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!

Hey! Anyone see any Drow? Or Dragonborn?

Sure, but that still doesn’t explain why the river—which, decades after the disaster, is still shown on several recent maps (and in the still-active MMO) as flowing to the south of Castle Never—suddenly has started flowing to the castle’s north instead.

Because moving a castle or redirecting a river was a bit outside of the budget. (I'm not sure how much those citscapes are CGI'd, but I imagine the river couldn't be)

The black dragon's acid was very underwhelming. I never realized it woukd look like it was puking! Lol

Seems right to me. Where’d the acid come from if not the dragon’s stomach?

And, while I do see this as feeling a lot like marvel... it isn't marvel.

This was the only bit that screamed Marvel to me:

And to be honest, when I'm playing a melee warrior-type PC, I love doing this sort of "leap onto the giant monster" maneuver.

Maybe ... but then the movie poster silhouettes make her look as tall as the guys:

She just further in the foreground

Hey! Anyone see any Drow? Or Dragonborn?

Not that I've noticed.

I suspect this is probably meant to be Gracklstugh, but it might be a drow city instead (or some place like Mantol Derith):

Do you remember the stupid double bladed sword they added to the equipment list for 3rd edition? The double bladed sword that was only there because a certain Darth Maul wielded a double bladed lightsaber in The Phantom Menace? What are the odds that druids don't get the ability to shift into an owlbear form in the near future? I think we're going to see this in the game at some point in the future.

Based on recent designs, I would expect in the future that Wikdshape will just provide a generic block and say "make it look however you feel like."

Some fun attention to detail here. The female Red Wizard in the movie has a similar forehead tattoo to a female Red Wizard from Dead in Thay.

Also, it's at nearly 2.5 million views in just a few hours. That's a very impressive and encouraging.

OK, I posted that just 2 hours ago. Now it's #1 trending on YouTube, and is closing in on 4 million views. I think we've got some legs here...

Let's be honest here. There couldn't possibly be a better time for a D&D movie to hit the theaters. The stars and the moons have all aligned perfectly here. Massive growth in D&D, huge interest all over the place, more people playing than ever before.

So long as this movie isn't crap, we're going to see a pretty solid hit on our hands and quite likely a series.
