DAMSELS AND DUNGEONS SORCERESS SERIES

Brought into the fray are Simon (Justice Smith), a sorcerer still learning the ropes, and Doric (Sophia Lillis), a shape-shifting druid with an unapologetic tongue. Chris Pine plays Edgin, a charming bard and master thief who has befriended Holga (Michelle Rodriguez), a Barbarian warrior. The story follows a ragtag group of heroes in search of a tablet that has the power to bring back life. Instead, it thematically explores love, loss, family, friendship, and choice wrapped in a period piece of enjoyable characters, monstrous beasts, fire-breathing dragons, magical wizards, and awe-inspiring scenery. Better, the story doesn’t neglect the viewers who have never played the game with plot points you’d need to reference a Player’s Handbook to understand.

DAMSELS AND DUNGEONS SORCERESS SERIES

The franchise has spun its own film series with Dungeons & Dragons (2000), Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God (2005), and Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness (2012), albeit to lukewarm results.ĭungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves from directors John Daley and Jonathan Goldstein changes all that with a fresh take that combines Guardians of the Galaxy-style humor with plenty of Easter Eggs D&D fans will love.

But D&D has a long history of inspiring television series and films. First rolled out in 1974 by co-creators Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, it’s shifted from friends playing in basements to the public lexicon, in part, from the popularity of shows like Stranger Things, which has its characters rolling 20-sided die in their own version of the fantasy game. Dungeons and Dragons, or D&D as it’s more commonly called, is the king wizard of role-playing games.
