[DVD]: The Gamers, reviewed by Jake (4/5)

http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10670.phtml

Jake de Oude's Summary:

A semi-professional movie that makes good-natured fun of roleplayers and RPG clichés. Plot is rather lacking but laughs are abundant, and the four commentary tracks add a lot of value.

A friend of mine bought it about six months ago and we all got a BIG laugh out of it here. Nimble the Thief has become an object lesson for us all. If you've played any classic fantasy RPGs (and you know you have , see this movie. It's worth it.

Cheap fun, for what you get. Also, I found the bonus materials fascinating. I liked seeing how some of the scenes were created.

As for the ending... I thought it was a cute commentary on rolepaying itself. What *is* going on?

Nice review, and very true. I have just one remark: the DVD _is_ available in stores, even overseas.
The SKU is DGP001.

It is? That's good news!

And the SKU is DGP001? That's weird. I asked Mr. Dobyns about the SKU, but he said that there wasn't one yet. The 'internal stock number' was 13.
Does your version by any chance also indicate an ISBN?

Anyway, it's good to hear that you can buy the DVD in stores.

Thanks for the correction Dirk!

Regarding the SKU, our new store manager is fantastic and has done wonders updating our system. An ISBN or UPC is on the way as well.
