What is Amtgard?
Amtgard is a not for profit, non-sectarian group devoted to recreating elements of the medieval, ancient, and fantasy genres. The thrust of Amtgard is both recreational and educational, with major group efforts devoted to reconstruction of medieval combat. Amtgard weapons are safe, foam padded replicas of the real things.
What does it take to be in Amtgard?
The minimum requirement to play is to be older than 14 years of age, to fill out an information sheet and waiver and if under the age of 18 have a parent or legal guardians legal consent. It is also encouraged to get a copy of the rulebook, have a medieval costume, and create a history for yourself in the game.
What do I need my first time attending?
Nothing but yourself and a great attitude. We will provide you with loaner garb and weapons your first few times out. Once you have decided on your persona, there are many people who can help you get your own collection of Amtgard gear started. Granite Spyre is home to many Knights and Masters who can help you learn anything you would like.
