DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES: Hey folks? This is exceptional. A drum-tight script brought to life by a cast of games. Hilarious without feeling embarrassed by the material. I fell in love early and it never faltered.

DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES is a hoot. I was never able to recap the plot on the fly, but it wholeheartedly embraces its weird fantasy/comedy tone. Keep in mind that I’ve never played D&D in my life, but I still had a great time. #SXSW pic.twitter.com/vzc4qwJBUF
