[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 7581635, member: 6802378"] An option would be a (action+) gothic horror story in Ravenloft for a public who needs to know nothing about the demiplane of the dread. Also it is a good place for supernatural romance, but now this is a old-fashion genre, isn't it? * For an action-live movie they would need a really good story. I guess the best option would the best-seller books, Dragonlance and FR. Red Steel/Savage Coast is perfect for a "Pirates of the Caribbean Sea" but the key is a good story and charismatic characters. Birthright is perfect for a "Game of Thrones" but it would need a masterwork as script. And a idea could be about explaining what killing the evil lord is easier than after ruling the kingdom as a good leader and not as a toxic boss. It is curious. Jakandor is perfect because they are only humans. Maybe it only needs a good story as "Romeo and Juliet". * To try and test my suggestion is cartoon and CGI series. Spelljammer is perfect to sell toys of action-figures and vehicles. And I would add the "scarlet sphere", the closest one to the crimson sphere of Athas (Dark Sun), where some refugees escaped from the genocide cleansing wars. Kara-tur is perfect for a manganime serie. Maybe WotC onlys needs to publish a SRD with oriental races and classes (ninja, sohei, samurai, martial adepts) and third parties would publish their own manganime setting. * Other idea is a RPG liveplay show as Critical Role but a videogame engine. Public would listen actors' voices and would watch the characters as an asymmetric e-sport.
