Mazes and Monsters (1982) - directed by Steven Hilliard Stern, based on the book by Rona Jaffe, which is based on a real world suicide case. Is it true that tabletop RPGs will make you suicidal? Can a made for TV movie be any good? Will the lead of this movie, Tom Hanks, ever go on to do anything else? Why did people freak out so much about tabletop RPGs? Can somebody take a pill to stop them from burping? What is a Gorvil? Audio and Literature References: BardicBroadcasts.
