The Gamers: Dorkness Rising

The Gamers Dorkness Rising is a feature length film produced by Dead Gentlemen Productions, and focuses on a group of tabletop gamers as their gamemaster attempts to shepherd them through a campaign that theyve played through three times and have yet to actually finish. While the film is set in the same universe as and has a similar theme to its predecessor, The Gamers, it is not a direct sequel to the first film, as it focuses on a different group of players. Also, unlike its predecessor, this film dedicates a substantial portion of the film to the players themselves, and not their characters. It began filming in 2005 and was set for release in 2006, and was finally released at Gen Con in Indianapolis by Anthem Pictures on August 14, 2008. Paizo had an exclusive sales window for the 2008 Gen Con convention where the cast and crew of The Gamers Dorkness Rising were signing copies at the Paizo booth.

The campaign begins when the characters Luster Gary, Flynn the Fine Leo, and Daphne Joanna are summoned before King Erasmus the Randomly Biased. The evil necromancer Mort Kemnon has discovered an artifact known as the Mask of Death and wishes to use this to overthrow the kingdom. As they go on their way, where Luster kills a random NPC while Daphne attempts to roleplay, they are summoned before the Hierophant of the Grand Illuminated Holy Order of Therin who sends two members of his order to accompany the party, Brother Silence Cass and Sir Osric Lodge the latter of whom the other players with the exception of Joanna take an instant dislike to, as Lodge created Osric just to keep the story on track. On their way, the group runs into a large party of goblins. The group and Cass in particular are surprised and embarrassed when Joannas allegedly poorly designed character singlehandedly defeats the entire goblin party Leos bard is killed three times, however, which becomes a running joke throughout the remainder of the film.Resting at an inn near Westhaven, the group faces and defeats Mort Agrippa. They head out for Westhaven and decide to stop playing for the night. Lodge explains to Joanna the reasons why he keeps the other players on such a short leash if he does not, they will kill, plunder, and impregnate the fantasy world. The following week, the players continue the campaign by facing Drazuul in the town of Westhaven. Due to his characters weak traits, Leo goes through multiple copies of the character until the players are able to cleverly defeat Drazuul by hiding behind the mound of dead bards. Torturing Drazuul with holy water, they learn of Mort Kemnons location. ........
