About the same.
IT is almost like asking if a character is better or worse because he is a fighter or wizard. Or male or female. Or an elf, or anything but an elf... bad example, but you gt my point.
Of course, it might go a bit to far to be running a Thomas Covenant wanna-be, but even then it could stilll be a great character. Likewise, running a non cleric that puts way too much emphasis in his religious texts might be going overboard a bit, but might be fun as well. |

Sure, you'd just have a hard time casting divine spells. |

wow thats so interesting i thought that the more wisdom a being has the more he should worship but like wow
So were getting kinda off topic ummm if theres one thing that you could change in the d&d movie what would it be
(mine would be they should of never thought of a movie)
the reason why is that it destroys imagination it was like harry potter for me before those books turned to movie i used to imagine that street that you could by stuff, i used to dream that the street was big and had many people out there but it turns out in the movie they made it short and with like a few peasant looking people. well until next post

This is an annoying trend...
People get me started on a line of thought, that while interesting to discuss, is not quite worth ogf it's own thread, then as soon as I get into the topic, it suddenly ends before I get to finish.
Seriously though, yes a movie can destroy the imgainative aspect of what it depicts. But by that same token, so could taling to a person and them describing the way they see it.
This aspect is why it is highly unlikely in my eyes for their to be a FR movie, at least one depicting events and people that already exist in book form.
Were they to take a little developed region or area, and use all new characters it would be far more succesful thn if they used the already heavily detailed areas and characters.
THere is no way to do, say, Waterdeep that would please all the fans, or even a large portion of them for that matter. ANd using an established character gets even worse, because not only do you anger the people that picture the character differently, but also all the people that dislike the character.
It's a catch 22, people want to see their realms on screen, but the only realms they want to see is the one they themselves picture. It's just too bad. |

The D&D movie should have been structured exactly like the princess bride, which means it would have been a comedy of sorts. When something questionable happens in the movies, it cuts out to the players and DM sitting around the table and they start arguing over rules, or alignment violations, or "You can't do that!"

though i understand your reasoning but the princess bride, wow i never thought id hear that in the land of faerun. but im sure there is a better movie you can relate d&d too like something like Monty Python and the search for the holy grail or like Speed
( ok so i rolled a d20 as a ride check, can i floor the bus to make it jump over the unfinished highway?) hmmmm interesting

You are a freaking genius. That's EXACTLY what needs to be done. I'm a member of the FR Movie Foundation on the WotC Forums, and we've been trying to figure this out for a while. We have already determined that the only way it would be possible is to have a brand new group of people, and with your idea, it all makes perfect sense. I just might be able to start writing the scipt. YAH!!! |

Whoa, wait... A new group of people? As in, new characters? The thing I argued for so many times, and finally, long after I'm banned from the site, someone else realized that new characters was the way to go? Wow.  |

Yes Sirus, there is an FR Movie Foundation on the Wizards boards. We're up to 8 pages now. And Wooly, I'm sorry if you were rejected, but it's taken us 8 pages, and it has only taken you guys 2. You are definatly a step ahead. But yes, it would take a whole new cast of characters, because as you said, everyone has their own idea about what the realms are and what the people in the realms are. Now we have also come to the realization that you can't please everyone, so we are just trying to displease as few as possible. There has also been some talk about a TV show, though I don't know how well that is going, or even if it's a good idea. This is the thread. Enjoy.

I had plenty of time to prepare my arguments on that one -- I had to do it on three different threads.
And thank you for linking to the thread, but I am no longer welcome in the WotC forums. I was banned for supposedly talking about novels, and two rounds of protesting it has done nothing for me. |

I have very little to say, other than the fact that the concept of another D&D movie already being in the works, and planned, is kind of frightening. The first one was amusing in it's own way, sort of, but not really. It was more a disappointment than anything. They're "grand finale" of a screen full of dragons seemed to me as being a cheap/cheesy way of trying to make people enjoy the movie. It didn't really work for me. But, thats just my opinion...

Well, apparently it was an opinion shared by many as I don't recall the first movie making that much at the box office. Still, the studio presses on for a sequel. Alas, they must feel more secure this time around that something will be different. |

I think we should be EXTREMELY cautious when anticipating the D&D II movie.
I vote that we first cast detect bad plot and find wooden actors, then have a thief go and pick-pocket a draft script as well as look for any chasms (plotholes) in said script, then finally have Tascha's Hideous Laughter on standby just so that we can at least laugh at it if it's going to be as appalling as the last venture.
Otherwise we'd be reduced to tears yet again at another flop of a D&D movie  |

Alas I think they're "secure feeling" is misplaced. but what have you, when it reaches M-network I may watch it, but I won't be paying to go see it, thats for sure.

Glad you all found my little post so amusing
As to the movie, well I think pragmatism is the key here:
Hope for the best,
expect the worst,
take whatever comes along!
And still have a basket of rotten fruit ready to hurl in disgust at the screen if it's truly awful...
