    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    You know.. One angle that hasn't been touched on.. What about a high pressure business drama period piece? INT. Gygax house, Lake Geneva, 1970's. Camera floats down the steps into a smoky basement where a couple of guys are hastily taping together white boxes, saddlestapling booklets, etc...

    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    20 minutes of trailers would be fine.. The fact that there's now an additional 20 minutes of non-trailer ads included in the pre-show is what's really frustrating.

    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    Yeah, but they're no longer front and center. Now I have to remember to go check Youtube weekly or something to see if anything is coming out. It sounds silly, but honestly I probably should set a reminder to do just that. The way it is now, I either get the desire to want to go to the movies...

    D&D General Druids and Path Dependency: Why the Scimitar Helps Illuminate D&D

    I'm glad this thread got brought back up to make the rounds.. I've been playing EverQuest again on the Project Quarm server.. Something I've realized is that EQ stole a lot from D&D. This is one of those things. Druids in EverQuest can wield Scimitars, but not short swords, or long swords.. Or...

    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    I still really love the cinema experience. I always get a giddy feeling when I sit down in those plush theater chairs with my gallon of Cherry Coke and my bag of sour gummy worms. I love feeling the rumbling bass in my chest. That moment where the lights go down and and a hush (hopefully) goes...

    The timing was pretty awful. Imagine if it had come out after the holidays following BG3. Granted, there's no way they knew BG3 was going to be so crazy at the time.. But just imagine..

    The box office thing makes me so sad, but I think we're really looking at cinema rolling it's death saving throws right now. I wonder if D&D:HAT would have been a hit had it dropped half a decade ago. Great reviews, lack luster performance. Now we're seeing the same thing with the new Mad Max...

    I think someone in my MTG group chat mentioned that. Are they releasing with promo cards in each volume?

    I haven't gotten to read it yet, but it's been on my to-do list ever since I heard about it.

    D&D General What is the Quintissential D&D Mascot Monster?

    These would be the Mascot Heroes.. The Mascot villain would be the calendar. My initial thought in the MM thread was Beholder. I love beholders and they feel very D&D to me. However I think Mimics have a little more broad appeal. They've leaked out into the general fantasy zeitgeist more than...

    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    MTG would make such a good animated show. I wonder if this is part of the problem. The stuff that we enjoy, like Honor Among Thieves doesn't fill the coffers. They need the kind of thing that would make normies tune in. I think a general, feel-good, coming-of-age sitcom type show could...

    D&D Movie/TV ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Live-Action Series Not Going Forward At Paramount+, Will Be Revamped & Shopped By Hasbro

    You know.. I hadn't thought of this, but I get where you're coming from. I think it really depends on the overall vibe though. If it's attempting to be a serious action/drama show along the lines of Game of Thrones, or Wheel of Time.. I feel like cutaways to the "Players" behind the characters...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I will look into it. Do you happen to have an elevator pitch for it?

    Mimic is a good choice.. It could even be a Book Mimic.. That would be fun

    D&D 5E (2024) Alternate 2024 DMG Cover features Lolth!

    Beholder is a popular option considering it's a D&D original.. But I'd hope they wouldn't use the same monster twice, considering the Beholder is front and center of the 2014 MM. Perhaps an Owlbear or a Purple Worm?

    D&D 5E (2024) Alternate 2024 DMG Cover features Lolth!

    Aren't most images static? I didn't see the motion enable holo cover. I particularly like the implied texture of these two covers. I like the way the color changes from top to bottom. I like the cartoony vibes. I'm hoping in person these will have matte finishes to match the look. I feel...

    Steam games and MTG.. We're talking about collections.. Not shameful addictions.

    D&D 5E (2024) Alternate 2024 DMG Cover features Lolth!

    Don't get me wrong.. I like both of the regular covers.. Quite a lot actually.. But I love these. My favorite part is that they're different colors. The spine of the standard versions bore me to tears, so I'm glad that these will actually look distinct and interesting on the shelf, as well as on...
