The Dungeon Masters

The Dungeon Masters (hulu)
Against the backdrop of crumbling middle-class America, The Dungeon Masters highlights two men and one woman who devote their lives to Dungeons and Dragons, the storied role-playing game, re-imagining the tropes of classic heroic cinema, creating an intimate portrait of minor struggles and triumphs writ large.

Sadly, I think it's just another negatively-skewed point-of-view about D&D players and DMs. I've been playing D&D since 1980; 33 years total. I've played all over America, with people from all over America. I've played in other countries, with people from other countries. NEVER have I ever seen, heard of, or met the 'type' of people portrayed in this documentary. Not denying people like this exist in our D&D world, just that there are many other people who also exist in this world, and they should be given equal attention.
