'Dungeon Masters' Poster Has Massive Hit Points

DateWednesday, April 1, 2009 at 4:43AM
Here's one of the cooler movie posters you'll see all year, and it's for a movie that most people probably won't see. That's not because the movie's no good, but because it's a documentary (which means limited release) and it's about Dungeons & Dragons (no further explanation needed).

The movie is called The Dungeon Masters, and it played last September at the Toronto International Film Festival and was part of SXSW last month, where it picked up the award for best poster design. That really shouldn't be a surprise.

So what's it about? Gamers, three of them in fact, who are followed by director Keven McAlester through their day-to-day lives and their gaming lives. That's the conflict: How does your real life not live up to the one you've created through multiple dice rolls.

Get a load of the poster, courtesy of IMP:

There's no release date yet for The Dungeon Masters, although the SXSW win - even for a cosmetic award - can't hurt its chances.
