I have just recently read the editorial in Dragon 324 & must say, What!?!
< pause for questioning stare >
You have got to be joking. We the Gaming Community should be happy that there is a sequel to the dreaded Dungeons & Dragons movie. Do you really believe what your writing or are you just being paid to print this dribble.
Look, I do agree that it is important to get new faces involved in the Game & being profitable as a business but, come on! The first movie was a black eye to the fans of the game. I still hear people say bad things about this film & this is not a positive for the gaming community. The first movie bombed.
Please, if anyone is reading this, leave Snails in a shallow grave & future movie ideas on the shelf. The Gaming Community & fans of Dungeons & Dragons have their " Gamer Movie " = The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Personally, I think the " Get Back in the Saddle " attitude is not warranted here. Failure can be used as a learning tool. All gamers know this & it's high time our game industry learned it too.
Do the fans a favor & stop this madness before someone gets hurt. Think of the children.
