Amtgard is a Fantasy Live
Action Roleplay game (LARP) in which you become part of the adventure. Instead
of paper and dice as in traditional roleplaying, you carry your sword and
shield, your axe and bow, or whatever suits your fancy.
Don't worry, the swords, axes or any weapon for that matter are not real.
They are made from PVC piping, safely padded with camp pad or funoodle. What
sets Amtgard apart from other LARP's is our choice of fighting classes that you
may play. Assassin, Barbarian, Monk, and Warrior are to name a few. Each has
it's own abilites and drawbacks which makes each class unique.
Amtgard also has four Magic Using Classes; Bard, Druid, Healer, and Wizard.
Each class has it's own spells to choose from and they are usually in the form of
a strip of cloth that indicate that an item or person is enchanted, or a padded
ball that you would throw at your target.
The Kingdom of Goldenvale, located in Nashua, New Hampshire, is just one of
the ten kingdoms that form a part of Amtgard. Along with the kingdoms, there are
also smaller Duchies, Baronies and Shires that make Amtgard whole. Many of the
other Amtgard chapters are located in the western United States with some in
Florida, Louisiana, and Tennessee. Amtgard even has chapters in Canada, Norway,
and Germany as well.
