Film Festival on March 10, no matter whether or not they’d played the 50-year old role playing game that shares its title.

In her introduction, Claudette Godfrey, director of the film festival, said she loved the movie because it was accessible to people like her who had never played the game. Then Goldstein asked how many in the audience had played D&D before, and the room erupted in cheers. When asked who among the cast had the most D&D experience, Page and Lillis kept pointing at each other, until Rodriguez broke in.

An audience member asked what kind of character the cast and filmmakers would want to play as in an actual D&D game, or if they’d rather be the Dungeon Master , who designs and runs the game. “I love being a bard so much,” Pine said, referencing his character. “No preparation. Lots of smiling.”

Chris Pine trades in his balls for a handbag in this horrific show.

LOL, it will be another massive woke fail. Writers admitting to enjoying emasculating men and finding that funny. Such a waste of a good title. Need some proper men making these movies. Oh well, enjoy the failure.

regejean I love the diversity. The life and the stories behind the characters.
