The Gamers: Dorkness Rising

Proof that a low budget, indie film can still be funny. Not only did I LOL, but I ROFL a few times. But be warned, if you aren't a gamer or know closely someone who is, you'd probably enjoy an IRS training film more.

As a long-time gamer, both computer and paper-and-pencil, I could relate to this one. Dungeons and Dragons and GURPS meet The Guild.

I give it 4 stars out of 5

Plot Summary:
When a group of fantasy role-playing friends can't get their characters into any action beyond seducing tavern wenches and tormenting villagers, the dungeon master introduces a girl who also plays a sexy character in their game. Now the adventurers must pull it together, both at the table and inside the game, to defeat the necromancer Mort Kemnon and save their beloved gaming group. Matt Vancil directs this entertaining parody.
