		Darkon fields can be generated artificially, by devices known as "flashlights" which generate a field that falls off inversely as the square of the distance from the source, so that the effect is mostly local.
		Darkon theoreticians have often been confused by the trend to call everything by its opposite (to use words like "light" to indicate the absence of darkons, words like "electron" to indicate the absence of holes, and words like "water" to indicate the absence of dryness).
		Thus, the darkon theoreticians concluded that darkon shooters carried by human beings are fine because the recipient of the darkons may express his/her preference to be shot or not - the recipient could express this preference to the source of the darkons - another human being.

	"Darkon" makes very weird people seem normal \| The Mac Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Yet Skip promptly dismisses the entire debate between Darkon and reality, insisting that Darkon’s “little world” is “just as real as the big world.” One young participant, meanwhile, describes how Darkon gives him a sense of belonging and accomplishment that he sees as preparation for his meek real-world identity to tackle life’s problems.
		Scenes like these hint tantalizingly at how real the Darkon universe is to its participants despite being based on the decidedly unreal type of fantasy narratives that populate film, TV, and fiction.
		His horror at the realities of the war make it clear that Darkon is his preferred site of battle, a place in which he and others can feel the pride and honor of heroism without confronting the cold realities which, in the “real” world, seem inseparable from it.

		That idea was not particulary bothersome to the darkon theoreticians becuase they didn't go to gambling casinos that often, and didn't have much sympathy for professional gamblers -- modern equivalents of Al Capone who spend most of their lives there.
		Many of the darkon theoreticians were from MIT, so they were quite disturbed by the ceiling domes of wine-dark opacity installed at the MIT bookstore (``Coop'').
		Thus, the darkon theoreticians concluded that darkon shooters carried by human beings are fine because the recipient of the darkons may express his/her preference to be shot or not -- the recipient could express this preference to the source of the darkons -- another human being.

	Movie: Darkon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Darkon" is about "larpers" (live-action role players) — adults who don capes to fight soccer-field battles and say things like, "Let us color the sea blood-red!" — and its nerdy "characters" all seem to be auditioning for the role of by-the-book salesman Dwight on "The Office."
		There's real affection for the people in "Darkon," even for an insufferable boor named Kenyon Wells, who might better be described as a "laroper," a live-action role overplayer.
		"Darkon" has surprisingly sophisticated camera work and music for a low-budget film (it's playing at the University of Minnesota's Bell Auditorium), with lovely helicopter images that help convey the larpers' grandiose fantasies.

	Interview: Luke Meyer Talks About Darkon - The Documentary Blog
		Darkon is war-game LARP in which physical combat is a large part of the game.
		But still we researched other LARP groups to make sure that Darkon was in fact the group that the documentary should be about.
		Darkon is one of the only LARP war-games that has incorporated a land map which incorporates ideas of property ownership and raises the stakes of the fighting because there is actually something that can be lost in battle.

		Not that there isn't a fair amount of flailing around with plywood shields in Darkon, and while that's shown to be damn good fun, it's the result of a failure of nations.
		AN: One of the ideas in Darkon that was most dear to me was that the world and life is a theatre, and we are all role-playing in a very intensive way.

		DARKON is a fascinating and colourful documentary about an endearingly bizarre live action role-playing game, whose hundreds of members dress up as wizards and warriors and engage in simulated, unchoreographed medieval battles with homemade weaponry.
		For some, however, as they develop inter-factional relationships, buy special powers to use in future battles, make treaties and learn secret languages, this escape is becoming the only thing important in their lives.

		Similarly, Darkon is home to a great diversity of animal life, from the common squirrel and wolf to infinitely stranger and most savage beasts.
		Darkon possesses only three cities to speak of, namely Martira Bay, Karg and Viaki.
		Indeed, their numbers are substantial enough that whole communities of their kind exist throughout the land, the most notable being the elven settlement of Nevuchar Springs, the dwarven mining-town of Tempe Falls, and the gnomish city of Mayvin (which is presumably your home).

	Review: Darkon - Film Junk
		Visually, Darkon is so much more interesting and dynamic than most documentaries could ever hope to be.
		They empathize with many of the role players, portraying them as social outcasts who are empowered by the game, and who apply the skills they’ve attained to their real lives to make positive change.
		Darkon will probably not appeal to mainstream audiences, but its non-technical approach should amuse and educate even mildly interested parties.

		"Everybody wants to be a hero." Ethnography on a grand cinematic canvas, DARKON is an 84-minute exploration of an unusual group of weekend "warrior knights," fantasy role-playing gamers whose live-action battleground is modern-day suburban Baltimore re-imagined as a medieval world called Darkon.
		"Darkon" is easily one of the documentary highlights of the 2006 SXSW Film Festival, and I expect it'll earn a swell of grass-roots support not unlike those for "Murderball" and "Spellbound."....
		Darkon works as a fascinating and colorful documentary about an endearingly bizarre game and as a "can't wait to see who wins" sports film.

		The 37-year-old stay-at-home father of three became the de facto emissary for Darkon to the rest of the world after Neel and Meyer made his in-game persona Bannor of Laconia’s plight to usurp Wells’ Mordom from its imperial perch the focus of their documentary.
		For Thurmond, Darkon was a haven from the, as she puts it, “bad scene” she had slipped into as an exotic dancer prior to becoming pregnant with her son.
