Synopsis
DARKON is a new documentary that follows the real-life adventures of an unusual group of weekend “warrior knights,” fantasy roleplaying gamers whose live action “battleground” is modern-day Baltimore, Maryland re-imagined as a make-believe medieval world named Darkon. As role players, they create alteregos with rich emotional, psychological, and social lives. They costume themselves and physically act out their characters exploits both in intimate court intrigue and camp-outs 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.
