Hawk the Slain.

Oh and Princess Bride is not a parody. It's a love letter. Yes it has a sense of humour and has fun with the tropes, but it's not a parody. It's also not a DnD movie.

Hawk the Slain.

Thank goodness. I mean, it's totally a D&D movie, but I hated it as a DM, because all the sudden everyone wanted a fully automatic bow in the game after that movie came out.

 

[DrunkonDuty]

I had the same problem with the automatic bow thing. I was the problem with the automatic bow thing.

It's also not a DnD movie.

It does lack spellcasters, but all the other elements are present. Plus, it cast a spell over my heart.

Yeah, I love the movie, but D&D it is not IMO...

 

[Lanefan]

Oh and Princess Bride is not a parody. It's a love letter. Yes it has a sense of humour and has fun with the tropes,

So does A Knight's Tale, and it crashed out of the voting by about page three.

but it's not a parody.

I think it is, though lower in key than Monty Python (then again, that describes just about every non-MPFC parody ever made...)

 

[DrunkonDuty]

@Lanefan. Each to their own. Where anyone draws the line for these things is completely subjective.

Excalibur was trippy but not really D&D. D&D, oddly enough, is all about the really weak campaign plots like the (late) Hawk the Slayer. Bad guy needs killing so we'll assemble a cool party of diverse characters and see it done. They are weak because the writers are trying to appeal to a widely diverse audience, and finding a common denominator isn't easy...unless you go as basic as you can go.
