A Dicebag of Dungeons and Dragons Documentaries

Posted by michael on from the beware-of-gazebos dept.

Jason Scott writes "While we're celebrating 30 years of Dungeons and Dragons, Slashdot readers might as well sit back with their DVD players and enjoy a few documentaries that have recently popped up; all of them done by independent filmmakers, too! Uber Goober: The Movie calls itself 'A Film About Gamers' is a not-taking-itself-too-seriously overview of the life of RPGs and LARPs. Life With the Dice Bag, a 'Documentary about Role Playing Games and the people who play them' looks to take itself a bit more seriously as it covers the last GenCon held in Milwaukee. And finally, who can resist the pull of The Dungeons and Dragons Experience?"

  1. original rules by TheQwe · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...I (or rather my dad) has the original rulebooks, priced at $10 and illustrated with cheesy line drawings. It's come a long way.

  2. RPG column... by Short+Circuit · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've been writing a column about role playing games. (See my sig.) It's been running for about four months, even if it only exists in my blog. :)

    I'm also looking for people interested in trying an idea I had for an email-based D&D game. Check out the FAQ for it.

    The Gamers

    Oh wait, this isn't a poll...

    Seriously though, if you're lucky enough to be at GenCon this week, you can stop and say hi to the film's creators (and see the premier of their newest movie).
