    D&D is the glue that has kept our friendship group together since the 80's. I love my mates & I love the game.
  • Funny seeing the older CR set, this must’ve been a filmed a while ago!
  • As someone who survived the satanic panic of the 80's it is gratifying to see the hobby I love, come to a place of acceptance and understanding.
  • Having Liam represent CR was a wise choice. He is easily the emotional engine of the group.

    Most of my favorite DND people were in this, thank you. I'm going to show this to people who may not understand.
  • Nice doc, maybe a little too short, but very sweet. Deborah Ann Woll is such a fun player to watch, wish she had more in-person games to watch.
  • Ahh...the satanic panic where they told people then we could actual summon creatures from the monsters manual. If that actually happened, do you know how many ancient black dragons or reds would be flying about? I'm so glad to see it come back. Just remember this...there are other RPGs and worlds outside and not just D&D. Go explore and find your home.
  • I know I'd much rather spend time with my friends creating stories than passively consuming someone else's.
  • Table top has been one of my favorite things I started in the last couple years. Have two great groups and seeing 3 other grown ass adults teary eyed about a story we all created, in our heads, is something I will take to my grave. It can be magical.

    I don’t think people realize how many lives this game has saved by allowing people who otherwise might not have been able to make friends find a purpose.

    This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking piece that shows the emotional impact of this great game. It is more than just books and dice, more than just sharing stories - it's sharing an experience together with others in a way that you'll never be able to otherwise. Thanks to everyone who put this together. Kudos.
  • I remember the panic back in the 80s over D&D, I used to tell people it is no different than being an actor in a play, on tv, or in a movie. It's roleplaying, there's nothing to do with devil worshipping in it.
  • I was there for the panic, and I knew then they were wrong. i knew this game had great potential to reach people, to entertain them, and to help them learn those vital social skills. Because it did all those things and more for me. Great film. Thanks!
