D&D: Honor Among Thieves is, in my opinion, the single best gaming-related franchise adaptation to film, hands down.
It’s genuinely a well written adventure-comedy with fantastic characterizations and acting, on top of really understanding the heart of what it feels like to be in a D&D campaign, and an appropriate handful of in-jokes for those in the know.
Highly recommended to anyone who hasn’t seen it. I’ve watched it multiple times, including with people who have no interest in D&D.
Agreed 100%. The writers and director (Dr Sweets from Bones) really knew what makes D&D so interesting and fun. The Best D&D joke in the movie is the Speak with Dead scene. A close second would be the “natural 1” of the Major Illusion of Edgin distracting the guards.
I also have a very soft spot for found family stories, and this movie makes me cry every time I watch it.
+1 to all of this.
The other joke that gets me ever time is the paladin walking in a straight line bit. It just completely nails the ethos of many paladin players
Yessss! I almost mentioned that but felt I was putting too much into the post already lol. Xenk walking off over the rock was such a funny moment.
I’d also highly recommend HarmonQuest for similar reasons.
It was incredibly entertaining, despite having a major logic hole.
That said, mechanically it makes a better Draw Steel movie. Whatsisface is a troubadour, angry lady is a fury, nature girl is a green elementalist, and sadboi is a talent.
Honestly, if I could upvote this twice, I would. I had very low expectations for that movie and came out incredibly impressed.
