''[[The Darkon Wargaming Club]]'' is a [[LARP]] [[Sword and Sorcery]] [[Fantasy]] game based around Baltimore, MD and Washington, DC. Founded in 1985 and built upon the rules of the now-defunct ''Emarthnguarth Outdoor Wargaming System'', Darkon grew from a handful of LARP enthusiasts to almost 2,000 members in 2005, with a small number of chapters dotting the country.
Much of
''Darkon'' is divided into countries that take on historical or fantasy cultures as their premise.
