Amtgard is a live-action fantasy roleplaying and boffer combat game primarily based in the United States as well as other countries (Germany, Croatia, Canada, Korea, and more). The organization has hundreds of active groups with over ten thousand members world-wide.

Amtgard was created by James H. Haren II, also known as Peter La Grue, in El Paso, Texas in 1983[1]. Taking pieces from the rulebooks for both Emarthnguarth and Dagorhir (both of which he had played previously), he advertised in the newspaper for an event known as "Attila the Hun's Birthday Bash." Though only a few people showed that first day, it was a hit, and soon the game spread throughout the state and then the country. The largest concentrations of Amtgard chapters are in Texas and the Central United States, but groups are found throughout the United States as well as in Canada, Croatia, Japan, Finland, Germany, Korea, Russia, and Sweden.

The Barony of Darkmoon is a chapter of Amtgard under the Empire of the Iron Mountains. We meet at Palmer Park every Saturday at 1:00pm.
