Whether your Dag, Bel, Amt, or some other foam fighting game whats your favorite foam weapon

Thinking of making another flail, and how to get a chain link aesthetic. I was imagining wrapping thin lengths of yoga mat foam in athletic tape to create loops, closing each through the previous one to make a chain.

Anyone tried anything like that? Any obvious concerns or advice on making it more durable?

I am new to Amtgard! I have made rocks which I have been loving at field!

I have realized no one at my park and not many in my kingdom use rocks.

So I am coming here for help! I want to figure out a way to attach the rocks to me so I can bring multiple around with me at a time!

Do any of you guys use rocks? Do you know other players that do? And how do they carry them? Any tips or tricks for using rocks I may not know?

Any help is appreciated!!

Hello, fellow Amtgard enthusiasts. Would anyone be interested in helping me come up with some "Achievements" for classes?

Our park has the luck of getting a lot of new players recently. They're all having fun and want to level up as fast as possible. I figured a great way to both encourage them to learn their abilities and also speed them up would be to invent some "achievements": challenges relevant to their current class and level that would get them a bonus credit each weekend if they managed to completed it. Then, since I was on the grind anyway, I figured "Why not make a set of achievements for each class that were fun enough for anyone interested to try and complete?"

I haven't played every class, so I'm having a tough time coming up with compelling achievements. Are there any paragons or savvy players who would like to brainstorm some achievements for their favorite class? If we get some good ones, I'll compile them and we can make a game out of it. You're of course free to use whatever is here if it would benefit your park!

Constraints should probably be something like:

1. It has to be a clear, thematic challenge
2. Relevant to the 'vibe' of the class (i.e. don't make a Healer achievement 'go kill 5 people')
3. It should attempt to teach the player either a strategy, tactic, or ability
4. It should be fun to attempt
5. It should prioritize 'actively' trying to do something rather than passive (i.e. 'survive')

Some of the ones I've got so far are:

Warrior
- Hard as Nails: Using your Hardened weapon or shield, block 3 Destruction effects that would otherwise destroy your equipment.
- Javelin Toss: Score 3 kills with a thrown Javelin in a single Battlegame.
- Off-Tank: Insult an enemy and hold their attention for the full 30 seconds without the effect being broken.
- Resourceful: Use Scavenge to repair a weapon, then get a kill with that same weapon in the same life.

Barbarian
- Uncontrolled: Call “Immune” before a Command or Subdual spell is cast on you, then immediately kill the caster for their ignorance.
- Fjord Warrior: In a single Battlegame, block at least 3 Iceballs that were meant for your teammates.
- Good at What I Do: Strategically break every point of armor an enemy is wearing before killing them**.**
- That’s Barbaric: Use Brutal Strike to leg a class that could otherwise escape using spells like Shadowstep, Teleport, or Heal. Wait 25 seconds, then finish the job.

Monk

- Agile Warrior: Complete an entire Battlegame without dying to a Thrown Weapon, Projectile, or Magic Ball in a Battlegame where all 3 are present on the field.
- Ghostbuster: Successfully Banish 3 enemies in a single Battlegame.
- Ki Master: Catch a Spell Ball thrown at you or an ally, then return it to the caster.

Hey y'all, lifetime martial maniac finally giving casting classes a go and I've decided on Wizard for the pure reason of spell ball sniping. What are the best ways you carry your spell balls on field? I've seen pouches and satchels used at local park, and I've considered getting tennis ball hip clips for my loadout. But I want to know what you do or some crazy things you've seen! Thanks!
