About me:
Darkon

DARKON

DARKON is a feature documentary that follows the real-life adventures of an unusual group of weekend "warrior knights," fantasy role-playing gamers whose live action "battleground" is modern-day Baltimore, Maryland, re-imagined as a make-believe medieval world named Darkon. These live action gamers combine the physical drama of historical re-enactments with character-driven storylines inspired in part by such perennial favorite fantasy epics like the legends of King Arthur, Lord of the Rings, and the saga of Conan the Barbarian. As role players, they create alter-egos with rich emotional, psychological, and social lives. They costume themselves and physically act out their characters exploits both in intimate court intrigue and campouts and in panoramic battle scenarios involving competitive strategies, convincingly real props, and full contact "combat." Because real life so often gets in the way, its easy to understand these players motivations. Everybody wants to be a hero.

Loved the MOVIE. A solid documentary. Great work! I especially like the Dark Elf content.
I have played LARPs in the past (for like 15 years) takeing a small break to establish myself in MA. I intend to return and am thankfull that LARPs thrive and mean much to many.
Cheers!

Next in my Netflix Queue DARKON! I wait anxiously by my mailbox sword in hand to see what all the ruckus is about. I expect to be pleased and amused. I'll let U know after the viewing.
It is good to see LARPing is becoming well known, even dare I say popular.
