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 party: 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 fun parody of fantasy films and the adventure gaming community.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lovingly ridiculous romp that mines comedy from the chaos of tabletop gaming, balancing meta-humor about power gaming and genre tropes with goofy fantasy action that embraces its own absurdity. It's watching a group of misfits stumble toward heroism while the dungeon master desperately tries to keep the session from derailing.
