Jack Cicks Dark Dungeons The Movie is coming

[CapeCodRPGer]

Its on kickstarter

Not sure if this is anti RPG or paradoy showing how dumb Dark Dungeons is.

[Mikaze]

I want Christopher Walken as Blackleaf.

[Shifty]

I think he's hoping for the next big scenester funny film and be the next 'Dead Gentlemen' :)

[Lord Snow]

This kickstarter really seems to be tounge-in-chick ;)

I couldn't tell whether he was serious or making a parody. Either way it isn't something I would support.

[Kirth Gersen]

The bit about getting to play "RPGs are Evil: The Role-Playing Game" was sort of a giveaway.

[Forgottenprince]

That's my take too.. I'm inclined to pledge something, but I have an interesting sense of humor sometimes.

[Kobold Catgirl]

I just hope they don't forget that Debbie wants to be Debbie, not Elfstar. That was really important in her character motivation.

[Kirth Gersen]

If I got a high enough level of sponsorship to add stuff to the script, I'd add a "d" to KC's observation. Then Debbie would want to bed Elfstar, which could be hawt.

[Pan]

I couldn't take him serious with that black shirt, black tie combo.

Read the FAQ:
"What is your favorite type of comedy?

I really like Stephen Colbert and the Onion. When a comedian really knows his material and can present a situation that sounds pretty ludicrous but instead of just jumping up and down and saying, "I'm making fun of this!" he instead presents it completely strait-faced and in a serious manner while never breaking character, that is when true comedic genius can occur."

As I say in my video, you cannot PARODY a work of this magnitude. You have to present a sincere retelling of the comic without editorializing, with as much oomph and drama and authority as he possibly can put in within the _limits of the source material_.

This is a real movie that I am really trying to get made. The Kickstarter campaign to raise money for it is serious and will resort in real life movie that you can play on your TV and will hopefully have a world premier at Orycon. My intention is to make Dark Dungeons the movie as _true to the spirit and word_ of Dark Dungeons the comic as Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is to Tolkien's work.

Also, my stretch goal is to include Cthulhu.

This one line alone speaks volumes. :)

Plus, how can one say 'no' to Cthulhu?

[Tirisfal]

The initiation has to stay just as it is in the tract:

*SCENE*

"I've brought Elfstar to become a priestess and a witch."
"Welcome, Elfstar. You're now a priestess of the craft, and of the Temple of Diana"

*END SCENE*

Reality tries to do so constantly, but alas...

I think that's a little NC-17 for these boards, Snow.

I think you could make a parody of this work...but it would not be as funny as a sincerer retelling of it.

[GeraintElberion]

Well, I laughed.

[hogarth]

HAW HAW!

[DJEternalDarkness]

Oh good gods, I had to kick in for this. This frankly looks hilarious and awesome!

[Jack Chick]

This is a very important work. This film will really help get the message of the dangers of Dungeons & Dragons out to a whole new generation of impressionable youngsters. We need to make sure they're engaging in wholesome activities like unprotected sex instead.
