Roman Taxi
Rome, to hear it told, was a pretty busy place, what with being the center of western civilization and all. People had loci to go, populus to see, and res to do. That’s where the players of Roman Taxi come in. They’re not the movers and shakers, they’re the ones who get the upper crust to wherever they need to be to do their moving and shaking. They’re Roman chariot taxi drivers. -

The Best 45 Minute Movies Ever Made: Star Wars Episode 1 : The Phantom Menace
Perhaps Lucas is too close to the action to realize what poetry he has in his own movie, but with Park moving like a ballerina as he beats the stew out of Neeson and McGregor, it’s high time someone told him the personal message of the Star Wars saga has always outweighed the flash and sizzle. -
Movies for Gamers Who Like Movies: Mazes & Monsters
I distinctly remember this movie from when it came out because it meshed so nicely with the anti D&D right-wing fundamentalism movement of the time. Despite the furor about the dangers of D&D it turned out that the real danger wasn’t kids playing games, but religious extremism. Irony, you are a complete bastard. -
Descent
As the title might suggest, Descent doesn't have you fighting foes in starships or sylvan glades. You're going down into the bowels of the Earth and you're not coming back until you or your formidable enemies go down. -
Game Review: Betrayal at House on the Hill
You start out as a single party, each player using his own character to comb through the old mansion in search of equipment and clues that will help you beat the haunted home in which you find yourselves trapped. Somewhere along the way, though, the evil that dwells here is going to reach a critical mass, and when it does it will pervert one of the hunters. -

Movies for Gamers Who Like Movies: Dungeons & Dragons – the Movie
If you’re like me – and if you’re reading this there’s like a 75% chance you ARE me – then when you heard about a D&D movie coming out you probably wondered which property of TSR would provide the setting. Would it be a movie set in the World of Greyhawk, Blackmoor, or the Forgotten Realms? Would it have the characters from the Dragonlance series? Or feature the grim dark-elf Drizzt Do’Urden? Or would they be doing a live-action version of the eponymous cartoon series? -
Movies for Gamers Who Like Movies: Hawk the Slayer
Title: Hawk the Slayer Directed by: Terry Marcel Genre: Sword & Sorcery I read (and until recently subscribed to) “Knights of the Dinner Table” gaming magazine. It was there that I first heard of this film. I’d never seen it before or heard of it. Yet when I asked my friends they almost universally said […]
