Amtgard is a free-to-join, fantasy-themed, boffer LARP community with participation options for both combat and non-combat members. Amtgard boasts a full class system, including bow-wielding archers, spell-flinging wizards, and armor-clad warriors.
Amtgard combat is full-speed and medium-contact. Medium contact means that players will often make physical contact with each other using approved equipment but grappling, head shots, and most other forms of non-padded contact are prohibited.

Amtgard is not an immersive roleplay experience, although we encourage our players to dress and portray themselves in line with the heroic fantasy genre.
Roleplay is only expected when participating in dedicated roleplay activities, such as Quests and Scenario battles. The setting and narratives are driven by regional and local-level initiatives with no oversight from Amtgard International. Amtgard roleplay is typically episodic in nature.
