I am kind of surprised that "D&D: Honor Among Thieves" isn't getting as much [tumblr] love as it deserves. This is my contribution:

  • Everyone involved-- writer, actor, director, wardrobe, camera, EVERYONE-- understood the assignment.
  • There is no attempt to apologize for the fact that it's an ensemble fantasy comedy-adventure movie.
  • The plot is clever without being Too Clever. All of the major twists are well-telegraphed, and while it surprises you in a couple of places, it doesn't try to shock you.
  • Given that the archetypes of the fantasy genre came to us from Tolkein, Dungeons & Dragons, and Tolken-by-way-of-D&D, you will not need any context for the game and the lore that is not provided by the film itself. If you aren't familiar with the lore, there are no jokes or plot points you will miss.
  • If you are familiar with the Lore, there are references galore, but they're not fan service, they're the byproduct of the fact that the movie is set in a known location in a richly developed world. For example, despite that the fact that it's set in Neverwinter, at no point do any characters utter the phrase "Neverwinter Nights".
  • If there must be a negative comparison to the game, it's that no Dungeon Master alive could get a party to stick to the plot that well. They'd have gotten off track at the battlefield and the bard would have tried to seduce the Red Witch. Or everyone would have tried to adopt Themberchaud.

My mother, who understands D&D only as that loud nerd event which takes over the dining room four nights a month, loved the movie.

Hey if you ever feel that your opinions on something are silly or dumb or too much for one random subject that doesn't really matter just remember! there are people out there who are monarchists in 2023. it can't possibly be as bad as that

Your opinions on fanfiction may be a wee bit extreme or ridiculous but at least you don't believe in the divine right of kings #positivity
