Okay the D&D movie is not just worthwhile but very worthwhile. Biggest positive, no spoiler; it was very much everyone contributing from a 4 character party, which is way more D&D than any of the prior movies.
@chimerror I wouldn’t be surprised if they did play a few games as prep, just to know the feel of the movie! All of them come across as the sort of actors who’d be okay with something aimed at getting them more character and context.
@Leucrotta I heard a cool thing is that they actually had the actors roll up characters which they played in a few sessions before filming and became their movie characters
which is dope and I bet why I keep hearing good things about it
