So, it looks like Warner Bros. wants to make the next D&D movie more light-hearted and closer in feel to Guardians of the Galaxy. When I first read that headline, my kneejerk reaction was "Aww, Man!! D&D is NEVER going to get a break in the movies!" Then I read the rest of the article, and concluded that they had a point: the only fantasy movies we've seen have been very serious and self-important, like Lord of the Rings and the Narnia movies. We need something that can encapsulate both the sweeping epic feel of the Forgotten Realms, yet can also bring a touch of humor (a touch, mind you) to the proceedings. I have yet to be involved with a D&D game that was 100% serious, nor have I ever met anyone who has. There are always going to be gazebo stories, the Head of Vecna, and Monty Python references in D&D and if some of the spirit of that can be seen in the movie, all the better. Just so long as we don't have to see Marlon Wayans or that guy with the blue lipgloss in it.
Take care,

Wait, are gazeebo stories standard?
I should have known, really.
@Adam : I direct you to this Wikipedia article for Eric and the Dread Gazebo. You’re welcome. 🙂
The Dead Gentlemen do it best.
I see the Ashbringer and probably the rod of lordly might I mnentioned on FB. 🙂 The others, let’s see, a flying carpet, a genie’s lamp, don’t recognize the spacey looking sword.
One of my characters (half Hag) recently made her Hag mother a hamster via Baleful Polymorph (but did her father smell of elderberries?) for all of two seconds before the raging mass of Orc barbarian squished the hamster.
That’s one way to settle a family argument I guess.
I’d be more worried if they live-actioned the cartoon, and added more elements from the game.
A D&D movie can be done, but I’d want to see the fantasy campaign interrupted by “real life.” Example: The litch rises from throne and begins to speak: “Are your friends going to be here all night? Make sure to take out the trash when you’re done.”
