What is Amtgard?

Amtgard is an international non-profit organization that organizes medieval-themed battle games with foam swords. We believe that it's easier and safer to pad weapons than people, which is one of the big differences between Amtgard and the SCA. Amtgard also distinguishes itself from most other medieval battle game organizations with the introduction of fantasy elements, special abilities and powers, magic and monsters!

Who can play?

Anyone 14 years or older is welcome to come out and participate in our combat reenactments. Participants under 18 must have their Waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Anyone who is physically able and generally healthy is welcome. No special training is necessary, we'll be happy to show you the ropes. Safety is our number one priority, and all our equipment is padded enough that it is difficult to actually hurt anyone.

Waiver to Participate

What can I do?

Pick up a sword and pretend you're defending the powers of good against the minions of evil! Rather use a bow? Okay, grab your arrows and focus your eagle-eye on that band of invading orcs! Be a heathen barbarian, wielding a great club, or even a big rock! Want magic? Here's a spell ball - remember, fireballs cause a lot of collateral damage. Have a talent? Be a bard! Sing, play an instrument, recite poetry - oh, and freeze your foes in place! You're a people-person? How about a Healer? You'll be everyone's best friend!

What if I don't want to fight?

You are always welcome to dress up and join us on the sidelines, helping to add to the atmosphere. We're always looking for people to help run events, referee games, make equipment, teach leatherwork or armor-smithing, sew costumes, and bring cookies!

Can I just watch?

Absolutely! Spectators are always welcome; our Knights love the roar of an adoring crowd. And did we mention the cookies?

How much does it cost?

Amtgard and Falcon Tor are non-profit organization. You can play for free. We will even loan you a weapon your first time. If you'd like to join Falcon Tor and have a vote in how we run things, you're required to pay minimal dues, just to cover our costs. Dues are $6.00 for six months. That's not too bad, right? Once you become a regular, you will be expected to make or buy your own weapons and garb (that's what we call our costumes). We're happy to help you out with that, too.
