[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9380126, member: 93670"] You can watch the entire [URL='https://publicdomainmovie.net/movie/robin-hood']1922 [B]public domain[/B] robinhood silent film here[/URL] for free. Do you have any evidence wharsoever that Gygax or any of the others used either of the movies from 1922 & 1938 thirty-forty something years later in the way you are claiming, or is it just an overstated gut feeling ? Even if you do have that evidence, can you explain why it matters to modern d&d given how long they have been uninvolved in d&d? I found the 2018 robinhood movie by looking for an example of a more recent robin hood movie not shot using theater fencing for the swordwork & was thrilled to find [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Svd15hqUfs']it had actual d&d style riot squad with semiautomatic crossbows[/URL] so chose it as an example more relevant to modern d&d. Actually I'd say that Inigo son of a swordsmith & duelist+henchman for a criminal who disliked dealing with the rich & privileged was more of a fighter & think that was discussed by others in this or another recent thread. Either way it's still a meme & at least close enough to being "popular fiction" to be far more relevant than the two movies you reference as examples of "popular fiction" [/QUOTE]
