Some of you may know that I am a big fan of live theatre, and I have
long wanted to see some sort of mature and realistic treatment of
roleplayers in the arts. Recently, a fellow named Alfred posted on
the Escapist's Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/rpgadvocate)
about a play called Of Dice and Men that is looking for funding:

"The world of six thirty-something Dungeons and Dragons players is
thrown into disarray when one of them announces he has enlisted in the
Marine Reserves, and will soon be deployed Iraq. In this blisteringly
funny and deeply affecting play, playwright Cameron McNary examines
why we game, what it means to grow up, and what true friendship looks
like."

The playwright's story on his inspiration for writing the play is
worth reading. You can read more about the play, and possibly make a
pledge to help make it happen, on its Kickstarter page -

While I'm on the subject of fan-funded art, my good friend (and author
of God Loves the Freaks - http://www.godlovesthefreaks.com) Steve
Racer is producing a unique film titled Broken Spirits that will
feature live-action performances by several anime voice talents:

"Broken Spirits is a sci-fi/action independent feature film about four
young people who are pulled into an alternate dimension within our
world and must fight their way back.

Many of the cast are American actors – including Vic Mignogna, Richard
Epcar, Spike Spencer, and Cristina Vee – widely recognized for their
roles in high profile Japanese animation films and series such as Full
Metal Alchemist, Ghost in the Shell, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. We
expect strong interest in marketing the film in the US and abroad.

Andy McPhee from Sons of Anarchy has recently joined the cast.
