The Gamers: Dorkness Rising is a feature length film from Dead Gentlemen Productions. While the film is set in the same universe as and has a similar theme to its predecessor, The Gamers, it is not a sequel in the strictest sense as it focuses on a different group of players. It began filming in 2005 and was set for release in 2006, but as of 2008, it has yet to be released to the public. It has however been shown at a handful of conventions and other public gatherings. The Dead Gentlemen Production company have just signed with a distributor and are currently awaiting the press release to announce any further details, all further updates can be seen in the forums at their site.

[edit] Plot outline

All Lodge wants is for his gaming group to finish their adventure. Unfortunately, they’re more interested in seducing barmaids, mooning their enemies, and setting random villagers on fire. Desperate to rein in his players, Lodge injects two newbies into the distrust: a non-player character controlled by Lodge, who the power gamers immediately distrust, and the rarest gamer of all — a girl. Can the group overcome their bickering to save the kingdom, or will the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon triumph unopposed? A parody of fantasy films and the adventure gaming community, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising is a hilarious romp through the world of sword and sorcery — in this case, a world of exploding peasants, giant house cats, and undead roast turkeys. Game on!
