D&D General D&D doesn't need a movie! Make a Boardway show instead!

[MichaelSomething]

We talked about making a D&D movie a fair number of times here. To shake things up, let's discuss bringing D&D to the stage!

Wicked and Hamilton are just a few of the plays that breached the public's conscience, I'm sure D&D can do it too! And I bet the musical numbers would be great. Who's with me?

It could be the biggest Broadway hit since Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark!

 

[Parmandur]

You kid, but it could work.

 

[Morrus]

We want a movie because we’ll be able to watch it. A Broadway show is much harder for 99% of the world to watch.

I've never seen Hamilton, but I have gotten a lot of mileage out of the soundtrack.

Well I suppose you could listen to the D&D soundtrack. Is that better or worse than seeing a movie?

It's different.

Fighter on the Roof?
West Marches Story?
Kinky Boots of Elvenkind?

"BARD! the musical"

Doesn't anybody remember ABC had Galavant a few years back?

Depends on how much of it consists of screaming, blades thunking into flesh, and the sound of heavy coins being poured from a chest.

 

[Undrave]

... and the sound of heavy coins being poured from a chest.

Then there's a five minute song about mimics.

Then there's a five minute song about mimics.

Sung by mimics and accompanied by sounds of wet chewing.

 

[Prakriti]

This is not a bad idea.

 

[Undrave]

They just go through all the 'pretend to be stuff' monsters of D&D up to the Greater Mimic pretending to be a full tower.

Was this a real show?

Is there anywhere I can see it?

It's on Netflix, it was a real show.

 

[GreyLord]

I need to see this show.

A team like, e.g. Muppet Show making gags like a choir of mimics could be fun.
Unfortunately, things probably won't go this way. It would be made by Hollywood. Those maybe would enlist help… of the best and brightest Most Woke experts on the matter, such as Mike Mearls and Paul S. Kemp. Thus, the most likely result is yet another crate of "Fanboy Tears" mugs ordered.

Mike Mearls is "woke" now. That's certainly one way to look at it.

Long ago. Have you seen his twitter? And more specifically, he sings to the same loonie tune as Disney crew (the source of that image). Should they sing it together… well, it's reasonable to expect the result will not be suddenly and drastically different.
