SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: TristramEvans;817662I'd have a bunch of adventurers in a tavern, each telling stories about the horrible things they saw "down there" and the grisly fates their companions met. Feature vignettes with mindflayers, beholders, oozes, lurkers, etc. Finish it up with the one guy who saw a dragon, though no one else believes him. Have one of the first stories be basically a retelling of the Bargle/Aleena adventure from the Red Box.

That's actually pretty brilliant, especially with the whole angle of "a bunch of people sitting around a table" as an analog to play. I like that.

With dialog heavy stories, you can't hide behind fancy effects. Which is good, because the effects are unlikely to have been that good.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Quote from: Omega;817665Bear in mind that a D&D movie can be done properly because it has been done in the form of the Record of Lodoss War animated series in Japan. That is based directly on transcribed BX D&D adventures.
For the most part; they did change certain things to make the story better.
For example, in the game, Deedlit wasn't interested in Parn, but in Parn's magic sword. They changed that to a more conventional love story between the characters, since it makes for a better story.

Kind of curious why none of The Gamers movies/series, are getting any kind of love?

Yup, an anthology-style movie would be a good way to go. It's a method that's worked for a long time, as Chaucer reminds us. :)

Because they are parodies.
