History

A strongly role-play oriented group, Ironwood's park is small, but the players are friendly and love to quest. Our populace fluctuates weekly due to the relative youth of our players -- many are students without regular transportation.

Ironwood is a known hot spot for rebellion when called for by RP, and is known for it's hospitality and availability for hosting Monarchs and Kingdom level one-day events.

On a mundane note, on-site porta-potties (until the main pavilion restrooms are completed) and restrooms, water fountains, a large covered pavilion, and a children's playground are available, and lend to the more family oriented atmosphere of this park. Watch out for the waterfowl - the goose is greedy.

There is a Kroger and other amenities at I-45 and 336, on your way in.

Current Monarchy

The current monarchy is supporting the ongoing trend of family oriented activities, including AmtKids training and tourneys, promotion of A&S with monthly themed competitions (See below), enforcement of minimum garb standard, promotion of the Rules of Play 7.5+, amusing rather than totally dry courts, public acknowledgment of achievement wherever possible, and in general having fun.

Theme Days for this Reign:

  • 09/18 - Autumn Colors
  • 10/09 - Ghosts & Ghoulies
  • 11/20 - Winter Holidays
  • 12/00 - No theme day due to the holidays
  • 01/15 - Snow
  • 02/19 - Spring War

All dates are subject to change due to conflicts with Kingdom/Interkingdom calendar, etc. Further information on each day and the associated activities is available on out Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/108776329171507/ and/or on our Wetlands Forum page at http://www.amtgard-wl.com/bb/viewforum.php?f=20 .
