[QUOTE="OB1, post: 8225976, member: 6796241"] [USER=7017304]@jmartkdr2[/USER] def agree on the importance of the opening narration for the film. Like the text crawl in a Star Wars film, this should give a quick glimpse into the universe and set the stakes for the film, and the easier to understand the better (get the plans to the Rebels to save the Galaxy, everyone can understand the why of this even if they don't understand the world). That could be done either by a DM at a real table as we swoop into the world, or by a disembodied voice as we sweep over the world and down to the characters (as a bonus, let's start in the middle of an action scene here). [USER=6818233]@Enevhar Aldarion[/USER] for myself, while there are things that I would like to see, there are also countless other options that I don't hope for or have even imagined, but which could still make for a great film. Pelor knows prior to each and every Star Wars film I had a strong ideas about what I wanted from them, and almost always got something that I wasn't expecting but still greatly enjoyed. [USER=6906155]@Paul Farquhar[/USER] not sure how you think The Princess Bride doesn't have stakes. All good stories, whether Comedy, Drama, Action or Farce require them to be a compelling narrative. In fact, the stakes get so serious for the Frame of this film that we get a break in the action to go back to the Frame because the character is so upset by what is happening in the book story.
