1 ## random.movie.recommendation 2 Knights of Badassdom ([TMDB](https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/74461-knights-of-badassdom)) is a comedy fantasy adventure set in the world of Live Action Role-Playing (LARPing). 3 4 Starring Ryan Kwanten (Joe), Steve Zahn (Eric), and Peter Dinklage (Hung) as well as an amazing support cast including Summer Glau and Jimmi Simpson. 5 6 #### synopsis 7 > Three best friends and dedicated roleplayers take to the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons-like scenario as a live action role-playing game. Trouble arises when a prop spellbook purchased from the internet ends up being a genuine grimoire and they unwittingly conjure up a blood-lusting succubus from hell. 8 9 --- 10 11 KoB is a fun movie and while I have never LARP'd I play D&D enough to get the characters' motivations. It is well paced, the humour is dry and enjoyable throughout, and everything is backed by a pretty decent soundtrack from Bear McCreary (Black Sails, Battlestar Galactica). 12 13 (but nobody mentions the frightfully large bodycount)
