A Chapter of the Principality of Rivermoor
Contents
History
A brief history of Centerpoint, one of two known chapter's to be active in Kansas. The other being Quadrivium.We keep hearing rumors of more, but nothing concrete has surfaced yet.
2006: Dane Pisces, VERY formerly of Rogue's Haven (Tyler, TX), digs "The Ghetto Blaster" out of his closet while moving. This inspires him to make a handful more weapons and to start beating on his friends with them. Inevitably, said friends make weapons of their own and begin to fight back. This is the beginning of our shire, 6 months spent beating one another with half-finished weapons.
2007: Tenebrus gets fed up with Dane's lack of vision and moves the park to a better location. Furthermore, he recruits new members and generally Re-Founds the park. Diermuid and Tigger DeCat, two Veteran player's join and help get the park to look more like Amtgard. Centerpoint peaks it's attendance at 19 people just before the winter sets in. Discussions begin in earnest about moving away from Freehold status.
2008: Numbers trail off throughout the winter, but begin to climb again as march approaches. Our first formal Mid-reign has 26 in attendance. Our Third Coronation becomes our largest event yet, and probably the largest gathering of Freehold People ever.(42!) Tenebrus is elected Sheriff with his brothers Biggs and Wedge Filling in the Positions of Champion and Regent respectively. Real life reared it's ugly head over the summer and the park goes down to Tigger, Lily, Diermuid and occasionally Tenebrus. In a bold decision to help our floundering park, Tigger and Lily help scout out a new location and Centerpoint moves to Shawnee Mission Park. After a Mid-reign with an attendance of 8 members, veteran player Dreadd Jester and his family joined and started a new upswing in numbers. Dreadd Jester brought with him the household WindSwords. Shortly after Mid-Riegn another veteran player Oce and his girlfriend Kartoushe joined us. The next big boone in players was Striker and due to his recruitment and organization of the boyscout troop his son is in, our numbers quickly grew. November 8th, 2008, Tigger deCat became the first non-founding member of the park to hold the office of Sheriff. In honor of Tigger's Coronation, Kartouche created an amazingly wonderful torte that will go down in CenterPoint's history as legendary! Regent Dreadd Jester and Sheriff Tigger start a weekly food and drink arts competition, where one food item and one drink item could be entered each week. This was a great success. As a prize for the winner of the weekly food competition Dreadd Jester created 'The Pie' both on paper and the real shield.
2009: Off to a good start. Less than 1 week into the year and we finally got accepted into Rivermoor! The Mid-reign was locals only but still over 20 people, many awards were handed out, including the title of 'shield maiden' to Jazzie Riordan and a special item 'The Pie' to Lily, for winning the weekly food and drink competition. Striker took home the most awards due to his quick dedication to Centerpoint and all that Amtgard stands for.

We've Moved! Centerpoint has migrated to the far more high profile park of Shawnee Mission Park. Located off of 87th and Renner Road, SMP is the most heavily trafficked park in the state. We currently play in the Walnut grove area of the park. To find us, turn left at the Park entrance, take the first right, and park in the large parking lot on the left of the road. Or, just follow the signs that say Amtgard.
Currently, we play on Saturdays from 1pm until we're too tired to move.
From I-435
Coming from either I435 North or South, take the 87th street exit. Head west and turn right(north) on Renner Rd. Follow Renner until you see the large sign that says "Shawnee Mission Park" There are also street signs to point you in the right direction.
Also, visit the directions page on our website for further info.
