Tavern Brawl

Tavern Brawl

There you are, sitting at the bar, minding your own business over a tankard of ale, when all of a sudden a fight breaks out between patrons. Since no one is carrying weapons, everyone grabs what is close at hand and starts wailing away on each other. Grab your mug in one hand, a barstool leg in the other, and join the fray!

Teams: Free-for-All or Multiple 2-4 Player Teams

Lives: Unlimited

Respawn: 60 count

Players: Free-for-All or 2+ Players per Team

Objective: To have fun using non-traditional Amtgard weapons. This is a wonderful creative outlet - just tell the populace to come up with non-weapons and give them a couple of weeks. You will be amazed at the interesting items they invent. Table legs (legal sword under 30” with brown cover); steak knives (melee daggers); pots and pans (foam constructs only); plates, bottles, cups and mugs (safe foam throwing weapons); meat cleavers (flat blade melee daggers); rolling pins (legal sword under 24” with brown or gray cover); table tops (medium shields with brown covers, may not be affixed to the arm but may be held by the cover); sausage links (brown or red covered nun-chucks). Other foam representations of food, kitchen items or anything that might be found in an actual fantasy/medieval tavern.

Scenario Rules: Mark off the area to serve as the tavern with ribbon. Allow plenty of room for moving and fighting. Normal weaponry, shields and armor are not permitted inside the Tavern. All items carried into the Tavern Brawl must look like tavern items. No weapons permitted longer than 36” unless approved by the Reeve. Throwing weapons are permitted, so long as they meet the above criteria. Bows and siege weapons are not allowed (well, maybe a huge Keg thrown by three people!) The winner of each round is the last man (or woman or team) standing!

Refresh: None

Types Best Supported: Militia (Modified, see above)
