Check out the prologue, I thought it was quite hilarious but my wife was kinda 'meh' about it.

The premise is about a set of professional Gamers who play AD&D for a living. OK its not AD&D its "Goblins and Gold" etc.

Wow, sad day for gamers. Gargy Gygax passed away.

He was Dungeons and Dragons daddy and spawned such classics as Tomb of Horrors and Expedition to the Barrier Peaks and of course Temple of Elemental Evil...

Here is a link to GameSpy's 30th anniversary ad&d retrospective including interviews with Gygax and lots of history.
