Finding yourself in that limbo moment between Christmas and New Year? Gaming buddies gone back to work? Already burned through the new Stranger Things episodes? Fresh coat of paint drying on those new figures?

Can we recommend Unmodified: Real People, Fantastic Worlds by Panhandle PBS? This documentary illustrates the use of tabletop and miniature gaming as a vehicle for people to explore their own creativity.

In roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, players thoughtfully and carefully create their own characters and then collaborate to tell stories of grand adventures. Similarly, wargamers create massive forces to use in narrative campaigns to battle it out in games like Warhammer, Infinity and One Page Rules. Miniatures and models across various game genres also provide painters with the ultimate outlet for creativity and customisation.

Featuring voices from across the Texas Panhandle, Unmodified highlights not only the imagination behind these games, but the strong communities formed around them.
