Fellowship of the Dice

I caught this at it's premiere night at the Gamestorm Con in Portland Oregon, and I must say that it was quite the treat.

Essentially a mockumentary focusing on an inexperienced player joining an established group, this enjoyable little film pokes a bit of loving fun at we gamers (and we deserve every second of it).

If you've been playing RPG's (especially D&D) for any length of time, you'll see your self in one or more of the core group of gamers. Interview clips from gamers at various cons add to the feeling "oh crap, I do that don't I?"

Also of note, the production values and editing are well above what one would expect from a low budget film of this type. The producers are gamers, but they're not just a few guys putting together a cheap film with a borrowed cam-corder, they know what they're doing and they do an excellent job.

If you see these guys at your next convention, stop by their booth and give their little film a shot. It's well worth the time, and they're a nice bunch of folks.
