Things have been pretty quiet on the DG front for the past few months. That’s about to end. We’ve got a big announcement coming soon regarding a project that’s been brewing for the better part of a year. But we can’t talk about it yet. No, really, I can’t release any details. NO! I will NOT give in to peer pressure! I don’t care if everybody else is doing it! Alright, fine! You win! I give you a sneak peek of Top Secret DG Project – Codename: Spotted Eagle

**SPOILER**

**SPOILER**

Now keep it under your hat! If word gets out that I leaked this, there’s not telling what– Oh god, they’re at the door! How did they find me so fast?! I regret nothing!!

**—TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED—***

As promised, the new D&D podcast is out. Dave Noonan and Mike Mearl interview Don Early and Jen Page about our movie. The Grandmaster Slinger of Good Questions, Dave Noonan, armed with his handy Notepad of Questions +5, shot straight and true and our Dead Gents (well, more like Dead Gent and Lady) unveil perspectives not yet officially revealed until now.

We are proud of our sponsors, and at the top of that list is Wizards of the Coast for giving us permission to use their game in our movie. So instead of making up our own stuff, we can speak in terms you all will understand. No more GLE. Which stands for “Guile” by the way.

In this podcast, we also discuss the subject matter of the film that carries over into the filmmakers’ own lives (that’s us), gaming.

We’d like to thank Dave Noonan and Mike Mearl, and everyone else at Wizards of the Coast, for their support of our film. It’s a great honor for us to make it to the actual official webpage for D&D. Now, go listen to that podcast (also available via iTunes), and post your comments and questions on our forum.

They like us, they really like us. A big thanks to our friend Mike Stackpole, yes, of Star Wars Rogue Squadron fame! Thanks to that famous author we were able to get The Gamers: Dorkness Rising screened at the International Horror & SciFi Film Festival in Phoenix, AZ.

We got a fabulous response from a crowd that is primarily not gamers. The geek factor helped us out and to our joy, the film delivers the funny well to the non-gamer crowd. The folks over at Slice of SciFi snagged a podcast interview with our illustrious writer/director, Matt Vancil, and our more than fabulous Executive Producer, John Frank Rosenblum over at Epic Level Productions.

Stay tuned. Coming up, Wizards of the Coast will be featuring the beautiful Jen Page and the not as beautiful but definitely way more hairy Don Early, in their D&D podcast. For now, listen to their most recent podcast, with Dave Noonan and Mike Mearl chatting with bestselling author R.A. Salvatore.

It’s the holiday season folks, so don’t forget to pop on over to Paizo and order your copy of the brand-spanking new Director’s Cut of The Gamers, now complete with the family friendly version (without all the glorious filth). But we’ve also included the glorious filth version as well, not to mention Revamping Doyle and the first season of Dead Gentlemen Presents, now with never before on DVD sketches!

Don’t forget to pick up replacement copies of our other films to replenish the ones you lent to people who won’t give them back! It keeps us in business so we can keep bringing you the funny.

In other news, click on Nathan Rice’s face off to the right, yeah, right up there, and see the latest Dorkness Rising update.

And remember, be nice, or Santa will drown and freeze you at the same time. Happy Holidays!

To our absolute amazement, news of our film got through The Mists into freakin’ Barovia! Ravenloft’s own Count Strahd Von Zarovich presents world famous Dragonlance author, Tracy Hickman, who reviews our movie. We regret the implication of this, that Mr. Hickman, and possibly Laura and the rest of the Hickman family, may have been taken by The Mists. We will miss you.

Listen to the Podcast

For more information on Count Strahd and Ravenloft, visit Wizard’s DnD site. You used to be able to find Tracy & Laura Hickman at DragonHearth Productions, but now, apparently Strahd’s got them. Maybe check back at Dragonhearth and see what news of the Hickmans there be!

This Election Day, the Dead Gentlemen would like to cast their support firmly behind Our Candidate.

Remember, if you vote for Our Opponent, the Terrorist Ninjas win!

But seriously, go vote, there’s still time!

And you finally get an update!

Gen Con Indy 2006 was quite the big event for the Dead Gentlemen. We premiered The Gamers: Dorkness Rising to sold out crowds, forcing the Gen Con staff to squeeze in 3 extra screenings! But I’ll let Don tell you all about that in the latest edition of On the Road with the Dead Gentlemen.

In other news…

In addition to the usual screenings of The Gamers (no set time, but probably Friday or Saturday night at 11:30, so keep an eye on the schedule), this year we’ve got something special. Something REALLY special. This year, finally, you can attend the Gen Con Exclusive premiere of our new film The Gamers: Dorkness Rising! That’s right folks, after waiting patiently (ha!) for so long, you’ve finally got your chance to see our latest film…if you happen to be in Indiana anyway.

So when, you ask, can you see the movie? Good question! There will be two screenings of the film at Gen Con. Both will take place in the Westin Hotel, attached to the convention center.

As you can see, there isn’t much space in the screenings, so you’ll want to make sure you get there plenty early. Especially since about half the seats will be taken up by the following DG guests!:

So remember, August 10-13! The Gamers: Dorkness Rising! We’ll see you at Gen Con!

It’s that time of year again folks… Convention Season has started. We kick off our summer conventions on June 29th, 2006 at Origins International Game Expo in Columbus, Ohio. There, you will get to meet our very own miracle man, Ben Dobyns.

Ben directed and produced our first film “Demon Hunters”, as well as edited pretty much everything we’ve done up to Dorkness Rising. You can find him at the Paizo booth. And be sure to make him sign a body part with a sharpee! Incidentally, Ben will also be packing his lovely wife up and moving her back to the Pacific Northwest directly after the convention. The question is, what size of suitcase does she fit in?

Get your chance to talk to Ben about the new movie, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, which will be screening later on in the summer at Gen Con Indy.

Oh and the one question we can save Ben the trouble of answering:

Q: When can I buy the Gamers: Dorkness Rising?
A: Not at any of the conventions this summer, and not at Gen Con Indy. The movie must be finished with all editing and everything before we can start shopping it to distributors, which we will do as soon as it’s done.

Q: Well when the freak is that gonna be? We’ve only been waiting like 2 years!!!
A: We’re screening it at Gen Con Indy in August, so we at least know it will be done before then. So there! The up side is, now we know what we’re doing, and it won’t take this long to do next time. Ah, the learning curve. The more you know!
