@@2Bros-OVO well do you honestly expect them to make D&D a mainstream movie for casuals if they made it not a cop out? They make movies to provide entertainment and money, there has to be a middle ground for the broader audience. There would be no point if the movie didn't make money after all.

[@zaberfang]

​@@CoolJoshido212depends on the GM

[@comandantegorrion7271]

This is such a brilliant scene specifically because it is exactly how this interaction goes down every time any party tries to use Speak with Dead. -Party wastes, minimum, 3 questions, usually all of them. -Party has to go through a dozen dead people before getting usable information. -Party asks questions about events that would’ve happened after the individual died. -The GM quickly drops any “dead people” voice after the second or third body dug up. -All but one of the party makes their knowledge checks, the one member of the party that doesn’t immediately tries to hare off on their own. -DM eventually just gives up and tells the party the information they need.

[@elonwhatever]

Yup, exactly that. I had an encounter where my party needed a mage to defeat the magical defenses against teleportation of a keep they needed to infiltrate. The mage was held in a warehouse in the docks with Kuo Toa. This was all the info they bothered to set out with. If they had taken a bit more effort they could have figured out: - The identity of the mage they needed (wasn't even a skillcheck, they just needed to ask the question). - That the warehouse was a factory that they used to make magical constructs out of dead sailors and broken ships. - That the mages in the warehouse were wearing collars that would blow them up if they used magic - That the collars could be unlocked with a control rune - That Kuo Toa were patrolling the premisses and so magical invisibility or shapeshifting would not work. So they first sent out the druid disguised as an albatross to scout, which got immediately shot at. Then they posed as fishermen, got in, almost set off the collar on a mage, managed (by virtue of some god tiers rolls) to convince the overseer to lend them a mage. This mage told them they needed to save a totally different mage for their purpose and when the party suggested helping them free the rest he promptly teleported off. They then went in again, claiming that the mage had managed to steal their control rune and escape while someone else set another part of the warehouse on fire. In the confusion they took the mage they needed and a party member and said mage teleported out, but the rest of the party had blown their cover and the rest of the mages still captive were in danger of dying due to the fire they started. Queue combat where basically the only spell that resolved was counterspell, an angry half finished shipwreck golem shot up more of the warehouse causing even more fire and smoke, and just general pandemonium until the party member and mage that escaped earlier returned to help them and the rest managed to get away. They did save most of the captives though and burnt down the factory. This entire part of the session was planned to be 2 hours tops. Took em 5 :p

The last time my party used Speak with Dead it was a murder mystery with 3 bodies. We ended the session after finding a Cleric that could cast the spell and hiring him. Since we would have travel time and such we were allowed to prepare our 15 questions in advance as well as some alternate questions depending on the responses. It made things go so much more smoothly, plus it was a fun discussion over discord over the week as we debated what questions to ask.

[@Zebulization]

From what I hear, the movie would have done better if Hasborough haden't tried to revoke the D&D open license. Many fans supposidly boycotted the theater release in protest. It took too long for Hasboro to back down, so many fans didn't go, and they didn't stream it either.

[@TraskLargero]

@@Zebulization It wasn't just the OGL (although that was a major factor). Hasbro had been acting scummy for some time at that point and people were fed up with the company. For example the 30th Anniversary of magic the gathering at the end of the year before this came out was a fiasco ($250 pack of cards). They sent the Pinkertons (the company that used to go around Union busting) to someone's house because they messed up. And several other incidents that all just made their fans angry and the backlash was felt by this movie at the box office.

[@MerchantIvoryfilms]

Didn't care for the film, a lot of dull moments i would never re-watch, but this scene 10/10! Wish they could have kept up the creativity with the rest of the story like this.

[@LeandroSantana-c8w]

First Live action footage of the cult of the dragon 0:44 ... Man I would Love a movie centered on them. Maybe a Dracolich Greatwyrm boss.

[@thePyiott]

This is how you do exposition. We learn so much about the world from this scene

[@EternalKvK]

Now that im a DND fan, after Baldurs Gate 3, im starting to watch these DND clips and enjoying them way more. I need to watch the full movie now. :D

[@rexstlong1440]

2:45 this is a nightmare Which is a nightmare the part where the dead rise up from their grave or had to dig up grave to search for the right dead for questioning

[@ELCarnerojrLFDO]

2:49 no... Not really

[@nickthetoycollector3360]

This film surprised me. It was actually good.

[@delvorin1705]

I agree. Saw lots of bad reviews but wanted to check it out because I liked the trailer. Glad I did. Was like watching a table top session. After this and vox machina, want to see more DnD stuff.

[@RikerLovesWorf]

This movie was a breath of fresh air. We need more creative and unique films like this.

[@jodep2403]

i loved that the cartoon characters were in it. (running the maze with them)

[@LaughingBearGames]

This captures actual D&D play so accurately. I was almost crying laughing as a DM watching this the first time.

[@LundeSite]

This movie was better than it deserved to be.

[@myrhev]

It was horrible. Then again, they designed it that way. I mean, when you rewrite things to make sure you emasculate the male leads, what do you expect?

[@williamwolfstein6170]

​@@myrhevYou must be fun at parties

[@loganentertainment1814]

This was the best part of the movie.

