[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 8214689, member: 28487"] D&D has had since the beginning (more or less) a successful novel line. It might not have been good but it was commercially successful. It also a long legacy of successful video games. It has not had movie or TV success mostly because no-one has thrown enough money at D&D story telling in those medium. I never played Baldur's Gate but I get the impression that one could base a decent TV series on it, Neverwinters Nights 2 could make a movie or TV series or Dragonlance or the Crystal Shard would also make a reasonable premise for a movie or TV series. None of these stories done in another medium would be a blow by a blow remake of the other format and it should not be [/QUOTE]
