D&D Movie/TV Update: new theaters added. See the D&D Movie Wednesday and get a Faerun cloth map!

I hope you enjoy the movie.

I just got back. They did have the cloth maps, also a 9" x 12" sort of mini-composite poster of the characters and some of the monsters.

I also thoroughly enjoyed it, but I am the target audience.

There was also a D20 popcorn bucket, it had a lid so it looked like a D20 when closed. At the concession stand, $34.99, I didn't get one.

How big is the map?

How big is the map?

Roughly 17 by 11 inches, folded in 4.

Having kids there was no way I could make it to the showing on a school night so I did the next best thing and bought one of my brothers a ticket to go as my proxy. Just before his showing started he sent me a pic of the map and poster he received (he also mentioned the drinking cup had some sort of chest on top of it?) It is with a sense of irony that I note that my brother is not that big on fantasy and, courtesy of me, he is seeing this movie before I am. (I'm taking the family this weekend and seeing it with my old gaming buddies the week after.)

He used to work in the film industry on the CGI side of the house and has a reputation for being a harsh film critic, I'm kinda curious to hear his thoughts on the film as he will approach it from a vastly different angle from me.

Here's the map, it's decent cloth and is 11x17. The edges are kind of serrated, but my phone decided to crop it closer and remove the edges.

This is weird. It looks great except it stops too soon eastwise and south.

Well two thirds of Faerun roughly. It leaves off Mulhorand, Calimshan, Chult, Tethyrs, Dambrath, Luiren, Halruaa, Unther, Tymanther, THAY!, etc...

Watching the movie, I noticed the map in the title sequence, although the same as this, seemed significantly wider west-east. CinemaScope rather than A4. I couldn't read the details without freeze-frame, but I suspect it might have stretched to Thay.

Also, the title sequence map looked to have been embroidered.

I feel like I've seen a paper version of that very map at some point. Anyway - there is someone selling them on ebay for like $15 a piece. They seem to have a bunch - probably a theater worker who grabbed a box.

Scanned the cloth map on my home scanner (in 2 pieces so had to clip it together a little).

Also made a copy with branding edited out for those who want to use this for their TTRPG games.

Posted images are PNG, 300dpi, 11x17.

For TIFF, 600dpi, 11x17 go here:

Well Neverwinter is on the Map, but pretty sure that’s a map of Faerun.

Well two thirds of Faerun roughly. It leaves off Mulhorand, Calimshan, Chult, Tethyrs, Dambrath, Luiren, Halruaa, Unther, Tymanther, THAY!, etc...

But the one interesting thing it shows on the map is Chondath, Chondath was wiped out in the Spellplague, but unlike Mulhorand, Halruaa and Unther, Chondath's was not covered in the SCAG, its Sundering fate completely unknown.

I believe the movie is set in the current era (correct me if I'm wrong).

I was recently looking at the Sword Coast and Faerun, and this cloth map is pre-5e in geographic structure. I think it is closest to the 3e map of Faerun.

As to the differences between 3e and 5e: look east from the Moonshae Isles to Turmish on this map, then do so for the Sword Coast map in SCAG.
