Amtgard Resources

Amtgard is entirely run by volunteers who have done a lot of work to pass their knowledge down to others looking to get involved. Below you can find links to our rules and bylaws as well as resources for making gear and interacting with the larger Amtgard community. If you don't find what you're looking for here, please reach out to one of the Facebook groups and ask.

Empire of the Iron Mountains File Repository

The Iron Mountains maintains an online file repository that contains our Corpora (operating guidelines), Bylaws, Policies, Liability Waiver, Parent Guardian Consent Form, and other records. The repository is maintained by the Imperial Prime Minister and the Imperial Historian.


Online Record Keeper (ORK)

The Online Record Keeper allows you to find information about your credits, awards, and groups.

There is also a set of incredibly useful tools created by Ken Walker. The mobile ORK (mORK) allows you to view your credits and sign in on your phone. jsork is a collection of ORK integrations that can generate reports about ladder awards and leveling more easily.


Ombudsman

The Amtgard Ombudsman program is a small team of volunteers who act as mediators for local, kingdom, and inter-kingdom conflict. If you’re struggling with another player, your local monarch and kingdom monarch are great resources. If they can’t help you or you don’t know where to go, the Ombudsman can help. They have a strict confidentiality policy and can help players communicate and resolve conflicts effectively. You can contact the ombudsman at (ombudsman@amtgard.com) or on their Facebook page.


Amtwiki

The Amtwiki is a resource for information about players, groups, kingdoms, and stories from Amtgard's history.


Social Media

The Empire of the Iron Mountains and each of our parks maintain Facebook groups which are the easiest ways to get information and meet other members.

There are also a number of groups for discussing game-wide topics.

  • Amtgard - For general Amtgard discussion. This group gets a lot of traffic and is used to talk about current events or new ideas, share stories, and ask for advice.
  • A&S Anonymous - Here you can find crafters of every interest and level of expertise from a variety of LARP games to help you with your projects.
  • Amtgard Online Yard Sale - A place where amtgarders can buy and sell gear, crafts, and garb.
  • Circle of Monarchs - The Circle of Monarchs is a group that includes every kingdom monarch and a few other Amtgard officers. This group discusses Amtgard at an inter-kingdom scale and is available for the public to view, but not comment.
  • Amtgard International - The Amtgard International Board of Directors maintain control of the brand of Amtgard. They handle any legal business surrounding the Amtgard NPO, including the registration and defense of our trademark.
