History
The Sakura Moon Empire is a "closed" larp (as in not open to outsiders) founded by a former Amtgarder. It exists in central Florida . Sakura moon operates in a very "Asian" theme atmosphere. Their parks, garb, officers, and even the classes that they play are usually inspired by the orient and related areas. For a time they used elements of Amtgard rulebooks, and were requested to stop doing so as they were not a contracted amtgard group. Some members for a time on E-Sam reported that they were seeking a contract with the BLBOD but this is not the case any longer, and they now apparently have their own independent rules.
They formerly used the name "Sakura Moon Shogunate" (SMS) before changing Shogunate to Empire in early 2008.
Some members of SME visited the Neverwinter winter coronation in January of 2008, where they presented King Stinkfoot a royal cape as a gift.
From an SME Official
The Sakura Moon Shogunates are a collection of Japanese style "clans" organized into Shogunates. Our parks are many and have to be organized in such a way as to have both autonomy and organization across all of Florida. The SMS have throw many large scale events at various parks throughout Florida as our numbers allow for events in the range of hundreds of players.
Amtgard legal:
The SMS for a time claimed to be an Amtgard group, but no longer does so. They are not an amtgard group, and are best categorized as a different LARP with some shared history.
