That's the joke from the d&d movie, but the spell also has a duration so you can sleep soundly

Here's some good questions to ask:

What. Is your name? What. Is your quest? What. Is your favorite color? What. Is the capital of Assyria? What. Is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

African or European?

This was the joke in the DnD movie...

[-] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 26 points 20 hours ago

I was really hoping for a post credit scene where some passersby saw the raised dead in the grave and freak out. Asking him something like "are you okay?!“ and he just says, "no, I'm dead" and immediately falls back down.

Just to echo what others have said, it is way better than it has any right to be.

The movie somehow manages to effectively capture the feeling of playing a casual campaign with friends. The story is played completely straight in-universe (as in, there is no outer-level frame narrative of nerds with character sheets gathered around a table), but you can just sense where the tabletop RPG tropes were woven into the plot.

Edit: also to clarify, the specific movie others are describing is D&D: Honor Among Thieves. Not any of the bad D&D movies made in the early 00's.

Hey! Some of those bad d&d movies were.... Well, not good, but still fun

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

I really want them to do another movie with the same cast playing different characters.

The Rock is always The Rock, so no?

I will also recommend watching the bad D&D movies from the 00s. All three of them. Bonus points if you watch it with your D&D group and cracking jokes over it.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The 00's D&D movie is bad. It has terrible writing, bad lore, a bad example of a campaign (main character syndrome like crazy), and is the bad kind of campy. That being said, there's a warm place in my heart for that movie.

The movie was a good D&D movie, but i'm not surprised it bombed. People really don't like that opinion, but it suffers from trying to be a marvel movie so bad, and people are aick of them as well. Personally i didn't really enjoy the movie. The constant quips and disney humor was just too much, and at least for me was a huge distraction from the story and worldbuilding. The movie literally did the "i'm glad he's on our side", the movie felt like it had a laugh track. I get why people like it, i wanted to like it more, but i'll never watch it again, and i wouldn't watch a sequel

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago

You should. Something tells me you'll like the jokes in it.

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago

I can vouch for the dnd movie hard, I went in because my dad made me, and I was ready for it to be garbage. My only real complaint is druid wild stape doesn't work like that RAW. It really was quite excellent.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

There's definitely room for Rule of Cool. I always allow Druids to do magical beasts, with the caveat of "I can say no if shenanigans".

[-] Baggie@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Yeah I feel that, I didn't want to push the rules at the time but I wanted to run a druid with a much bigger emphasis on wild shape, and the movie was pretty close to what I wanted. I'm mainly jealous.

[-] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 6 points 23 hours ago

you should def watch Honor Among Thieves. they did a terrific job of it.

[-] Astatine@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 day ago

You've got something to look forward to, then. It's quite enjoyable.

[-] Son_of_Macha@lemmy.cafe 2 points 20 hours ago

Pants on fire

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

You should! It's fun!

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 11 points 22 hours ago

Doesn't the spell expire after a while?
