WotC ICv2 Has A Theory That WotC Will Be Sold

Well, Disney hasn't quite acquired every entertainment related company yet, so ... maybe?

Ugh: D&D&D. Sure, I'd get my movies and stuff, but at what cost? AT WHAT COST?!

I will never understand the hatred for a yet-to-be-filmed much less released film. It could be good, it could be bad, we have no way of knowing. Stating that it will "inevitably" be good, bad, or really anything seems a bit hyperbolic.

It's because the budget needed to bring it to life won't pass muster due to how movies are funded.

 

[Zardnaar]

Very thin and very speculative.

A D&D movie has to include people in the real world playing D&D interspersed with “in-game” sequences, and derive its humor and pathos from the interplay between the players in the real world and the stuff that happens in-game a la She Fights Monsters. That is the only way to differentiate it from every other fantasy movie.

Otherwise, it’s just another fantasy movie, and inevitably worse than Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

Pretty much this. A TV series would probably be the best way to do a any RPG.

It's quite humorous people still think a D&D movie or TV show will come out anytime soon.

Let alone be good.

There's going to be one next year - Vox Machina. Amazon has already confirmed two seasons.

Kinda sorta maybe. I look at it more doing it's own thing.

It's a show based on a D&D campaign ... I don't see any kinda sorta maybe about it.

5e PHB on Amazon is ranked 103 overall in all books....6 years after it’s released. 5e is still selling well, I can’t see them selling if it’s contribution margin to profits is strong.

Yeah I don’t see how anybody can argue that Legends of Vox Machina is not a D&D show. They literally took their D&D campaign and made it a cartoon.
