The Gamers is a 2002 film written and directed by Matt Vancil and produced by independent movie company Dead Gentlemen Productions.

The movie flips between following a group of gamers in a dorm immersed in a role-playing game, and their characters (played by the same actors) as they journey through a world of fantasy and wonder to defeat a being known as "The Shadow" and rescue a princess.

The latter is theoretically a heroic quest, but while the game master attempts to foster in a narrative, the players tend to be more interested in their characters' tolerance for ale, trying to apply the sneak attack damage multiplier to siege weaponry, et cetera.

A sequel, The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, was set to be released in 2006, but was delayed due to problems finding a distributor.

In 2013, Zombie Orpheus Entertainment in cooperation with Dead Gentlemen Productions and Lynnvander Inc produced two miniseries, Natural One and Humans & Households, set in the Gamers universe.

It was intended to lead directly into the events of the next movie in the series and would chronicle exploits of the protagonists' characters who are now lost in the modern world.
