D&D Movie/TV D&D Cinematic Universe. What would it be like? What do you want to see?

[Oofta]

I'd like to see an animated series similar to the clone wars. Over multiple episodes show the PCs leveling up, facing greater dangers and so on.

Setting wise? There's so many options, but I'd probably want anything but FR. Maybe take advantage of animation and do something crazier like Spelljammer or Planescape. Or go old school and do Greyhawk.

I'd love to see an anthology series. Something between Metal Hurlant and Love and Robots. Maybe Dark Sun?

Under A Dark Sun?
Echoes from the Forgotten Realms?
Tales From the Yawning Portal?

Love it! You could even have doomed parties trying to accomplish some goal. Then, have a movie where the characters reference it. "Didnt those guys get wiped out?"

“Welcome to the Yawning Portal. We’ve got adventurers here from every profession; from every world. Yes, world. So sit back, have a drink and perhaps listen to a tale or two…”

I want the franchise to be so successful that they can do weird stuff. At that point, I want a series of animated shorts based on the AD&D 1e DMG cartoons. I want to know what's the deal with those fellows with the mouse masks and I want to witness the power of a +2 backscratcher.

If you look at just about every failed cinematic universe in the last two decades, that's where they've failed. They've been so concerned with setting up down the line that they didn't pay enough attention to what was happening now. Iron Man succeeded because up until the after-credits scene, all it cared about was being a single, good movie.

I want to see them focus on making one good, self-contained movie.

I'd love to see Dragonlance come to life as a TV series. If they are to expand the franchise beyond the first movie, that seems one of the most logical choices.

I just want Eberron, and eventually a Dragonlance premium tv series.

Pie in the sky dream, get George Miller to direct a Dark Sun movie. Or for a sequel to HAT, take that party and introduce Count Strahd as the villain. Give us a Ravenloft movie.

I think I’d love it if it was animated in this style.

Anybody remember the old disney psas.

I want something similar when it comes to dungeonhack.

Some legendary adventure comes on board (going with the icewind dale gang) and explains how to properly survive the dungeon.

Part 1 - the 10 foot pole.

An Eberron TV series would be cool. Investigation type

Yep, or a group funded by The Twelve being sent on missions and eventually having to challenge their patrons.

Or, basically Leverage, but make it D&D.

Gotta have an artificer. Preferably not Cannith, unless the internal struggle in Cannith is going to be a major plot focus.

Hah! Goofy for the win.

”Ah, here we have the average explorer with his trusty map bought from the reputable patch-eyed loner at the local inn. But wait, it looks like he’s forgot his ten-foot pole”

[pit trap opens] ”Yaaaaaahooooooeeeeee”

”Careful there…[leans over pit edge to see Goofy near the bottom, desperately clinging to upright spikes he’s contorted around] “Mind the spikes.”
