WE ARE STOKED about this!! What do you think? Will this hit the mark or will it fail to truly represent how special D&D really is? Don't forget to subscribe and hit that like button!
Chis Pine is also wearing a Harpers Pin, so probably a Bard.
Rumor has it that we will get to see the characters from the 1980’s animated series Dungeon & Dragons! When I found that out I was super stocked plus cameos from critical roll! I can’t wait for this movie to drop!
I think this movie will dominate the box office!
This movie just looks like fun!
I believe they got it right on this one & I hope it dominates at the box office!
I think visually the movie looks fantastic.
Tonally though … It's trying desperately to capture 'Guardians Of The Galaxy' / 'Thor: Ragnarok' with the humor and group dynamics. Chris Pine is the Star Lord / Thor white male overconfident idiot who'll get one-up'd by everyone else (all female or minority) once the shit hits the fan. I mean… sure. Fine. I think it's getting a little tired at this point. How about having a group of actual friends who aren't insulting each other all the time, and are all capable as well as flawed across the board?
Everyone keeps saying you can't wildshape into an owlbear. But they keep forgetting about the shifter prestige class, no one said this was 5e, so it could be perfectly legit for 3.5.
i suspect the Arena has a prize at the center that they need to fight the great evil.
So you didn't see the spider in the wood?
I've always enjoyed arena scenes in a D&D game as a way for players to have opportunities to show off their character's abilities in a semi non-lethal, controlled way where the stakes aren't necessarily high. It's also a way for the DM to play around with some monsters or traps in a non-consequential way that they know won't be otherwise showing up in the campaign. Furthermore, it can expose some classes to creatures or traps where character knowledge is important for some reason, and they wouldn't have said knowledge otherwise.
Arenas are actually a great way to introduce characters to each other as well at the start of a campaign.
What if it was shape water and not a cube? 🤔
Probably already know by now but classes were actually confirmed: Chris Pine as Edgin the Bard, Michelle Rodriguez as Holga the Barbarian, Justice Smith as Simon the Sorcerer, Sophia Lillis as Doric the Druid (and yes, she's a tiefling – you can also see her tail in a couple shots), Regé-Jean Page as Xenk the Paladin, and Hugh Grant is playing one of the antagonists Forge the Rogue.
It's being theorized that the "colosseum" moment will actually be an in-universe recreation of a D&D battle map filled with various monsters and traps that the party have to fight through, with Hugh Grant/Forge acting as the "dungeon master."
I hope we will get to see druegar or lolthsworn drow in the underdark
Looks great from the trailer and much better than previous attempts. Seems true to the feel of dnd and hopefully will have an inspiring story to tell which is at the heart of great movies. Hope they turn it into a series of some kind.
I think there is a harper pin on Chris.
Loved your reaction to this!
I'm seeing a lot of people upset (mainly on twitter) about the druid shapeshifting into an owlbear, because it's a CR3 and not a beast. I don't really care, because I think Rule of Cool >>>, and as a DM, I'd probably let my druid shapeshift into whatever they wanted (within reason), and just use a statblock for a similar, lower CR creature.
The black dragon looks great if I do say so myself.
At the end, it was firebolt, blocked by shield. The Druid uses dimension door. The wizard at the beginning uses slow. When the mage uses misty step, she is dodging ray of Frost.
