[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7538774, member: 37579"] I'm not sure what route they'll take for the movie. Basing it on a novel might be fun, as it gives another product to sell, but most D&D novels are pretty terrible. And you really want something stand alone in the likely event the film fails. And something simple, where they can take liberties with the characters and plot elements. [B]Pool of Radiance[/B] might work: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pool_of_Radiance#Novelization[/url] Or [I]Azure Bonds[/I]: [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azure_Bonds[/url] Or it could just adapt something modern like [I]Tyranny of Dragons[/I]. That story was designed that way for a reason. Dragons are big and iconic and ending with a fight against a dragon god is pretty epic. And being able to direct people to that product as a starting place is desirable for WotC. Still, this is a more than two years away. And the project has already changed directors a couple times. There's pretty good odds it could still fail. [/QUOTE]
