[QUOTE="Pauln6, post: 7540540, member: 6777422"] In my opinion, the priority should be a good story with atmosphere and excitement but they should be as traditional as possible for the true fans by putting in easter eggs that nobody else will recognise. A trilogy campaign charting characters from low to mid to high levels would be a nice nod to the game. I'm probably in the minority because I prefer lower magic scenarios like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, or Conan the Barbarian than Harry Potter style high magic but I can see that choosing Faerun over Greyhawk could let them pick from some spectacular set pieces. That said, there are some awesome magical regions in the World of Greyhawk that could look great on film. I don't need Moses telling me he's casting Part Water or Control Water to recognise it. Give the spells generic names (an enchantment, conjuring an illusion, reciting a word of power, a spell of healing) and let the nerds nod sagely as they recognise the exact spell and mentally calculate the level of the characters. I'm not sure I would want to see a massive battle in every movie. The Fellowship of the Rings is my favourite of the trilogy because it evokes a sense of wonder, of mystery, and sinister forces. An adaptation of the Slave Lords trilogy might work with a few tweaks. [/QUOTE]
