The Gamers: Dorkness Rising DVD
Paizo Publishing, LLC
The Gamers: Dorkness Rising follows Lodge, Dungeon Master and budding writer, who wants his gaming group to finish their adventure. Unfortunately, they’re more interested in seducing barmaids, mooning their enemies, and setting random villagers on fire. Desperate to rein in his players, Lodge injects two newbies into the fray: a non-player character controlled by Lodge, whom the power gamers immediately distrust, and the rarest gamer of all—a girl. Can the group overcome their bickering to save the kingdom, or will the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed? A parody of fantasy films and the adventure gaming community, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising is a hilarious romp through the world of sword and sorcery—in this case, a world of exploding peasants, giant house cats, and undead roast turkeys. The trailer can be found at www.the-gamers.com.
Shot in high definition, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising is the most ambitious feature film that Dead Gentlemen Productions has produced to date. It was test screened in 2006 at the Gen Con game fair to standing ovations and standing room only. Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis, creators of the Dragonlance novels & New York Times Bestselling authors, called it "a critical hit! ...Original and funny—a real treat for fans of both fantasy and gaming.”
Special Features:

I came into this not expecting much. At the end I had an ear to ear grin. This movie reminded me way too much of my group that it had me rolling.
Great movie!! I wish these guys made the D&D movie and not that other guy. I could see The Gamers being a hit T.V. series! My group laughed to tears. Loved it! A must see for gamers and nongamers alike.
A fun and enjoyable movie.
Different than, and probably not quite as funny as, the Gamers, but still a must-see.
This movie was really well made and I've watched so much I sometimes quote it, during games and out of them. Buy the DvD and support the Gamers!
They might make another movie.
I've seen a few gaming movies and this by far is the best one I've seen. It has some great jokes that are so true to life. and it really makes you look at the things that gaming brings out in people. This movie is worth buying it new here. It is better than any other gaming movie out there.
Ever since we bought this DVD about two months ago, my wife and I have continued to be entertained while watching it about every other week or so. It's apparent how much fun they had while making it, and still fun to watch.
If there is a sequel, I hope the whole cast remains in it. They are all a delight and have great chemistry in their interactions.
When's the next movie coming out?!?!?!?! I laughed my butt off!!! OUTSTANDING!!! Hilarious. Great plot! MORE MORE MORE!!!!!
I loved this DVD. It was very funny and very true to gamer life. Some of the stuff was exaggerated, but not by much. I will admit that a lot of it hit close to home. The production values were a vast improvement on the first Gamers movie and there was no absurdist de-construction in this story as compared to the first movie. (As I note, I loved the original Gamers movie so I’m not knocking it. “Dorkness” is not a sequel: Both movies stand on their own and are pretty different movies although there are 2 references to the original and a cameo from a character from the first movie.)
I loved the first "The Gamers". I didn't think they'd be able to do better with a sequel, but I think they did.
I thought there was more character development, both in the game and out, and thought the plot was very well done. I look forward to seeing more from these guys. I'm going to have to pick up some of their non-gamer related movies and see how they are.

Sigh. That'll teach me not to double-check dates in a press release. It'll be the 14th.

Cool. I'd hate to have to circle the center until your booth opened on Monday, which is the kind of thing I might do to get this movie.

I was just wondering, if there is an answer to this yet, will the release be region free? Or something to that effect, seeing as I'm stuck far away in the "second region".
In any case, looking forwards to finally seeing it!
