YMMV / The Dungeon Masters

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Richard revealing fairly early on in the documentary that he attends nudist gatherings. While many aspects of the three subjects' backgrounds and their interests outside of D&D come up throughout the film (much more time is spent on Scott's literary aspirations than his gaming hobby, for example), Richard being a nudist is never mentioned again.
• Faux Symbolism: In one sequence, the director seems to be trying to draw a parallel between Richard's half-hearted attempts to purge his collection of old game books and his unsuccessful efforts to trim the hedges in his back yard.
• Unintentional Period Piece: The entire approach of the documentary may leave it feeling like one to modern (2020’s) audiences. The thesis of the film seems to be “Only very unusual people get into Dungeons & Dragons, so let’s find out more about these unusual people.” With tabletop role-playing games becoming vastly more mainstream in the decade which followed the documentary’s release and large audiences now watching games played by celebrities, the portrayal of RPG’s as a fringe hobby for nerds may now come off dated, if not insultingly stereotyped.
