The Gamers movies and JourneyQuest series

[Tarlar]

Oh how I love these, I don't know about all of you?

The movie series The Gamers are about a tabletop group and both follows the players (less in the first movie) and the adventures of the roleplay group, which is hilarious. They make fun of all the typical things which often happens in those
I have a hard time saying which one is my favorite since they are different, but I think I'm leaning towards the number 2. The third one I wasn't so happy about until I saw the extended edition which included all the things I missed in the first cut (mainly that the other film focused on the group, while the third non-extended almost only focuses on one character, and the one I liked the least on top of that. The extended expands the stories of the other characters which is nice).

I really hope the fourth in the series will be a thing, it's in kickstarter now ^^

The Journey Quest series is a "classical" fantasy story but with so many twists. I think its hilarious! And so many characters who slowly gets introduced and their paths keeps criss-crossing in the most unexpected ways.
This one I will suggest to everyone.

To the ones who doesn't know about it, there is a trailer of course, although the quality makes it look cheaply produced, so I think their playlist with clips from the episodes which shows much better what this is all about XD

I remember these movies! Didn't realize the 4th was Kickstarting now, I'll keep a look out for when it releases!

I think I agree with you that the 2nd one was the best, but only because the 3rd one was such a departure from the series' D&D origins. I liked 3, but I was trying to get into L5R (rip, only got into it at the tail end of the game's lifetime) at the time, and it spoke to me in particular in a way that it probably didn't speak to many traditional tabletop RPGers. The intraparty dynamics in 2 were great. The side characters' plots in 3 I found to be all pretty hit or miss.

I have not seen JourneyQuest, does it follow the same characters as The Gamers? Or is it a different story altogether?

It has also been 20 years or so, isn't that what they say in the trailer?
I do hope they reach their goal, they are close but its a really huge amount they're asking for.

So you have seen the extended version of the third movie as well?

Journey Quest is a different story with different characters and world, where the others is jumping back and forth between the players and the characters, and they are clearly roleplaying, the series is "just" a fantasy series, no gamers behind it. Several of the actors from the films are in this one as well, but as different characters obviously.
The "female" sorcerer in the second movie, is the very incompetent wizard Perf here

I'd say its nothing like I have ever seen, and its really good!
