    It’s a fun movie. Maybe not a great movie, but fun to watch. My family doesn’t play TTRPGs, but they liked it too.

      There are scenes where you can very much see the rolls being made and how the “players” are dealing with them. And I like that a lot about it.

        I haven’t stopped to verify, but in the battle at the end, they apparently all attack in initiative order each lasting about six seconds. It’s those little attention to detail bits that make it fun for players, on top of being enjoyable for non-players as a fantasy action movie.

          Yep, and you can tell what spells they’re using pretty often (obviously adapted for screen) without someone yelling “Your Maximillion’s Earthen Grasp is no match for my Bigby’s Hand!” so it’s fun as a player to see that as well.

        And also the parts where the GM is going “this would make the scene better even though it doesn’t work that way” like the scene in the graveyard.

    So, like 5 comments saying it’s a good movie, and not a single comments, nor the title of the post, or the post itself, mention the name of the movie.

    Wtf am I looking at?

        How could anyone “figure that out” if they didn’t know the film? 😁🤣

          I’ll be honest: I’ve never seen the movie, but I have seen enough references to it and memes made from screenshots of it that I instantly guessed what it was. The fact that we’re in rpgmemes did help.

        Absolutely not. I fucking loved this movie. It pivots between things a few times and they’re all interesting. It’s got humor too. It really captures what a d&d campaign feels like.

    Such an unexpectedly good movie. You should definitely watch.

    And oh my God do I love that fat dragon more than anything…

    It’s really a very good movie. The best thing about it is feels like an actual session being filmed. You can almost tell when the rolled a 0 and when they rolled a 20.

      The best scene was where one character was in handcuffs and kept rolling too low to get out and the camera kept switching from one character who was doing awesome stunts back to them doing nothing useful the whole fight.

        Yep, and at some point the DM lost his patience with the group and introduced a friendly OP NPC (the paladin) to get the story rolling already.

          Nah, that wasn’t an NPC, that was a friend who showed up for only a week. That’s why they asked him if they would see him again before he left.

            Also possible, yes. The way he almost acted like a robot at the end was a dig at him being an NPC, I thought. But it could also be a dig at Paladins always being straightforward, literally. That’s the great thing about the movie, many gags work on several levels.

          Another meme I enjoyed was that the DM made up that the hither thither staff was magic just so they could cross the bridge and then the party proceeds to break a poorly thought out, unintentionally over powered item.

        The best part about that scene is that while he’s fumbling his escape rolls, Edgin’s still churning out Bardic Inspiration so Holga can continue kicking ass.

        “OH, we got 'em now!”
