Welcome

What is Amtgard you ask? Amtgard is a fantasy and medieval recreational group that was started in El Paso, Texas, in the early eighties. Since then it has grown to include more than a dozen Kingdoms spanning the United States and various other countries such as Germany, Croatia, and Japan!

In Amtgard you carry your sword and shield, staff, bow, or whatever you desire onto the field of battle and fight against other people face to face. Now don't worry, the swords, axes or any of the other weapons are not real. They are recreation weapons safely padded with foam.

What sets Amtgard apart from other organizations is our emphasis on combat and the choice of classes that you may play. Assassin, Barbarian, Monk, and Warrior are to name a few. Each has it's own abilities and drawbacks that make them unique. Amtgard also has four magic using classes; Bard, Druid, Healer, and Wizard. Each class has it's own spells from which to choose.
