D&D General Which Campaign or Adventure Would You Adapt To Prestige Television?

[Paul Farquhar]

Definitely Murder in Baldur's Gate...

A Knives out Mystery.

What about doing something in Eberron? You would have the option to do something more Sci-Fi using the magitech concepts. This would allow you the option to create something with possibly a far wider appeal that a straight fantasy D&D line? Course if NetFlix did it we would get Season 1 then 3 years later Season 2

Eberron would make a great basis for a show, although I would refer a Clone Wars esque animated series. Did they ever produce an Adventure Path for Eberron? I know there were a couple linked modules in 3.5 era, and there is an AL Eberron season or two, right?

I have actually thought about this in sufficient detail to outline a series.

My pitch is simple: Undermountain.

Most fantasy stories focus on epic quests where the fate of the world hangs in the balance. In this show, we instead focus on working-class adventurers. They don't go into Undermountain because they need to save the world, but because they need to feed their eight kids, pay off their gambling debts to a criminal syndicate, or buy their way into the nobility. These are relatable, everyday heroes and anti-heroes.

Undermountain itself has a distinct Old School vibe. It's scary and suspenseful. Terrifying monsters, glittering treasure, strange magic, and endless corridors of choking darkness. Death is swift and arbitrary. But not always final.

The Yawning Portal is neutral territory where enemies and allies alike mix and mingle, talk trash, and even romance each other.

I'm totally into more Eberron, mainly because I want to see Sharn realized on screen. Mainly because it never quite feels right in a lot of battle maps.

Honestly, the closest thing to Sharn on screen has been Piltover from Arcane.

Either Masks of Nyarlathotep or Horror on the Orient Express would be fun to see realized. Given their scopes, they could each easily run multiple seasons.

While true, this thread is about D&D tv.

Actually, a tv series that takes place only in the city of Sharn would be cool. The stories would be relatable to various reallife city life. It would allow a focus on character relationships, their families, schools, and work.

I don’t think it’s the Dragons to thank for GoT popularity. More to do with Martin’s writing and the execution (both of which dropped off the later seasons which are mixed at best in reception)

PF and Golarion are not D&D or owned by WotC. So I assumed out of bounds for this. Though I think the PF iconic sand basis of Pathfinder Society would make fertile ground got a series.

I was thinking Paizo not PF, my bad
