As a lifelong D&D (etc) player, what I love about this thing is that it plays like a D&D game. So many things. Such as when they accidentally collapse the bridge so the DM (the person running the game) has to feed the players a way to continue ... in this case with his portal staff. Things like that, and the crazy lateral thinking of the players, happen all the time in D&D games.

@Thundarr100 Год назад

You’ve clearly seen the 2000 D&D movie with Jeremy Irons. But have you seen the direct to DVD sequel, Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God? When it comes to writing and properly using D&D lore in your film, this movie has it all over the original. However, when it comes to production quality and VFX, it falls short. Still worth the watch though. The sequel to the 1982 Schwarzenegger classic, Conan The Barbarian, also has a major D&D feel to it, Conan The Destroyer. And then there’s the “So Bad It’s Good” spin-off, Red Sonja. I always thought Dragonheart was a lot of fun. Hawk The Slayer is hard to find on DVD, but if you can acquire it, it definitely plays out like a D&D campaign. Oh, and you guys have gotta see Beastmaster.

@sydhamelin1265 Год назад

The 2000 D&D sequel is a double edged sword in that, it's made much more competently than the first movie, but as a result, isn't "so bad it's good". I wouldn't go so far as to call it a bad movie though, but I'd only recommend it for someone who really, really needed to see a D&D movie. But, as far as the lore goes, the sequel was much closer to the game. No beholders acting as prison guards. An actual cleric. Spells from the game, and a Ring of the Ram. It was a little dry though, and uninspired. The story was pretty meh, but still, if you want a D&D adventure, it will probably scratch that itch.

@pauld6967 Год назад

@Thundarr100 The 2000 film isn't horrible but watching the deleted & unfinished scenes on the DVD made me angry. So many scenes that could've fixed the plot holes with one particularly helpful scene that clearly was only cut because of the expense of the special effects. Sigh, just sigh. I will concede that not going with the alternate "let's set up a sequel" ending was the correct choice.

@kiedragerl8119 Год назад

So apparently that walk away scene from the paladin wasn't scripted. He just started walking out of frame and it was noisy for some reason and he didn't hear them call "cut" so he just kept going and the bard ad libbed that whole later half of the scene on the spot. Also, later in the scene while they are talking you can still see the paladin way off in the distance.....still walking....

@nucleargandhi2709 2 месяца назад

Some say he walked in a straight line until he stumbled into Forge.

@garylogan3640 Год назад

I absolutely love this movie... partly because my go-to character when playing is a neutral/good rogue, but also because so much canon lore is represented. I watched this with a few of the guys of our former D&D group (unfortunately when you hit you 40's not everyone can commit to a regular gaming schedule) we all got excited whenever a spell or D&D creature showed up, just like you did. When Themberchaud showed up (the pudgy dragon) we all jumped up and cheered, because we had encountered him on a couple of our campaigns into the Underdark (some of the people around us did not appreciate this, but we were vindicated by not being the only ones in the theater doing so).0000000

@calibadgerdude6082 Год назад

Couple of fun tidbits for you as players that I haven’t seen in the comments yet. 1) combat actually takes place in six second blocks and turns, especially the final fight with Sophina though she’s using legendary actions for action economy. 2) the maze arena is made up of 5’ square pillars that rise and fall, so it’s literally a table map and there’s a group of people hovering over top of it around a table playing a game of some sort. They really did a fantastic job capturing the feel of a true table game, you can follow how the dice roll almost perfectly and identify all sorts of player shenanigans and DM coping mechanisms. I love this movie so much!

@paulsparks771 Год назад

@Valandar2 Год назад

The reason neither Ed nor Doric cast any actual spells is the non-D&D players would ask, "If they can use magic, why do they need the sorcerer?". Also, the pudgy dragon is Themberchaud, an actual creature in lore - though, when last seen, he was in the Duergar city of Gracklstugh, a couple hundred miles from where they were in the Underdark.

@sydhamelin1265 Год назад

I never thought about that, but it's a good point. Since it would be way too awkward to explain different types, and spell levels, probably a good idea to just have the sorcerer cast.

@darksaviorx001 Год назад

@@sydhamelin1265 they released the character sheets for each one and Ed had spells like suggestion and friends

@sydhamelin1265 Год назад

@@darksaviorx001 On a character sheet I can see it, but I get the OP's point, that the non D&D fans might get confused about needing a sorcerer if it showed him using magic. Also, what did it say about Sofina? She cast 2 9th level spells back to back (meteor swarm, time stop). I wasn't aware of a spellcaster that could do that?

@johncox7169 Год назад

@@sydhamelin1265 They gave Sofina monster stats rather than player levels, so they didn't have to explain why she could cast both Time Stop and "Swarm of Meteors" each once per day. (I put Meteor Swarm as Swarm of Meteors because that is what they called it, and it wasn't a spell, it was an ability that she can use once per day, but it was pretty much word for word Meteor Swarm.)

@sydhamelin1265 Год назад

@@johncox7169 The fact that they'd go that far is kinda cool. Like they're still staying to the rules of the game. I also LOVE that this movie used some of the same plot devices as the 2000 movie, but showed how to do them well.

