A live D&D TV show! Yes! Yes, you too get to watch as one of your cherished geekish diversions get cynically ravaged by people who don’t really care for the source material. It’s a right of passage, honestly. You should be flattered.
And what are they doing, exactly? Well… “There aren’t any official details on the project yet, but it’s been rumored in the past that the story “might be” centered on a popular drow ranger character named Drizzt Do’Urden. It’s been speculated that the show could focus on “Drizzt’s early life growing up in the drow city of Menzoberranzan, also known as the city of Spiders.””
…Yeah. That mixed feeling of reluctant interest, tempered by looming dread? That’s part of the creative process. Don’t worry about it – no, seriously, don’t. It’s not like you can do anything about it anyway.
I enjoyed those books.
Bugger.
It doesn’t compare to the horror of OGL 1.1, but I did have to massage my temples.
They’re going to desecrate Dragonlance next, aren’t they?
They had me at Drizzt. I will give them at least a three-episode chance. I realize that I will probably be given a product that will disappoint me and make me wonder why I suddenly feel like Charlie Brown kicking the football, but I am willing to take that chance.
Not really familiar with Drizzt or the Dragonlance books but it seems like every time they try to do fantasy, they wind up nose-down in a swamp. I think I’ll wait until I hear what you guys think before I stick my head into this one.
