The article doesn’t say anything more, unfortunately, other than describing what D&D is — “Affectionately referred to by fans as D&D, the game is known for its wars, treasure hunts, campaigns, camaraderie, and reversals of fortune, all in a setting that combines humans, elves, orcs and hundreds of other creatures. The game famously uses multisided dice in gameplay to further the imaginary story and is overseen by a host known as the Dungeon Master.”

Famous for “Reversal of Fortune”... Whaaaaaaat?

Theres only one way players tolerate their fortunes going... and that up!

Nice. I think a series is a much better fit for D&D than a movie.

D&D TV Series >> Movie

Interesting, we'll have to see if anything actually comes of this. I think a TV series if done right would be a better fit than a movie, especially if they show character growth. Special effects have also gotten to the point where a live action TV show is more reasonable.

Well yeah they’re making a Lord of the Rings TV show as we speak. Though D&D would need a lot more CGI!

I know they'll never make it Dark Sun, but can you imagine a John-Wick style DnD in the world of Dark Sun?

Please make it Dark Sun.

With the movie also coming, I wonder if they're aiming for something like a shared multiverse, or would each be stand alone?

The quest will start by epic revenge over a dog

D&D is ripe for shared multiverse like DCEU is doing IMO. Which is standalones with no mixed continuity if you don't want to.