[@marethyu_primo7638]

What I love about this movie is that the progression is exactly what a DnD campaign would be: Completely broken and no one knows if Plot point A will effect NPC #361

[@gavinperry8433]

This was such a good movie man ....deserves a sequel

[@CT--gu5ng]

1:50 Yeah, this is me. I hate math so much

[@tsang3213]

Chris Pine always deliver,he deserve more love

[@petradragun2341]

True. I agree

[@Kalah_]

This is very much how Speak with Dead works in DnD sessions. :D

[@lionpoke]

Know nothing about D&D and now after spending over 200 hours in baldurs gate 3 I feel like I can start down the rabbit hole with this movie

[@Dxco31]

this is exactly me when i play dnd and my friend use speak to the dead spell without reading the guidebook and our DM trolling him because he didn't know the spell rules

[@eddieford9373]

The first guy just wanted to go back to being dead.

[@noquad824]

"The corpse regards you lifeless"

[@carsonc29]

this movie was actually much better than I thought it was gonna be

[@robinpo9168]

1:49😂

[@michaelbarton4705]

My wife and I loved this movie! Pleasantly surprised for sure!!

[@zoroarkking18]

I was dying with laughter watching this entire scene. I thought the "where's the shovel" part was them about to re-bury the coffin they dug up. Turns out they hadn't even gotten started lol

[@amar.mohamed]

I felt like this movie was very underrated. Such a nice and fun film that doesnt take itself too seriously

[@aciarduce]

The trailer showing this immediately made me want to see the movie. It looked hilarious. The scene was 10 times better than we though. Funny, informational.

[@hunkabubba]

Man, when that first bit was advertised on tiktok, i coudnt stop laughing. Now it just brings a smile to my face.

[@FoxtaleHi]

Me playing baldurs gate 3 making sure I ask the right questions to the dead before they give up

[@sidneysun5217]

should've asked him these 3 questions what is your name? what is your quest? what is your favorrite color?

[@Schmidt54]

Basically The Gamers but with a budget :D :D I liked that movie!

[@ayt3877]

"Does that count as a question?" "Yes." "Damn it!" Classic.

[@skullyskaric7779]

2:24 the worse...way to die like that...poor dude didn't deserve that sort of tragic.

[@natetwehues2428]

This scene is what convinced me D&D fans wrote the script. This is the sort of stuff a real adventuring group gets up to.

[@stormtempterf8058]

I'd like to give props for having a...hard to tell with what little time it was on screen, but I'm guessing a Green dragon, breathing acid on everyone in the battle rather than the standard red fire dragon

[@toomanyaccounts]

black

[@BlazeMakesGames]

yeah it's a black dragon, you can tell by the horn shape

[@Chips_and_Gears]

Green dragons breathe poison gas Black ones are the ones that breathe acid

[@mrpuss2519]

The council of Nerds banishes you!!

[@stormtempterf8058]

Appreciate the correction. I knew I shouldve pulled my Draconomicon or Monster Manual out, lol. Still, nice to have alternatives to the 'fire dragon' trope. Now we need to get some metallic dragons in play, and show that these dragons aren't just beasts but ancient, wise, sometimes sinister, sometimes benevolent sentient beings. Maybe a conflict between the chromes and metals.

[@jeziscrust5793]

It never really dawned on me how this is literally a group playing DnD but from only the perspective of the characters. As the characters don't know they're in a game, but you can pretty much tell when a roll is happening "in real life" with how they paced things.

[@danielshea9869]

Reminded me a bit of Hellboy, but this film was so much fun.

[@rexstlong1440]

Hellboy was asking for a guide

[@tucan6376]

the "don't you feel better?" "no" without a second's pause in between fuckin sent me

[@OneLoneMan]

You notice even though he’s supposed to be a Paladin he didn’t use lay on hands to save the guy.

[@toomanyaccounts]

lay on hands isn't a cheat death ability

[@OneLoneMan]

@@toomanyaccounts do you even play D&D?

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@OneLoneMan yes. it has limits. the comic has Xenk inspect the wounds and determines he cannot save the guy with his abilities

[@OneLoneMan]

@@toomanyaccounts bs, you can live in D&D with one hit point. Lay on hands heal up to 15 hp before you need long rest.

[@toomanyaccounts]

@@OneLoneMan lol! 1hp doesn't mean you cannot die to magic dot, bleeding, or internal damage unless you got some brain damaged dm

[@CitizenKahne1992]

You know that first corpse knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted out as quickly as possible.

[@dallascomstock8471]

Amazed that this was actually very good...After the movie from 2000 and the others that followed, I expected garbage...

[@jascrandom9855]

Game adaptations are suddenly getting good recently.

[@brosplit]

​@@jascrandom9855still only a few imo; D&D, Mario & TLOU.

[@evanlongfellow6849]

@@brosplitNot to mention Sonic.

[@MrKogline]

This happened to a new group of mine who were brand new to D&D. A few days later we watching this in theaters and they were laughing so hard because they just did this.

[@mamaruru1308]

If they asked "fifth question, right?" a little louder, it could've gone the same way as for the first guy :D heard a question that wasn't meant for him and it counts.

[@Kyra-qn3nh]

This movie was such a banger. The use of practical effects? Chef's kiss.
