Did you spend hours every weekend in high school hovering over a board with funny little dice, monster "manuals", graph paper, & small metal figures of elves and dwarves? Did you ever dream of being a wizard and talking to dragons while you were riding the bus to band camp?? Come on, you don't have to lie to us! We've all been there. Now there's a film glorifying this sub-culture you and your nerdy friends were once persecuted for being a part of. We are honored to interview the Executive Producer and Director for Fellowship of the Dice! That's Friday, March 30th on the Hour Long Hour. Roll a 12-sided die and see if your constitution points are high enough for a glimpse into this action-packed mock-umentary about role-playing games and the thrill-seeking myopic heroes who dared pitting their souls against the dungeon master!

"Fellowship of the Dice," a comedy/mock-documentary about the eccentrics who play role playing games, or RPG's (alla "Dungeons & Dragons") is the story of Elizabeth, a former party girl who's had a run-in with the law and lost all of her friends. While out on a break from her job at a hot dog stand, she bumps into Sanford, an avid gamer who invites her to come play "Wizards, Warriors and Wyrms," a fantasy role playing game. With nothing better to do, she accepts his invitation. But little does she know what she's getting herself into...
Role-playing games have been around for almost 30 years and the hobby shows no sign of slowing down. "Fellowship" is an inside look at the enduring nature of table-top roleplaying and the, uh, unique personalities of those who play.
...and we're giving away stuff too!
