Belegarth

This sport was started circa 1982 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. There are about 150-200 fighters in the Tulsa area.

The group I fight with is in Colorado Springs. A few people from Mordor have been visiting them every Saturday, well worth the 2 hour drive. They have 40+ turnouts. This game is a lot of fun. It's basically just like our sport, just different weapons and a few variations. The weapons look painful but they really aren't bad. They slice thru the air a lot better than ours, and they look neat.



2 thumbs up !



Plus the people are a lot of fun to hang out with. Friendly and welcoming, there's a great attitude on the field. I went to an event of theirs in Tulsa, and had an excellent time.

Here's Dkini, Chupa has been visiting too, good times.

Looks pretty sweet. Good to see there are even more crazy people like us out there.

I looked at their rules like a month or so ago, looked WAAAAAAAAY complicated.

i just can't get past fake mustach guy in the first picture. lol

looks fun, though.

Mustache guy; Zach, was being silly, I got a kick out of it. It's great to have some personality on the field.

I don't find the rules complicated. It was very easy for us to just jump in and fight with them. It's not like there's any magic system

I just keep forgetting to "bleed out" when I lose a leg. I forget how long it takes.

I invited them to Ragnarok, sounds like a handfull are going to make it !

This sounds pretty cool, I would like to see some of the weapons, etc. Do you think you could bring a couple of examples to Chaos Cryn?

Yeah, I'd like to try and bring a few of them to Chaos Wars too !

I'll make a point of taking more pictures of their weapons this weekend.

There used to be a group of them in St. Louis, but they didn't do much to drive membership. When their members started to move away the group slowly disbanded. The die hard foam fighters slipped into either Arnor (Belegarth) or Western Gate (Amtgard). When I first came to St. Louis I fought with them a few times before we started the group here.
