Secrets of Blackmoor: The True History of Dungeons & Dragons (2019)
Compelling Documentary of the evolution of role playing games.
I have to be honest, I viewed the unedited version at Gary Con XI 2019. I just received the kick-starter edited version in the mail. A very professional product, the high definition color video is superb, the sound is excellent, and the captions a complimentary addition. The story flows smoothly and is easy to follow. The subject matter is thoroughly researched and very well substantiated, given the restriction, decay and degradation of such historical subject matter, no fault of the author. It was a well chronicled documentary of Arneson's participation in, if not the foundation of, the role playing game phenomena. A compelling argument has been made for Arneson's significant role, for sure. Overall an excellent and professionally produced documentary of Arneson's critical role in the evolution of role playing games. An excellent addition to any collectors set of historical gaming documentaries. I recommend it highly.
