[QUOTE="soulkeeper, post: 4408556, member: 46634"] Personally, the first thing I'd do is refrain from putting the words D&D into the title. Tgis will simply make 90% of the world never even go see it. D&D is a game, and a brand, but any movie with a fantasy setting is like D&D. LOtR=D&D, Dragon Slayer = D&D, and all the rest. Hell, Harry Potter = D&D. All thee movies are the same style as the game we play. Come up with a cool title and sell it for what it is. Second, dump the urge to try and make people see the game rules in the movie. Casting a fireball is casting a fireball, don't have your actor yell out, how they need a specific implement, some material components and a full round to do so, so that people in the audience know where they can find what's going on in the PHB. That just adds cheese that D&D doesn't need. Third, never and I mean ever have the actors refer to each other with thier class titles. "Hey, Rogue, what you are going to do?" "I'm not sure Wizard, perhaps I'll stick you!" We all know a Wizard, a Rogue and a Paladin when we see them in action. Again, this adds cheese we don't need. [/QUOTE]
