The Speak With Dead scene I thought was well done, and the heist and sneaking into the carriage I thought was a very D&D plan…

“But we approved your pardon!”

Simple, hilarious, and sounds like the DM response rather than the character.

The fat dragon is what really landed the movie for me. That? That was a DM decision, based on the players and the DM being memelords. Straight from the tabletop.

It really just demonstrated that the whole movie is a DnD campaign (agglomerate homebrew) with extremely high production value, and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

So many parts

The failing illusion check when trying to sneak into the castle

“Jarnathan!”

The dude walking a straight line right over the rock.

And the fact that they made a D&D movie that was all around fantastic. Like whatever that uwe boll movie that happened earlier has now been rectified.

The chase scene where the druid constantly wildshaped was amazing. Also Themberchaud.

I loved so many parts🤩

„Jarnathan!“

The Paladin NPC walking away in a straight line

The melting face of the singing illusion

The speak with dead spell, like the whole scene: where they realize how arbitrary it is that it’s dive questions, how many people they have to wake up, the questions they ask and of course how they forget one🙈😂

Just such a great movie :) I hope there will be more :)

I fucking loved the Themberchaud scenes and Chancellor Jarnathan. Honestly the entire movie sounded like an IRL game, I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much.

“Chancellor Jarnathan enters the chamber -”

“I GRAB JARNATHAN AND JUMP OUT THE WINDOW”

"…Roll a grapple check. Goddamnit.

Lmao

There’s so many great scenes, like the Intellect Devourers completely ignore the party, and the fact that all of their classes use intelligence as a dump stat. Or how fantastically shot that entire escape from the tower sequence was. Or how clever the intentionally jumping into the gelatonus cube was…

But my absolute favorite scene was when the paladin was walking away and Edgin said oh no there’s a rock in his way, will he go around? And he walks straight up and over it. It had us dying, we had to pause it because we laughing so hard.

I loved the build up in the beginning, the chains, all the guards looking nervously at this big brute. Then he walks in to the cell and gets absolutely destroyed by Holga.

She clearly rolled a 20 on her kick him in the knees attack, from that point on the encounter is over. Also Edgin calmly discussing the poor choice he made by touching her potato.

I also thought it was very well done, bringing the potato gag back at the end of the movie.

Probably the bridge. DM crafted such an amazing puzzle and the paladin being a good boy learned it perfectly. Group was like: You know it’d be fun to see what the DM does if I accidentally put my foot on it.

Also the five questions. You could see that coming from MILES away but it was still hilarious.

I loved the camaraderie of the characters. It reminded me of playing DnD when I was in middle school. It made me wish I knew people who played now, I would love to get into it again. Fun times.

I just loved that it actually felt like D&D

Loved the “fresh cut grass smell” bit. My party was grinning since it reminded them of all the shitty magic tricks I pulled off during our last campaign.

We loved the movie, it really captured the spirit of our games.

“Just because your sentence was symmetrical doesn’t mean it’s not nonsense”

I liked the small cameos in the maze battle scene. The characters from the 1980’s cartoon show made an appearance, even if they didn’t say anything.
