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.”

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Hadoooken!!
Reviewer: Nessundorma

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Great movie
Reviewer: bugleyman

Different than, and probably not quite as funny as, the Gamers, but still a must-see.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Best DnD movie ever!
Reviewer: Dragonborn3

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Everything I ever wanted in a gaming movie
Reviewer: Theo Black

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Great Fun
Reviewer: Eric Tenneson

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar MUST HAVE MORE!!!!
Reviewer: William Sinclair

When's the next movie coming out?!?!?!?! I laughed my butt off!!! OUTSTANDING!!! Hilarious. Great plot! MORE MORE MORE!!!!!

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Awesome!
Reviewer: S.Baldrick

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.)

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Loved the first, the second is better..
Reviewer: mcargent

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.

FullStarFullStarFullStarFullStarFullStar Pretty good...
Reviewer: cjcrashoveride

But not as good as the first one. The two actors who the plot centers along seem to be forcing it a bit throughout out the movie. The only time this movie shines is when they actually are playing the game. I say if they make a new one go back to the first movie and do that. Just have it be people playing, don't try to give it a plot when you can't even get good enough actors.

I'm excited, as I will be at GenCon and can pick up my copy... but... Gencon runs the 14-17.. and the announcement says you will have it there on the 18th?

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

David Campbell 16,

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.

Ben Dobyns,

Hi! I just wanted to drop by and let everyone know that Dead Gentlemen will be checking in here periodically to answer questions about the upcoming Dorkness Rising release. If you have any burning queries, please don't hesitate to post them!

Thanks,

Ben Dobyns
Director of Development
Dead Gentlemen Productions

Lasse Johansen,

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!
