Gary Gygax was a high school dropout who cobbled shoes in the basement of his Midwestern home. His family of seven was on food stamps and barely making ends meet when he created a phenomenon that took the world by storm.
See Gary's epic story as he rises from poverty to unbelievable wealth, and ultimately must fight to keep the kingdom that his imagination built.
A film like this would not be possible within the mainstream system - it was created by gamers, for gamers. By supporting our film, you are helping to preserve and celebrate the history of roleplaying games, and to remember the brilliant people who brought them into being.
Blu-Rays and DVDs of the film are also available now! Bonus features include a "making of" featurette and full-length director's commentary. Orders are sent out within 24 hours of being placed and arrive promptly via priority mail.
As bad as the big platforms treat actors and writers, they are twice as bad to independent filmmakers. We want to create exciting material for RPG aficionados, and the only way we can do that is to bring it directly to the gaming community.
For now, the site serves primarily as the streaming home of our film The Dreams in Gary's Basement, but we have other films and bonus footage in the works that we plan to stream on the site as well. Eventually, we'd like to have a whole channel of RPG history movies and shorts.
The Uscreen platform on which this site is built has been around for eight years, and many consider it to be the best OTT streaming platform in the world for independent creators. Uscreen uses the same "Akamai" technology as YouTube and Netflix to optimize the streaming experience, and Uscreen takes security very seriously. Payments are processed using Stripe, and we (the channel creators) never see your payment information.
