Lord of the Games

The d20 conspiracy is true!

The proof.

(A great two-part spoof, but big downloads at about 45MB each, produced by Fantaasy Flight Games and exclusive through d20 MR).

This is very funny.

I laughed my tail off after watching it (FFG was kind enough to send me a CD in the mail last week). Obviously they have too much time on their hands.

Although, I'm not sure what's scarier, Wil being blonde (hides the gray hair) or Brian's lines, which are exactly what you normally hear from the Sales department of a company...

I just watched this myself, and my GOD it was funny.

Ok, not trying to offend the people in the movie, but the "new guy" apprentice? Was that a man or a woman?? I thought it was a woman but then they called "her" 'Eric' and 'New Guy'...

I'm afraid that was a little bit of an in-joke. Eric Lang, a game designer at FFG, co-wrote the movie but had to be out of the country during filming. So, we had to get a stand-in, and since it was for a fight scene, Wood got one of his kung fu buddies to stand in for Eric. Eric can be seen in the movie's intro walking in to the Source and waving at the person behind the counter.

During the film Lani was made to do all sorts of weird Eric mannerisms, from sniffing cards and board game pieces to that look she gives me when I catch her in my office.

Yeah, that was a bit of inside office humor. That was a woman. Eric is a company employee who was out of the country when we filmed, so we had to get someone to play his role, and I thought it would be funny to have a woman play him. We then coached her at length in Eric's mannerisms, so it's just like having Eric on screen.

Kudos to Wood on this wonderful project!! It turned out better than I thought it would, I didn't know there was so much creativity underneath.
Wil isn't hiding grey, he is trying to fill the buff blonde stereotype. ... then again maybe he IS hiding grey.

BTW, We wouldn't a CD version of the mini-movie. I would even pay a little for it too.
IMO it should be nominated for some sort of award!