@lordmortarius538 Год назад

The random magic item to keep the plot moving when the party fucks up the path forward and then uses later on in an unintended way to skip fights is so faithful to RL campaigns. That hither-thither staff is emblematic of all of those I also love Holga's obsession with potatoes, that is such a player move to add a weird quirk like that. Simon being a mediocre sorcerer is great too because his primary casting stat is Charisma, and he clearly has none lolol

@arklytte Год назад

One of my favorite scenes was where Xenk was explaining the hideously complicated means to get across the bridge, then, of course, Simon fuckered it all up. That was 1000% the DM, through their DMPC going off about the awesome trap/puzzle they took several hours to create...and the PC's just screwing things up, like we always do. And when Simon looked over at Holga and asked 'What's that?...even before he could say another word, I looked over at my wife and said "That's a DM ass pull", and I was right! I cant count the number of times I've had to make stuff up, literally out of thin air, to keep my games moving, after the PC's did something silly/horrifying/mega-awesome.

@erikbjelke4411 2 месяца назад

And the black dragon spewing acid. They really set out to show audiences unfamiliar with the game the DnD "identity," these things that don't exist in other fantasy worlds, or exist but in very different ways. It's interesting to me that DnD has Elves, Dwarves, orcs, goblins, and ogres, but those seldom or ever appear in favor of more esoteric and DnD-unique races and monsters.

I loved this movie, and great reactions from you folks. The fact that you so often picked up the lines or story beats (like the Rochnon) just before they happened speaks volumes to how they effectively used the setting and the tropes without it being grating or inauthentic. In fact, that's one of my favorite bits - you can tell the passion for the source material from the people involved with the movie. Both of the directors played quite a bit, as I understand it, as well as two of the main actors. Both Michelle Rodriguez (Holga) and Sophia Lillis (Doric) have played a fair bit of D&D prior to signing on to the movie (Michelle a while ago but Sophia quite recently) and I feel that enjoyment of the material comes through in their characters. In fact, that cast all played a game together as the characters before starting shooting, and in interviews they all talked about how much they enjoyed it (OK, that's probably marketing but I'm choosing to believe!). Here's hoping for a sequel! EDIT to add, about not having a cleric: They agree with you! Or, at least Sophia Lillis does. When asked what they'd want to play if they played again everyone else picked either their own class or another character in the movie's class except Sophia, who was basically like, "I'd play a Cleric, we could have used one of those" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SBJp9aKVllA.htmlsi=iGE6tK1YSiiNONKW&t=503

It's so great to watch a reaction from some true D&D nerds who really knew the game! It really is great fun to try and name all the spells that are cast throughout the movie. Send some good energy out there into the universe that a sequel gets made!

For fun and sheer immersion in d&d edness you can't beat the gamers series. The original short "the gamers", "the gamers: dorkness rising" and "the gamers: hands of fate"

That death stare Xenk gives Simon when he steps on the bridge and triggers the trap is the approximation of the DM staring at Simon's player after he rolls a nat 1 on his dexterity save after saying he was going to "step towards the bridge", and internally debating the highest CR he can throw at them all right now before asking Simon to roll an Arcana check on some random junk the Barbarian is carrying. "Wow, she just happens to have a portal cane that can get you over the river of lava. What a coincidence." Ten minutes later Simon: "WHY is Themberchaud here and not in Gracklstugh!?" DM: "Wow, crazy shit right? Anyway roll initiative." Sofina's got to be at least level 17 to be able to cast Time Stop from preparation, meanwhile Simon is at least level 9 since he can use Bigby's Hand. I still think it's a tall ask for a level 9 to counterspell a Time Stop. He has a +3 Cha mod against a DC19 check. Not impossible but it's definitely a high stress roll, though Edgin's Inspiration die is a d8 and he can grant it as a reaction if an ally in view fails a check, so... And as a 20 year veteran of Cleric only supremacy; fuck yeah Clerics.

It would be a lot easier to enjoy this if Wizards of the Coast (and by extension, Hasbro) hadn't completely completely fucked up all their board and card games with ridiculous bullshit.

Fun fact, the sorcerer (Simon Aumar) is a descendent of Elminster Aumar, the legendary Sage of Shadowdale. I always thought that was kinda cool.

@pauld6967 Год назад

@@dancosta9488 :-) Yes, entirely normal. I am an AD&D from the TSR days, D&D 3.0 & 3.5 and Pathfinder 1st Edition (which my gaming group considers D&D 3.75) kind of guy. D&D 4.0 books never got unwrapped after play-testing the system and finding that the rules were dumbed down and the game mechanics were made to be more like a video game. D&D 5.0 disappointed me even more. Other people, for some mystifying reason, like 5.0 and that at least has them playing a version of the game. The recent fiasco with the company "simplifying" things even more, making stupid decisions to show their "wokeness" and attempting to steal the intellectual property of others has me joining the tide of people switching to Pathfinder 2nd Edition & other game systems under the ORC license. Your mileage may vary. If you and your group are happy with the current company & game mechanics, that's good because I want people to have fun. If you want to slide over to Pathfinder or another system, I would encourage that. If your group wants to try rolling back to the more complicated (some would say restrictive, I say refreshingly challenging) game mechanics of the previous eras, on behalf of my fellow grognards, I say welcome to you. Enjoy. :-) In any event, as I climb down off of my soapbox, please remember that the biggest part of the fun is the laughing, fear and comaraderie around the table with your friends.
