Let me say this, back in the day, say about 20 years ago, Darkon was first and formost FUN. Yes it was crazy, yes we looked funny, and sometimes even spoke funny. We didn't take ourselves too seriously though. There was a good amount of cameraderie and cooperation. Of course there were folks who took it all too seriously, but what group doesn't have those people. Back then it was a game, a wargame even. There was enough role-play to be fun, but the whole point was to bash the crap out of each other for the day or the weekend. There is something viceral and exciting about taking out the enemy in an unscripted fight with swords, daggers, axes, etc. It was not quite really dangerous, but people got hurt on occasion (I sprained my wrist and almost dislocated my elbow in two separate incidents).
Everyone should try out something like this at some point in thier lives.
