[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7536302, member: 6716779"] I'm well aware of that but thoe studios (game/m,ovies) won't be funding a D&D game to the extent they would do their own IPs. For Example Wicher III was an $80 million dollar game, Assassins Creed Unity or Syndicate was 100+ million, GTAV was 200+ million. Yes you will get someone paying a license fee but in movie terms you are going to have a low budget D&D movie and since D&D would kind of need good special effects and a big budget that is a problem. So at best you will get a low budget or mid priced budget game or movie hat if it had a super strong story and resonated with a lot of people could blow up. But since D&D by itself doesn't have that in of built in story a movie would really be about some D&D tropes in a generic fantasy movies. For example Game of Thrones, GRR Martin wrote that story makes an adaption easier and the price of a season of GoT is probably bigger than a D&D movie budget and GoT is reasonably cheap compared to a big budget movie which is hundreds of millions of dollars. This is basic economics facing the reality of D&D game or movie now. Unlike other licensed IPs like Harry Potter or GoT you dont have a story to build off and the fanbase isn't enough. [/QUOTE]
