    Excellent Interviews & History Lesson

    The documentary is a must see if you are a Gamer or if you consider yourself "religious". The Team unpacks the issues behind the "Satanic Panic" of the 80s, with regard to Dungeons & Dragons, and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. My only concern is that the team seemed to not do any serious interviews with anti-RPG playing theologians and Pastors, and their take on imagination in todays context. But that was not the focus of the documentary, but history and what may become repeated history was.
