After months of adventuring, a brave party returns from seeing Honor Among Thieves to discuss the film - but with a twist, as their own dungeon adventure is captured here: classes show off their skills, D20s are rolled and one party member reveals his willingness to sell his soul for early access and swag, all on the way to defeating the most-heinous of all villains in the realms of storytelling (in the Dungeon Master's opinion at least).
On their way to victory, they also discuss story that has heart, a potentially-successful application of current gender politics and their collective delight at finding a good fantasy film among the wilderness of today's offerings - oh, and a film adaptation of a game that actually works...? Madness!
