The trailers and the behind-the-scenes clip I found on youtube sure look good and make me want more. I guess the DVD will have a regional code for North America? Then it is dead for me...

Too bad that the midnight setting books seem not to be available any more...

EDIT: Well, reading the blog first might help finding out about the regional code...

You can still download it from DriveThru RPG. Also the download version includes the HD version plus PDF editions of the complete film script; the Midnight RPG Core Rulebook; and an original Midnight RPG 4e adventure, set within the events of the film.

Warning the HD version took me forever to download, thier site is slow!.

You can get a version with out the PDFs there also for only $9.99.

when is the dvd due out?

Our distributor told us that it was available in their warehouse yesterday, but for some reason, it isn't in their database yet, so it is still listed as a preorder. I expect that status to change today or tomorrow.

I like how it says "never before seen extras".

Um, the entire movie has never been seen before... :D

You had to point that out, right? :-) Of course I had to buy it, it is downloading right now - I guess it will take a few hours.

EDIT: I just discovered that there are many old WoD books as pdfs on DriveThru as well - I just wish that I had more money now...

I've seen it -- while it is like an average SciFi (SyFy) channel strait to TV movie, you can tell it was indeed a labor of love for those who made it.

Frankly, I was surprised I liked it as well as I did. It is the best RPG to Movie film I've yet seen...

i downloaded it last month from drivetru, I myself really liked it, my best friend did not, his arguments are sound, but still i give them credit for the lack of financial backup... still more opinions are in somewhere enar the off-topic threads (movies therad i think)

There is a region 2 version available, indeed was available before Gencon. The lousy news is that is has a different distributor and there are zero extras on the disc. It's certainly available in the UK and I believe there was a french version released, don't know about the rest of Europe.

Is there an updated release date?

It has been out since Gen Con, Looks like Paizo sold out.

You can still download it from Drivethru RPG, another post of mine in this thread gives the link

I expect that our distributor will be getting more back in stock soon. In this economy, they usually order light until something proves itself, so I am not surprised that they are sold out of this DVD already. Fantasy Flight is pretty good at restocking quickly, so check back in a week or so.

Do we know when the DVD will be back in stock?

For those who have seen it, how are the actions scenes? While I enjoyed some of the second D&D movie, I thought the action was poorly choreographed and filmed...

We just made an order directly from Fantasy Flight today. I expect they will hit our warehouse and be available again then.

There actually aren't alot of action scenes. The few that there are tend to be brief and quite similar to the 2nd D&D movie. But if you like the setting, its worth seeing. Just go in with reasonable expectations - its not going to be LOTR, its comparable to straight to video products. The 2nd D&D movie is a good comparison.

I'm probably going to skip this then. There are tons of fantasy videos and movies with good setting and background (Dragonslayer comes to mind). But few have decent action scenes. (I'm talking to you Eregon)

If its on par with D&D 2, that's not a shining endorsement. That puts it in the $2-$5 value.

Tanks for the heads up.

Ah, not quite true... they've been showing it in some form for the past couple of years at GenCon. And it's pretty cool. I think it was supposed to be a TV pilot or something, but I guess they couldn't find anyone to give it a shot.

Yeah, I had heard they were making a series - pity that didn't work out. :(

I just saw this movie, I wasn't expecting much but I was surprised. The story and acting are quite good. I really liked the sets and for those who understand the Midnight Campaign setting, the relative lack of flashy special effects make perfect sense. I do hope that they make another one.

I agree. Definitely worth the price, especially considering the extras that come with it. If a sequel comes along, I'd want to see it.

I just realized that I downloaded the movie two months ago, and never came around watching it - at first, I tried to get it into a format that my DVD player would accept (and failed - my PC kept crashing), and then I was busy with other things and more or less forgot about it. Guess I will try and watch it tonight.
