New Player Guide
What You’ll Need For Your First Day…
Comfortable clothes you can move in
A water bottle
Closed toe shoes (recommended)
A good attitude and a sense of fun!
That’s it!
Learning the Game
Amtgard has a rulebook called the Rule of Play that explains classes, spells, and safety. You can read it online or ask a veteran to teach you the basics.
What to Expect
Parks usually meet once a week for a few hours. You might see people fighting, others sewing garb, teaching, cooking, or practicing magic for roleplay. Someone will greet you and help you sign a simple waiver before joining the fun.
You can choose to:
-
Jump into a battle with a loaner weapon
-
Watch and learn how the game works
-
Talk to people about classes, crafting, or quests
-
Ask questions about how to get involved
There is no pressure to do everything right away. Go at your own pace!
Finding Your Park
The Kingdom of Blackspire has many parks across Oregon and even Washington. Each park has its own community, but all share the same welcoming spirit.
Visit the Find a Park website to locate one near you and check when they meet.
