Legend of the Lich Lord

There are many sad gamer flicks out there. Made by gamers, for gamers. Almost all of them are painful to watch (with the possible exception of Knights of Badassdom). Not so this one my dear Frodo. Yes, we know its going to be the usual set of DnD characters, but when they opened with rogue in a dungeon humor, I was willing to stick around for more. Oh dear, so much more. So much more, and done so well. Humor! Plot twists! Decent acting! Wow. Just like a real movie. Even the special effects were well designed camera tricks and compositing, creating magic within the budget without looking cheezy. They fit the movie, just like the effects on the scene changes. Thank you. I enjoyed it.

This show reminded me of the D&D sessions of my youth. Proof that a dungeon does not have to be all serious hack and slash, while having an actual plot. Perfect thing to watch to cheer up a rainy day or to break out of that depression from being trapped in your home while a plague ravages the country (wait, that's really happening, not part of the story line...).

Saw this at Calgary a film festival and wish I went to see literally anything else. Comedic timing and "jokes" were terrible and it looked like something someone made in high school.

This is a silly fun way to spend your entertainment time. The script is full of terrible dad jokes and that is what makes it fantastic. It is The Office meets a junior high DnD session that has gone into the early hours of morning. The elves are wise and old, the wizard is drunk with power, the paladin has a quest, the thief finds traps, and the fighter seeks an appropriately magical weapon. On the villian side the BBEG has a power orb that is quite the sight to behold. Watching with friends and enemies will make this web series even more enjoyable.
