| No, not again! |
Today I read that Hasbro was giving D&D another shot at mainstream media with a t.v show. One written by John Wick creator Derek Kolstad. With Kolstad I'm cautiously optimistic that it might not be a complete cringe-fest. I wanted to do a quick write-up on what I do and do not want to see from a official D&D movie.
Do Want:
- Extremely violent; limbs getting hacked off, lots of blood, and sword clashes. Death.
- A switch between the IRL players and their characters. The player's lives should affect the campaign in some way and vice versa. See The Gamers: Dorkness Rising for how this is done.
- Lessons learned from the game should help the players in IRL, build confidence for example. Guess this is kinda the same as the above. Whatever.
- The DM has a sweet homebrew world, or uses an old setting like Greyhawk or Mystara.
- No miniatures please, theater of the mind only. Or miniatures used for combat only.
- An actual Dungeon. And Dragon(s).
- Some darker horror tones every now and then.
- Some unique ideas.
Don't Want:
- Forgotten Realms or 5e. PLEASE. (I know this isn't gonna happen)
- No kids, teenagers would be fine I guess.
- An actual generic fantasy plot with no mention of players or the actual D&D game. Like the old 2000 movie.
- PG Violence.
- Weird monster races as PCs or main characters. Like a lame Critical Role knock off.
- Mainstream actors. I'll allow a single cool cameo with Keanu Reeves, maybe.
- Boring rehashed ideas.
