"Scourge Of Worlds - A Dungeons and Dragons Adventure" DVD

[JoeBlank]

I too wondered about Lidda's voice, sounds very familiar.

If someone has the demo or DVD handy (I am at work), check to credits and tell us who plays Lidda. We can then run the name thru http://www.imdb.com/ and see where we have seen/heard her before.

Thanks.

I watched the demo, but I was wondering how you would rate the content of the full DVD? (with regards to PG, PG-13, etc.). I thought the demo was okay for my son, but I wasn't sure about the full version.

I'd peg it at G, maybe low-end PG. The demo is pretty indicative. There are a few fights but no gore; frankly, I can think of scarier Disney movies.

I did a mini review in another thread, and will be doing a full review today.

Lidda: Caroline Lesley

Guess I was wrong about Lidda. Caroline Lesley was in Medabots and Heart of My Heart, neiter of which are familiar to me.

Dan and Anne do not even have entries at http://www.imdb.com/ so they must be new.

Figured it out. Lidda sounds like Vicki Lewis, from NewsRadio.

Played the demo...

I was alternately blown away and laughing at the demo - it was very uneven.

I thought they did a good job with the three iconics - it was very nice to see Mialee meditating, and I liked the interplay between Lidda and Regdar. (Lidda was my favorite of the three.)

The first fight scene, with Baratheon and the elemental, wasn't very convincing - there was no follow-through on the mace hits, it didn't give the impression of striking a solid object at all. In contrast, when he's knocking the wolf-things around, he looks a lot better.

The three main characters have pretty good facial expressions for CGI characters, and their acting was decent. The barbarians in the bar, ont he other hand, were...ah...laughable.

At its best, it's good, at its worst, it's still better than the D&D movie.

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp So what's the next step after the Collector's Edition? A sequel? Or perhaps a D&D TV show done all in CGI?

I'm guessing sequel ... the endings were open-ended enough for it. I'd buy a sequel.

A full review is up now for those that haven't seen it.

I was pleasantly surprised by the demo DVD, and will buy the full version. My roommate and I popped into my XBox after we got back from my D&D session last night, and we ended up watching it until 2 AM. We went through all the choices to check out the different plot lines. I thought voice acting was good, and as Erik pointed out they did a good job bringing out the details of Greyhawk. I did a double take when Mialee mentioned that the artifact's name sounded Suloise.

As a complete D&D collector goob, it's always cool to have entertaining, fun stuff to collect.
