Gamerz

This movie is a poorly shot Scottish film about a guy who has developed his own D&D game scenario and makes this group of D&D guys (and a gal) play it. The group looses their usual place to play in the basement of this copy room at the University. The Dungeonmaster's grandma makes cloaks for all the members and they head into the woods to play their game. Can anyone say… LARP? They find this tower that the girl knows about. The game is played and while the dungeonmaster narrates all of the action while the players roll dice and yell about savings throws and such. The dungeonmaster has a crush on the girl, but one of the new players also seems to be making a play for her. So the DM kills everyone's character during the game. Then everyone is bummed out and he changes his mind. I wouldn't recommend this one. Some of the fighting scenes were shot with the help of the Glasgow University role playing association. Seriously – that's a place to throw a grenade if you've got one…
