    So who else’s mom would not let them play D&D because they believed all the satanist/steam tunnel lies?

      Yep. But I had no interest in playing, so I had two reasons to tell my mom she was being dumb. Wait, make that three, because the friend she wanted me to “be more like” was a D&D fanatic.

      Not mine, My parents were cool

      In High School our games club was not allowed to play it, but we could play any other RPG that the parents had no clue about.  So we played a lot of wholesome WoD games

    The 1999 Dungeons and Dragons was the first DVD I ever purchased, along with a 3-episode set of DragonBall Z.

    I had terrible taste.

      I’m sorry, I think you mean AMAZING taste. Fuck the mages of Izmir, Profion was a monster, the princess had some good ideas but poor execution.

      I once paid someone to take my DVD of D&D away.

    I said it elsewhere. Make a D&D Lego Movie then create D&D Lego Adventure sets. That way Satan can seduce a whole new generation into demonic activities!

      I know people who use Lego men as DnD miniatures. This seems like easy money.

    Sounds like a quality and epic film adaptation, of the best fantasy role playing game ever, is going to be a fleeting enterprise. This does not sound like a winning formula for serious D&D fans.

    I guess we’ll just have to get out fill from things like LOTR and GOT until someone finally does it right.

      Someone just needs to commit to a movie adaptation of Dragonlance, or one of the other core book series.

      I agree, that would seem a natural fit.

      I’m cautiously optimistic that the upcoming Netflix Witcher series, Amazon’s LOTR era prequel and Conan (more book canon related) series, may give us some of what we are looking for.

    I think I would rather just watch one of these brilliant D & D themed episodes of TV

    Honestly the only way I could see a D&D movie working is if they adapt the Drizzit books.

      You are correct. D&D is too general to make a movie about it. They need to set it in a known/popular D&D world (Curse of Stradh, Dragonlance, Drizzit novels (Forgotten Realms)) so that there’s already an established world that people will get excited about.

      I said this in another reply, but they could make movie based on a game module series. The Slavers/Giants/Drow series (A1-4, G1-3, D1-3) would be cool, though the Drow being dark-skinned would be problematic now. But basing movies off of already existing narrative structure would help focus the stories.

    Considering how well Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle did, they’d be smart to make a D&D movie based on the 80's Saturday morning cartoon where a bunch of kids of varying age at an amusement park get sucked into the D&D world by the Dungeon Master and each take on archetype roles, swept up in adventure and battles as they navigate the enchanted realm, looking for a way home.

    You know, it’s sad. We live in an era when everyone seemingly shrugged and said to themselves “All good things were made in the 20th century. We’re not gonna try.”
