He leads her blindfolded down a rocky path, with her friends and fellow Court members guiding her way. At the end of the journey, the priest removes the blindfold, has her greet the sunset, and asks her to announce the band she wishes to follow. 7 Foreward Introduction from the Editor A Maturing Subculture the current state of affairs within this widespread or- yrd Con is a crucible of ideas and concepts.

  • Starting a Shire As a Newbie
    Starting A Shire As A Newbie I guess I should start at the beginning in my ramblings so that some people who do not know who I am can get a better perspective of why this is being written. I was first introduced into Amtgard while living in Irving, Texas. A bunch of gamers that where gaming on Friday and Saturday all nighters told me about this new game using padded swords and the like that was going to be started right there in our city. So of course being a huge fantasy buff, I quickly decided that this not only sounded cool but, could be the one thing that I had hopped somebody who was as crazy as me, but not as lazy would get around to creating. The shires first day was held at a horse ranch on some ones uncle or another private land. The sheriff played a griffon and the populace took him on. And from there met every week and I started enjoying the wonderful world of Amtgard. (Which btw if anyone knows what I’m talking about please get a hold of me yes I am still alive although the only amtname that sticks out in memory is Moon star from this time.) After some time of playing here along side the woman who would later become my wife. I had to leave on personal affairs that took me all over Texas. I played as a visitor at many parks although nowadays it being so long ago I can no longer remember people I met.

  • How to Become a Kingdom Sponsored Park
    How To Become a Kingdom Sponsored Park by Shalingh Step One: Have A Park If you are considering becoming fully signed and sponsored, your park needs to be a minimum of two players. Single players are not parks, since you can't exactly fight yourself. Ideally you would like your group to be more than two people; four is a solid number, as hopefully the majority of you are of legal age to be the four Officer positions. Officers are officials who help run and represent your group. Burning Lands requires that you have available to your park a minimum of one Burning Lands Corpora and one copy of the most up-to-date Rules of Play (which at the time of writing is 7.7). The RoP can be found readily on the main page of amtwiki.net, and the BL Corpora can be found at amtgardinc.com under the header Documents. Step Two: Sign up with Burning Lands In order to become anything more than a private group using the Amtgard rule system, a group must register with Burning Lands by filling out their contract. The standard BL contract allows your park to use the Amtgard name. You do not need, however, to obtain a contract before using the Amtgard Online Record Keeper at Amtgardrecords.com. The O.R.K., apart from being an incredibly useful, easy to use tool for keeping track of players and attendance also lets your group be listed with every other Amtgard park in the entire world, bringing your visibility up a little bit more.
