The Dungeons and Dragons II: Wraith of the Dragon God spoiler filled thread.

[Alzrius]

Fighter, cleric, elf wizard, halfling rogue ...

I don't think the rogue is supposed to be a halfling.

 

[KenM]

No dwarf?? :\

Wait a minute...I just heard a sound clip from one of the Baldur's Gate games (I think it was the console game Dark Alliance 2) as they were panning in on Ismer. It was the bird/nature sound you get when walking through the woods. I know that's what it was.

Most 70s TV shows (and some movies) used the exact same shot of lightning. They use stuff like and sounds that from a film library. Even today, you still occasionally hear the same sound effects for video games that you heard in the early 80s on TV. (Ie, when a character is supposedly playing a game)

Cool Barrier Peaks reference. And they got the magmin personality right.

I certainly don't miss the blue lipstick from the first movie.

 

[Alzrius]

I like to think that when Damodar said he was a corpse creature, he wasn't speaking poetically...he actually had the template from the BoVD.

Hmmm, also lots and lots of ads for exercise equipment...

Not here. Looks like Sci Fi Channel has finally perfected targeted advertising.

 

[KenM]

No exercise ads here. Is the elf magic user a wizard or socerer? I don't see Her with a spell book.

 

[Templetroll]

So far ... like the MM illustrations at the beginning, and the occasional Greyhawk nod (Temple of Obad-Hai).

LOL at mage multi-classing to cleric, and failing to cast a mending orison.

Nice use of gust of wind.

Wouldn't a (Colossal) sleeping dragon wake if you lifted its eyelid?

Courtney has a lock on "D&D movie" from his deal with TSR. No idea how many movies he gets to make.

Doing a decent job on the spells; I like the barbarian being so far out inthe run for the raft. Nice mention of the Tower of Inverness.

I thought the D&D commercial was fine. It was low-key and direct. Like the movie? play the game.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Hmmm ... we've got exercise ads. And genital herpes ads. Ick. At least the running D&D ads are getting better.

Sneak attack doesn't work against undead ... check.

Turn undead ... check.

Barbarian rage ... coming, I'm sure.

Spells so far: summon monster, gust of wind, wall of fire, mending, discern location, dispel magic, vision/scrying, mention of teleport ...
