The Dungeon Masters

Unless you are someone who actually plays Dungeons and Dragons, chances are you look upon those that do with scorn. This documentary will help you get over yourself and learn to look past the outer trappings of gamers -- the costumes, the nerdiness, and the obsessions with other worlds – to see the people who are no different than some slob painting his face with team colors before heading to the bleachers to watch the game. Director Keven McAlester concentrates on three game masters to tell his tale, and while each of their stories in interesting on its own, it’s the culmunitive nature of their tales that makes the movie work. It may not make you want to put on a cape, pick up a pair of dice and head off to a gamers’ convention, but it will give you back that sense of freedom you had when you played games as a kid.
