Monster camp is a documentary, a film that captured the thoughts and ideas of a growing group of game players engaged in fantasy live action role-playing through characters of their own devising. The Dungeon and Dragon denizens have moved from isolated keyboards and screens to open fields and outdoor parks. Be a hero or villian, a PC or Monster, simply be who you wish to be. While the film highlights real people engaged in fantasy fun, I missed the point. Was it selling the value of fantasy life action play or was it to humanize the computer-phile? Not sure. However, what was presented was pleasantly paced, good videography with interesting up close personal insights that provided some understanding into the mind of a gamer. Monster Camp may not be a 10, but it was entertaining.
