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.

What would a D&D movie look like?

Quote from: Dirk RemmeckeMidnight Chronicles?
The trailers (the first one more than the second) look like a charming mixture between LotR and Robin of Sherwood.
The elf in that film?  Former gaming crew member of mine from when he was in high school.  Decent actor now; only one of his high school acting group to actually make good on it.

Yeah, I'm rather excited about what the Midnight people are doing. Not just because of the specific project, but for the general implications this style of making -- and maybe distributing -- movies/episodes brings with it.
I was rather disappointed 'bout the orc mask, though...

The Midnight folks were at CONvergence last month, and I specifically asked about their distribution and marketing plans.  Mr. Peterson, the director and CEO of FFG and Landoval Studios, told me that they're locally-focused in terms of theater distribution, working through comic and game shops.  (This, by the way, is still practical to do around here.)  For wider distribution, they aren't sure as to what to do yet; for now, it's a matter of hitting up the gaming and comic convention circuits--they're at GenCon--and drumming up word-of-mouth.

So, if you're at GenCon, go bother them about this.  It has serious potential to be good work done on a low budget, and if this succeeds in its modest goals then there will certainly be more of it.

To build on a point upthread, history isn't about making stories either and yet there are great historical movies.

There's two threads here, one is an interesting thread about what a DnD movie would look like, the other is a category error linked to a rant.

Me, I'm interested in the first thread, and my answer to it is the second DnD movie although some of the Conan movies come pretty close too as arguably does that Beastmaster movie or whatever it was called.

Now, if we were talking good movies I'd be sunk, but movies that capture the feel we do have.
