Amtgard is a non-sectarian Live Action Role Playing (LARP) sport. We work to recreate medieval battles with an added fantasy twist which further adds fun, and brings forth a new challenge.

Our weapons are made up of Kite-Sparr, Fiberglass, and/or graphite poles, that have been sheathed with a high impact foam, and clothed to give that more authentic look. Our weapons are safe, and light.

One can chose from a number of fighter classes such as Warrior, Barbarian, and Monk. Each class obtains new and unique abilities as one levels. A level is made up of 12 credits. In order to level one must attend a Battlegame/Outings/or fighter practice. There is one battlegame every week which is worth a full credit, and one fighter practice a week which is worth a 1/4 of a credit.

Outings such as Midreign, Coronations, and Clan are large campouts, and the number of credits one earns at a given event is at the Kings discretion.

Because Amtgard is a LARP onc takes on a completely new persona assuming a name chosen by that person and acting out how that person believes his/her character should act, be it evil, cowardly, and/ or the nicest person in the world. With that in mind the person then creates a character history which he/she follows by. It helps to add some depth to your persona.

After one has chosen a class he/she then creates the needed garb(clothing) matching the class and his/her preference, but be weary sometimes if one choses certain colors on their garb which could resemble that of a Clan or Household’s, could result in your own assassination.
