A Brief Introduction
Amtgard is another live-action game, but this is one where you actually get to hit
people. We have practice on Fridays at DeSmet Circle (on the end of Standard st.)
It uses foam covered PVC (aka boffers) as weapons, with daggers, broadswords
and staves being the most common. Gonzaga's chapter is called the Unknown
Shire, and is open to the general public. It plays a lot like D&D, with character
classes and stuff, but most of the time we just beat on each other, instead. Our
'real' battlegame times are Sunday afternoons in Spokane's Riverfront park at noon.
We meet by this clocktower that looks like an Americanized version of Big Ben or
something. I'm sure those of you from Spokane know where I'm talking about.
And in Amtgard, just to keep it safe, no head shots are allowed. A waiver is also
required to play the official game.
