How it feels

This documentary traces the unexpected origins of Dungeons & Dragons back to a 19th century war game rulebook. It interviews the Twin Cities Gamers who were there at the creation of role-playing games. The film argues that D&D was not the start of the story but the culmination of a longer history.
