Zero Charisma is an upcoming movie about a bunch of D&D-playing friends who recruit a new player to their game. A man who cares about his jeans and brings beer.
As our sister site io9 points out, the portrayal of “nerds” in the movie may not be that flattering. The existing players are your tired assortment of dork stereotypes; virgins living at home, heavy metal fans, socially challenged, aghast at the notion of someone drinking during a game (when I can’t remember the last time I didn’t see a D&D game where everyone was drinking/stoned/both).
But hey, it’s a movie, not a documentary. They at least got a World of Warcraft eye-roll right. And considering it was funded not by Hollywood but by an Indiegogo campaign, it’s looking OK!
