Sadly, I have never played Dungeons & Dragons proper. I’ve played video game versions. I’ve sat in on some games my friends were running while I was there visiting. But I’ve never had the opportunity to sit down with a group of friends and play a full game. I think I’d be great, I think I would love it; but life has not yet found the way for me to play. I’ve got to live with that.

And while I do, I’ll go see the new movie, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, in the theaters in a couple of months.

I think the movie looks really fun. I don’t know how well it will do in the theaters, but they’ve got a good cast, good CGI, and a real plethora of things and gewgaws from the games to really flesh it out. I think that’s exactly what is needed. Hopefully it’s enough to keep audiences interested. Who wouldn’t enjoy a movie franchise along these lines? Critical Role is doing good work with the idea in their live shows and their Vox Machina cartoon. Why couldn’t another one succeed as well?

Though the new movie probably won’t have Critical Role’s charisma…

Anyway, Honor Among Thieves comes to theaters on March 31, which will be here before you know it.
