D&D Movie/TV Here's The D&D Movie Trailer!

"Who needs heroes when you have thieves?" The movie arrives March 3rd, 2023. Here's the trailer! When they said it was inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy, they weren't kidding! We have dragons, owlbears, mimics, gelatinous cubes, quips, and more!



There was also a clip shown at San Diego Comic Con where the party cast speak with dead, and got to ask five questions. Also, apparently, the D&D cartoon characters from the 80s have a cameo!

Looks better than the new LotR series coming out next month(ish).

I would definitely rather have a series like this than the over-serious but ridiculous-looking LotR one that is on the way.

Or just have this lot party crash.

I want them BOTH and MORE, gimme gimme gimme

I thought people were more into “role playing” now instead of “roll playing”.

For a lot of us, "class" is a mechanical tool for building characters, nothing more. Class as a concept doesn't even exist within the fiction of the majority of my game worlds. No one is a "wizard" or a "fighter" or a "cleric".

Mostly the part about how more children will be excited to play D&D. For any reason.

Let's say that I'm watching this movie with my nieces and nephews. "Woah, that was so cool!" the oldest gushes, walking back to the car. "Uncle Nick, can I play a druid that can turn into giant monsters like that?!"

Well, the way I see it, I have a couple of responses.

Response 1: "Sorry kiddo, but that's against the rules. Here, let me show you what the rules allow."

Response 2: "A druid that can transform into monsters? That sounds awesome, let's make it happen!"

I know what my response is gonna be.

Seems likely the next MM will make owlbears beasts rather than monstrosities (or change wildshape so it doesn't use monster stat blocks in the first place)

If nothing else, I think we can guarantee druids will be able to shift into owlbears in the 2024 revision.

Or the movie doesn’t trabslate exactly to the rules of the game…

They're in Waterdeep. Doesn't Waterdeep have statues which can animate?

That's Neverwinter, not Waterdeep.

Edit: The cityscape we see twice doesn't quite match Neverwinter, either. But it's much closer than Waterdeep, which, for one thing, doesn't have a river running through it.

They are honestly the least monstrous monstrosity, never liked them in that category anyway. I welcome that change if they do, movie aside

Trailer features both dungeons and dragons, so this is 100% a Dungeons & Dragons movie.
