D&D Movie/TV New D&D movie details? Vecna?!

You could get away with a Faerunian Telepathic Ghostwise Halfling.

And I would have, too--if not for those meddling kids! :shakes fist:

 

[Parmandur]

Yep, and it might (a pessimistic probably will?) just happen again.

Tjis time I suspect something will happen, for good or bad, because of Paramount's investment in Hasbro.

What would be really scary, is the toenail of Vecna

"We'll also note that the new Dungeons & Dragons movie seems to be much more willing to incorporate lore from the source material, which was a major reason the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie flopped among D&D fans."

I've never heard that cited as a reason by anyone I know, but I guess?

 

[Dross]

Well, I figure to avoid any LotR's related movie delaying lawsuits, there isn't much chance that the movie will have a Halfling in it

Not too sure of this. They couldn't use hobbit but halfling should be okay legal wise. Thats why D&D changed from hobbits to halflings in the first place. Otherwise they could be sued for orcs, dwarf, elf, and maybe (silly as it seems) man.
I could easily imagine LotR fans but non-D&Ders voicing complaints though.

"The upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie will feature at least one character with ties to the Forgotten Realms... Vecna... "

WHAT?

That's just infuriating...

This kind of thing just makes us old Greyhawk geezers feel very... irked.

The Hand and Eye of Vecna are cosmic D&D items.

The Hand and Eye of Vecna are cosmic D&D items.

Yes, originating on Oerth, with Vecna.

It's just irksome to see the World of Greyhawk being continuously strip-mined for all its cool toys, while the rest of it is left to rot in abandonment.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh begs to differ.

Ghosts of Saltmarsh has the timeline all wrong, with the whole Scarlet Brotherhood and such.
