Movie: The Gamers: Dorkness Rising (2008)
Tagline: They'll be taking a few liberties with the rules.
Trivia: In the dungeon, a sign on a door the characters pass through that Sir Osric removes (apparently due to it being a trap) has letters in stencil form that say “Long Live Gygax,” a reference to the author and originator (Gary Gygax) of the original Dungeons and Dragons game.
Goofs: Continuity: During the credits the spelling of Rennard’s name changes. It is spelled “Rennard” when referencing the living character, but the undead character is spelled “Reynard.”
“All Lodge wants is for 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 distrust: a non-player character controlled by Lodge, who 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. Game on! Written by Matt Vancil”
