Dragonlance D&D Game Blog

So I recently ran across the Good Bad Flicks movie review channel on YouTube, and specifically found their review for the original D&D Movie. I found the review to be very generous, in fact, I don't think I've ever read a review that includes so many positive things about the film without being just a total "rah-rah" puff piece. Also, the review has some nice background information about the making of the movie, mostly at the end of the video, that I hadn't heard before. At less than 30 min, it's worth taking a look at.

There are a couple of movies coming out (hopefully) soon that look to be of interest to the gaming crowds. And no, I don't mean the Dungeons and Dragons movie that Hasbro is trying to put together at Universal once they deal with this lawsuit and that lawsuit . In case you haven't heard, they are... Zero Charisma - This movie is opening in limited release in THEATERS, actual theaters I tell you! It tells the tale of local popular DM (actually GM, they avoid D&D specific trademarks) who suddenly finds his sway over his gaming group challenged by the arrival of a new player to his group. This dark comedy looks like it will trod familiar geek tropes like living in the basement and lack of romantic relationships. We'll see if rises above the obvious to provide something interesting for movie goers.      Zero Charisma opens in limited release in the US starting tomorrow (Friday Oct 11), and is already available as a VOD selection depending on your cable provider....

Since even before the first hints of a Dragonlance movie surfaced, many people on the net played along with the popular what if scenario: "Who would you cast in a movie?" Here's a great video I recently came across where one person attempts to answer just that question. I really like the use of existing Dragonlance art along with several photos of each actor.

Here's a little something I stumbled on... a fan made trailer for the Dragonlance Chronicles. Considering these guys probably had no budget, it's not too bad.

If you haven't heard, an animated version of the first Dragonlance book, Dragons of Autumn Twilight is coming out on DVD later this year. Here's the first trailer:
