Like when I watch a Star Wars or Marvel/DC film I catch much more than your average movie-goer. I’m sure there’s MANY easter eggs and references I didn’t catch. It’s one I would be happy to watch again in a larger group of dedicated fans. The relationships and charisma between the characters was well founded, the emotional payoff was acceptable, and the overall message and theme of the film was positive and on-point. The acting was dedicated in it, the special effects were fantastic, and the fight choreography continues the positive trend of showing what the hell is going on in an action scene (We’ll wait for Fast X to kill that trend). But oh! Except this time there isn’t fear of a lawsuit being brought against the film company, and they can say names only 10% of the audience will recognize! Like Beholder(TM) or Red-Wizard(TM)! That being said, the film itself wasn’t that bad.

Instead we have an expected generic (DnD is designed to BE generic in order to accommodate almost any type of story, that’s its strength so that isn’t really a surprise) fantasy action movie with the habitual A-list stars to put butts in seats. It could easily make people rush out to their local game store and try it for themselves. Highlight the creativity and ingenuity that goes into these sessions. Showing how Tabletop RPGs can bring people together from all walks of life. A group of individuals coming together to play a game of DnD, working out their real world issues through the game itself. I could tell you what I would’ve really enjoyed.

So then, what in God’s (that isn’t trademarked yet, I checked) name can we expect from a Dungeon’s and Dragon’s movie at all? What the IP is these days, and what it even represents changes not only from hobbyist to laymen, but within even the hobbyist realm. And then make tons of money out of it!” All word replacement and trade-mark infringement jokes aside, DnD (purchased later by Wizards of the Coast) has a sorted history and relationship with (now own by Hasbro) its customer base (lets be real, Disney will buy them next). Happy gaming.Salutations fellow CinemaFans! Remember the first time you saw and/or read Lord of the Rings? How when the credits rolled or the book closed you thought to yourself, “I wish I could return to Middle-Earth and carve my own name in the Mines of Moria, climb to the top of Mount Doom, and drink a pint of Ale at the Lady Green Inn with a Hobbit.” Well Dungeons and Dragons is one of the first groups that thought that too, but when the evil wizards of trademarks and IPs reared their ugly heads, they changed their dreams to “I wish I could return to, carve my in the Mines of Morphia, climb to the top of Mount Doomarth, and drink a pint of Ale at the with a. You're totally replying to a thread from 2015 that some loser necro'd up. I don't know why Wizards never sued them.Ģ. Tibia has a long history of being forced to remove content per similarities. That is probably the worst game ever made, and CIP one of the worst devs of all time. Do not dare say 'Tibia', when referring to a game. Poe 2 has basically beholders but they're tentacle monster things with no eyes and they walk on the ground.ġ.

Still, I don't remember any beholders in Pillars of eternity. Not all DND monsters are licensed as many are from other sources, but beholder is one of the original DND monsters. They're in the game still but look slightly changed and renamed to bonelords because of Wizards of the coast.īeholders are licensed to wotc. They had monsters called beholders that looked exactly like DND beholders. I have googled it and I couldn't find a single example of a game forced into removing it, let alone 'many' of them.
