THACO: The Movie (2008) 

But if they do, keep the cameraman out of the shots.

@@wheelzmcgee4097 please index, edit together, and post every scene our hardworking crew was visible, I’d really like to know

The original "The Gamers" is a far more accurate portrayal of an RPG group than the sequel. "Dorkness RIsing" is wonderful, but that seems more like what an RPG group _thinks_ they're like, while "The Gamers" is what the group is _actually_ like. "THACO: The Movie" is probably the most accurate, though.

I saw AD&D Deities and Demi-Gods that one of the guys had in his stack of books so they not only had an AD&D DM screen but also some of those books as well.

Wait, who's your dad here?

@@mathwitch24601 Jon Olsen is my dad!

paul coy honestly, this is better then the gamers, but equal with dorkness rising

@@adamsmith2161 The difference is that in the gamers you have a bunch of roleplaying nerds and these guys are tableknights, different focus makes for a different feel.

i must be one of the odd ducks. watched this when i was like 25 and got most of it.

Ha same here

Also, what is role playing the sapphire way?

Maybe like Pokiman saphire

I don't think so...

I can't tell for sure, but it seems like he is actually meaning to say "role-playing the Sapphic way." Referring to the Greek poet Sappho.

I always wondered what he meant by that

Tonight is my fourth time :)

6th Time!

Console Commandants for pretty much any group

+Console Commandants That's the joke.

I know right lol.

eh. Every gen thinks the new gen is soft.

@@MK-11111 I started D&D with 3.0. I've played every edition, and I prefer AD&D 1e most of all. It definitely feels like a much safer game in 3.x onward. If someone wants to play that way, that's perfectly fine. I just initially said that Duck's rant was even more reflective about the game itself in 2022 than in 2008.

@@Unregistered.HyperCam.2 And I started with Blackmoor, hearing the exact same rant and sentiment said for each new edition and rpg. It just comes off as judgmental on newer players, as though you are "tougher" for playing older editions. You're not. I'm not.

@@MK-11111 I don't mean to be judgmental of newer players, nor do I think it makes someone "tougher" for playing older editions. I said I started with 3.0 to show I started a lot later than the characters in this film. Likewise, I know people that have been playing since the late 70s or early 80s that prefer 5e today. I feel there's an inherent difference in the level of danger in the game itself from edition to edition, but it's not a judgment of the people who choose to play an edition that feels - at least to me - more or less dangerous. The reason I favor 1e, above all else, is because I got tired of the "build" structure of 3.x onward, and it feels less bloated than 2e. That's all. I have no reason to judge people playing different editions or different games, as long as they're not trying to dictate what goes on at _my_ table, which hasn't really been a problem.

dude. thank you for this comment. rewatching these movies and couldnt remember the name unicorn city

well id like to be specific buuuuuuuuuut.................

It uses D6 for literally everything. The probability curve starts getting kind of unbalanced. Even small modifiers start having very large impacts. The system is just very wonky because it is meant to be able to be used for basically everything. In order to do that they had to make a system that was rather subpar for every genre.
