Exciting News! After being announced four years ago (has it really been that long?), “The Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising” finally has a release date. It will release August 14th at Gencon Indy. What makes this extra exciting (for me, anyway) is that I’ll be at Gencon this year to promote a Board Game that will be released at the con. A handy coincidence, if there ever were one. (Read: I’ll be watching the film that Thursday night from my hotel room)

The first Gamers movie was a surprisingly funny low-budget look into the world of gaming. Some of the jokes may have fallen flat, but overall it was a fairly true-to-life look at the overall fun and silliness that hardcore geektastic gamers have. If you haven’t seen it, it’s definitely worth picking up and watching (or you can watch it, in it’s entirety, on Youtube. If you’re broke. Or a cheapass). The second film looks to up the ante with an actual budget, higher production values, and (gasp!) what appears to be a real plot. It’s sad, but it looks like it could be better than the two Official live-action D&D films that have been released. But don’t take my word for it, check out the trailer below.

Gamers 2: Dorkness Rising will be available at Gencon, at Paizo, and a surprising number of a bigger box retail stores. MSRP: $19.95
