This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: RPGPundit;582260Well, if for example the documentary was a well-done academic piece of historical interest, revealing something new about the game or its creation...

Speaking about this, the guys working on the documentary met Jon Peterson at GenCon and he is going to be an advisor on the project apparently. He's the guy that wrote that very interesting book: Playing at the World. See also the namesake blog.

Quote from: TristramEvans;581805I have yet to see a good RPg documentary. All of them seem to focus on the fringe or most extreme elements of the hobby, and while entertaining, I wouldn't mind someone doing a documentary about normal, well-adjusted gamers instead of just a "look how geeky these weirdoes are" expose like Uber Goober.

This does seem more like the former than the latter. Though more than that, it seems like a panoramic look at the history of the game.
