I got my email on this, but so far I have not been able to access the movie online. I go to the site and enter the VIP access code, but the Submit button is not active for me. |

OK, I finally got the access code to work and then was able to watch it on my Roku TV. For me the very best part was the bonus footage at the end during the rolling of the credits. I also really loved seeing all the people who where there and saw it all first hand.
People can argue about when role playing started, but it is right there in the movie when David Wesely talks about briefing all the players individually and what David Arneson did in the Banania Braunstein Game. That is the start of role playing and David Wesely did his part by saying "Yes" to David Arneson. That was the true birth of role playing and the film shows what led us to that moment in time and then how it developed from there.
I hope that everyone gets to see this and I highly encourage you to either buy it on DVD or rent it on Vimeo and then buy it on DVD. I am ready now for the second movie that follows this one.
This should put to death the lie that all the mainstream "old school" forums push that "murder hobo gaming" is the original form of play. it should also put to death the lie that one particular forum pushes, that Gygax did it all and Arneson is deserving of no credit at all.
I would disagree with them that you have to be shown how to run a role playing game. No one showed my group bitd, we figured it out from the three little brown books in the box. I started playing in 1975 and we always knew that Arneson was the creator of D&D and that Gygax wrote it down. We also knew that the statement where Gygax tries to imply that Arneson created D&D from CHAINMAIL was not true. We had copies of both and it is obvious to anyone that looks at both, that what Gygax tries to imply is simply not true, nor even possible.
So great to see this movie out and btw you should change the thread title so it will get looked at more.
