I doubt they will resist if the movie did good.ããYep. And I'm OK with it, as long as it's of similar quality. They did not tell it in the movie obviously but this was a Forgotten Realms movie. I liked a lot of references to Icewind Dale (prison), Harpers, Neverwinter, Red Mages, The Underdark, etc.ããMany things surprisingly accurate to the setting. This can be easily continued with different story, heroes and part of Fearun.ããI'd love to see a proper Dragon Lance movie, Planescape movie would be abstract and Gaiman-influenced... lot of ideas of great follow-up that is totally less prone to be repetitive than Marvel.. Of course we'd be equally bored if they hit double digit number of movies, but I don't mind move D&D movies that are unique and loosely connected with fantasy world adventuring within broad boundaries of D&D ecosystem.ãã-h1ãã...

It tanked in office. Heroic fantasy moviesãdon't sell that well, with some exceptions.ããTry to publish fantasy novels and you will find that every publisher wantsãurban fantasy, or grimdark, but never high fantasy or anything heroic.ããThat said, one of the things I loved form the D&D movie is a hidden love letterto RPG nerds that will get lost in the big audience: they captured perfectlyãthe actual thrill of being an RPG player.ããWhat I mean with this is that when the characters sat together to build a plan,brainstorming stupid shit, then agreed to try something, and that somethingãfailed misserably because of an unknown factor... it was so, so so so much likewatching actual RPG players mess up around the gaming table.ãã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
