Willow?

[haakon1]

I had the unique experience of reading the continuation fantasy series, Shadow Moon, Shadow Dawn and Shadow Star with no knowledge of the film.

Thanks for sharing.

I read about those of Expedia. It seems the plots contradict what happened in the Disney+ series.

And it’s the series I find most interesting.

Looks like "The Willow Sourcebook" is the thing I wanted - thanks.

The idea, for my campaign, is to have a faraway setting the PC's might visit. The Sourcebook plus memories of the Series + making things up should get the job done, if needed.

I made the mistake of doing the same and clicking on the Indiegogo campaign for the Gor RPG.

Eesh. The designer of the game sounds like a real winner.

I mean, it's Gor, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaah I bet.

We still say this one during games on rare occasions.

Yes, I had heard they were not making season 2 & 3 - which were teased when they put Book 1 on a bookshelf next to Book 2 & Book 3 at the end of the final episode - even though season 2 is alleged to be fully written.

But apparently Disney+ won’t even show season 1 anymore? That’s what I think you’re saying, and I can’t find it on Disney+ either.

Terrible. Apparently it did pretty well, but Bob Iger of Disney treated it like Gygax treated the orange version of Palace of the Silver Princess - buried it.

It did poorly enough thst they decided it would be better to claim it as a tax writeoff...which means they can't legally show it anymore.

Wikipedia doesn't seem to agree it did poorly. Apparently, it was from 6th to 3rd most streamed show in its release weeks and:

<<Willow had a demand level 14.6 times higher than the average show during Q1 2023.[58] It was among the top 10% in popularity during Q1 2023 before its removal.[59] >>

Apparently, what happened:

<<The series was officially removed from Disney+ on May 26, 2023, amidst a Disney+ and Hulu content-removal purge, as part of a broader cost-cutting initiative under Disney CEO Bob Iger.[6]>>

Yup, but that was insufficient for Disney's budget and expectations. So they tanked it.

It sucks.

I adapted a handful of items from the movie to 5e as part of the Sorcery Stop series I wrote for Kobold Press a few years ago. I filed of the serial numbers, but anybody who knows the film will recognize them.
