Dungeons and Dragons 2 screener leaked

[Viking Bastard]

I liked it.

I mean, it's not great or anything, but it really makes me think how fun a well made,
albeit low budget, D&D TV series could be.


A few thoughts, though:

Spoiler

- Didn't the Dragon Specters survive the first movie? Y'know, as a evil Dragolich God
descends on your city, now would be a pretty neat time to use 'em. Since they're
going with the first movie's continuity an' all.

- Now, since Izhmar surrendered it's Magocracy to the rule of the people 100 years
ago, it really has gone down hill. Maybe the Mages had the right idea after all.

- Hahah. The Lich betraying Damodar was great. He just seemed bored, getting involved
for the heck out of it. That's what centuries of undeath will get you. Boredom.

- For the ÜberHenchman he was in the first, Damodar seemed kinda wimpy here. No
battling at all. Of course, in the first he was just against a bunch of wimpy thieves,
no Lord Minister and gang. Maybe he was just a big puss making big noises with his
purple lipstick and necksnaketentacles.

- Is it me, or was the whole adventuring party just kinda copied from the 3e PHB's
illustrations, right down to the tattoos?

- Damodar was just thrown in jail? Guess who's the baddy in D&D 3, then.

- I liked the Rogue. He was fun.

- The girl playing the Lord Minister's wife was awful. Cute, though.

- The Elf had what, three lines?

Next movie, can we please get a Beholder? There's nothing that says D&D to me like a
Beholder. Beauty in the eye of... and all that.

I also enjoyed

Spoiler

the lich's betrayal, not due to some nefarious plan on his own, but more because evil guys don't necessarily support evil guys just because they're evil.

And mad props to

Spoiler

Nimmt, the rogue -- VERY much the way many players play rogues.

But a big "boooooo" to the first female mage saying

Spoiler

that no one wielded divine magic in the city, and then having this huge temple to Obad-Hai where all kinds of divine magic is taking place

. What was the point of that?

That puzzled me a bit as well.

Huh?

Why didn't she just go over and ask?
