Welcome to the home of the International Fantasy Gaming Society. We are a not-for-profit organization that produces fantasy-themed Live Action Roleplaying events. Our games are geared towards young and old alike, and provide opportunities for roleplaying, teamwork, safe live (boffer) combat, costuming, props-making, and many other creative outlets.

High quality, campaign-style events are our hallmark. Amazingly detailed props, intricately designed sets, recurring NPCs, realistic costumes, real ropes courses, in-game banquets, life-size dragons, and many special effects have all been featured in our games. Our production standards help make IFGS games the highest quality games in the LARP industry.

Take a look at some photos of our events, learn about what it's like to play in an IFGS game, and then get involved! The IFGS has chapters across the country. And if there's not one near you, you can start one!

Photo Gallery Updated

Submitted by Matt Puccio on 6/23/2008 - Society Website

I've updated the photo gallery with some new software. It shouldn't take so long to load the photos, and the navigation system with the new software is pretty slick.

If you have any great photos, send them to me (web@ifgs.org).

I've also created an IFGS group over at www.larpspace.com, a social networking site like MySpace or FaceBook, specifically aimed at LARP. I've found some interesting discussions and a lot of cool people over there. Check it out, sign up, join the IFGS group, and spread the word!
