Because we already have LotR. Or The Witcher. Or a hundred other straight fantasy stories.I would use the players playing the game in the promotion material, not the movie itself. Why not do it straight like LoTR? Is that so bad?
Wait, you can get motorcycle racing champions for only 125 gp? So much for inflation...To be fair, the last one was a Canadian 125GP motorcycle racing champion, not a model
IP. Specifically, WotC Product Identity. Nobody else is going to have beholders, illithids, or displacer beasts.Sure, they could do it straight, but, then, how is it not just "generic fantasy movie"? What makes it a D&D movie?
No one ever seemed to realize that the purpose of the 10 foot pole was to accurately measure, for making dungeon mapsI'd settle for the wizard being terrified of housecats.
Naah, the group just needs to see a gazebo on the hill and, with no warning or lead-in, violently attack it and burn it to the ground, in a scene that has no relevance to the rest of the story.
Also, someone needs to periodically produce a 10 foot pole from gods-know-where and ask if it would be useful in whatever situation they are in. After verifying that no, it wouldn't, the pole just disappears until the next time.
If you haven't already watched the "Mythica" series, you should. They pretty much do the tropey D&D thing: Party formed in a tavern, through world saving levels of adventure, over the course of 5 movies. You can watch for free on The Fantasy Network.The opening scene is the party members first meeting in a tavern when the door slams open and an NPC runs in, randomly singles them out and approaches them to undertake a most epic quest where the fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance.
Is it comedy or drama/action or a little of both? I've been looking for something new to watch, so I'll check it out.If you haven't already watched the "Mythica" series, you should.

EDIT - I think that the series might also now be available on Prime and Tubi.
There's a little comedy in it. Especially if you think that Kevin Sorbo is funny when trying to be serious. (He has a few walk-on parts as the main character's mentor.)Is it comedy or drama/action or a little of both? I've been looking for something new to watch, so I'll check it out.
