D&D General Weekend Fun: What Fantasy Movie Does Your Ideal D&D Campaign Look Most Like?

[Paul Farquhar]

HAT isn't my D&D at all, so didn't get my vote... and I expect it won't get a vote from many others.

It's a joke for me, and a bad one, not D&D.

I feel the same about Game of Thrones. It's so not my D&D that no one else is allowed to like it, and if they say they do they are either lying or having Badwrongfun.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of humour. I can like or dislike what I want and voice that opinion. Other can do the same.

You're engaging me like this is basically saying my opinion is "badwrongfun." Please don't and thanks.

You are entitled to like whatever you like. But you are the only person in this thread passing judgment on what other people are allowed to like.

I am not "passing judgement", I am stating my opinion. There's a big difference.

Given the antics of my PCs, I'm going to have to go with Time Bandits (1981).

Yeah—-not a favorite movie but the chaos and jumping to new places is a fit! I also selected it. Along with Arnold’s conan and Excalibur…and maybe some Peter Jackson…

Okay, you are "stating your opinion" about what other people like.

 

[Scott Christian]

so which one didn't have great world building?

In my opinion, Honor Among Thieves. It had world building, but it seemed kind of loose, with many of the sights and backgrounds not explained. I mean, I get them because I have read 1000s of pages of lore and books, but from a 2-hour movie standpoint, it seemed like just a fair job.

Imagine Babylon 5 crossed with the Seven Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor, Star Wars, and Lord of the Rings. Those four are probably the four greatest contributors to my perspective on fiction and good gaming.

Babylon 5, but the PCs are Vir, Lennier, Marcus, Na’Toth, and Bester (if I’m a player rather than DM).

Something like that, yes. Though I don't think I could run a game for Bester. Probably more like Talia or Lyta. Probably the latter, she has a very D&D-character-style arc, including making some uncomfortable sacrifices and having mysterious powers.
