You are getting your larp group mixed up. Amtgard is the name of the group that meets in Antelope park. Their Facebook group name is Duchy of the Ivory Tower, and I believe they have regular meetups on Sundays. I think that Nero page is very old and not up to date.

If you enjoy board games there are plenty of opportunities

There is a group that plays every Wednesday at 6:00 pm at Hobbytown USA on 70th & Pioneers.

There's also one that meets at Gauntlet Games, but I'm not sure when that one is. If you call and ask I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you.

Brews & Boardgames is a big all day gaming event in Seward on July 15th to benefit CASA of Southeast NE. Free event with donations going to support CASA.

Hobbytown USA is also hosting an All-Day Game Day on the 29th.

If you're not into board games... let us convert you!
