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.

History

The Sakura Moon Empire is a "closed" larp (as in not open to outsiders) founded by a former Amtgarder from Rising Winds. From their inception they used elements of Amtgard; our rule books edited to their taste, weapons that resembled ours but would be considered unsafe. Their leader Jared told his own people that they were a legal Amtgard Kingdom, then denied it when confronted. They purposely avoided contact with actual amtgard groups, but claimed to be amtgard on several internet fourms and at conventions. They were told to stop doing so as they were not a contracted amtgard group, let alone a kingdom. Some members for a time on E-Sam reported that they were seeking a contract with the BLBOD but it turned out the whole thing was a massive stalling technique designed to stop us from suing them. Now apparently have their own independent rules called 'the way of the Sword' .

This boffer group exists in central Florida, in some cases share cities with the kingdom of Neverwinter . 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. They once 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.
