I need feedback for this logline

Hi everybody, I have written a comedy script wich parodies the genre of "epic epicness " some examples are books, movies and games like Game of thrones, Lord of the rings, Dungeons an dragons and other titles. The logline is the following : ¿What if our reality were just the setting of a role-playing game? What do you think about it?

Dave McCrea

Spoofing that genre is a hot idea. But that's not a logline. A logline is a description of the premise of the movie. A summary of what happens. For example the logline for Taken is not "Sex slaves. International intrigue. An aging bad-ass who's still got it." Tell us what the mission is and tells us what the dangers are and be specific. And forget the unexpected ending, leave that out.

ok, thank you! I´ll work on it

What do you think of it now Dave McCrea ?

Thanks for your interest! I have a big problem with this logline... this is one of these scripts that only makes sense when you see the end. So, I don´t know how to write the logline without spoil anything.

I don't think this is a log line- it's more of a tagline. Others have said it before, I'm just confirming it. If you have a challenging content and can't make a log line out of it, perhaps you should reconsider the content and the structure. Try telling your story in 6 words, etc...
