A technique where a player has a ''shadow'', a person that follows the player around and can interact on an ingame-, and/or meta-level with the player. This ''shadow'' can for instance portray a players conscience or voices in the players head (and as such the shadow does not exist to other players), or could be something semi-''real'' like a posessing spirit or guardian angel (and then the shadow may or may not exist for other players).
==Examples==* Usually shadows are used to influence or control the player in someway. [[Knappnålshuvudet]] is a good example of a shadow-heavy LARP, where shadows in the form of ''guardian angels'' were used.* A variant of shadows called Phantom players was used in [[The Monitor Celestra]]. The phantoms stayed invisible unless they initiated player contact by touching a player during the game.
