I wanted to put that out front.<\/p>\n<p>Eye of the Beholder is a lovingly crafted documentary about the artwork of Dungeons and Dragons, and it&#8217;s a neat look into the artists who created those cool things, including interviews with dozens of D&amp;D creators, including\u00a0Larry Elmore, Clyde Caldwell, Brom, Tony DiTerlizzi, Margaret Weiss, and bunches more.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is a major nostalgia trip for me, as it appeared to be for some of the interviewees. My first thought was how I could crack open some of the books, and the dragons and paladins and chain mail would inspire game and story ideas.<\/p>\n<p>I have to offer up major points for including the infamous Beholder in the title of the movie. Everybody who&#8217;s opened a D&amp;D book or rolled weirdly-shaped dice knows the super-weird creature that never existed in mythology until it appeared in a D&amp;D module.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever had your favorite barbarian character killed by one, raise your hand. Just me?<\/p>\n<p>The movie also digs into the genre of fantasy artwork, and the influences that D&amp;D artists have on everything since then.<\/p>\n<p><em>Eye of the Beholder<\/em> a tribute to incredible talents and at the same time, a syrupy love story about role-playing games.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the movie on the socials at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eyeofthebeholdermovie\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/eyeofthebeholdermovie\/<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/eye_movie\">http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/eye_movie<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the trailer right here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: The Art of Dungeons &amp; Dragons - Trailer 2\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/238779137?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/useless-humans-feature-film-post-fundraising#\/\">Bonus Movie Probe!
