Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Thank you for your interest in the project! Join the Discord for more information!

  • These rules represent a proposed ruleset for the Amtgard LARP. All references to the organization are used from that perspective, and do not represent current organizational policy or procedures. Amtgard is a trademark of Amtgard International.
  • This wiki is the detailed, comprehensive form of the ruleset. You can find the condensed Quick-Play rules here. These are currently still a work in progress.
  • To view the current official Amtgard rules, please see the Amtgard V8 Rulebook.




Ditch

The Ditch game mode, as the name implies, only uses Ditch layer rules. That means only the core combat rules. No armor, no projectiles, no siege weapons, no classes, and no roleplay abilities. Unlike Duels and Tournaments, Ditch games are fought with teams of players. Ditch games are a great way to ease new players into the game, as well as an excellent warm up or cool down activity.

A common modification to Ditch is to prohibit Shield Crushing, a keyword effect that can be gained through the construction of Great weapons. Removing Shield Crushing ensures only the most basic combat rules are available to combatants.


Is Roleplay expected? Roleplay is rarely, if ever, expected in Ditch games.




Example Games

Developer Note: Full examples for this game mode to be included here in the future. If you see this message and have a simple write-up for a game in this style, send it to the V9 Development Team on Facebook, Discord, or v9@amtgard.com
