Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves | NEW Trailer (2023 Movie) 

ok

This is like Guild Wars and Muinen Saga had a baby

That's a nat 1 perception check right there

They didn't even make an insight roll even though they had the rogue. 😄

@Tyler Dickey wizards have low perceptions too, compared to the proficiency bonuses the other classes get.

Same.

Gives hardcore taika vibes

Yes....

That's the most Hugh Grant thing Hugh Grant has said in a movie lately.

BBEG Talk for sure

Yes

even better when you can see the bard/thief can always escape from the binds as they could literally just slip their hands out and is just avoiding the fight.

Agreed. Bard being useless is combat is such a fun meme.

@Malaficus Shaikan Not Exactly, as he was spitting out inspiration the whole time!

But he didn't try to seduce the guard

Same, i went only because my friends called me. Wasnt intetested at all. Today i went again alone to rewatch it. Great movie

oof. Although to be fair the majority of comments I've read so far seem to be digging the trailer at least.

✝️ LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN! ✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin! 🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life! 💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!

@RICO PARADISE no

I find irony is a blade that cuts he who wields it most especially.

And I would love to see some actual dice throwing, and skill checks

Some of the fights: Dungeons & Dragons: Avengers.

🧡

That last scene screams of a failed perception roll.

@Anhilliator1 He looks like he dumped Wisdom anyways 🤣

True. But the percentage of the crowd paying to see the movie being part of the "D&D crowd" will be miniscule.

I saw a Mimic in there!

​@Michael Dobson are the people who watch other people play dnd part of that crowd?

@Elaysea Baker A rather large portion of the viewers won't even know that this is based upon the D&D game (or even know what D&D is, or care.) Most will simply view it as another Hollywood Fantasy film. You see this a lot with films that are based on books/games. Many of the viewers will not have read the books, or are familiar with the games, and only realize the film is based upon a novel or a game when the opening credits begin. For example, Ryan Gosling in "The Notebook." A lot of people went to see that because of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, both very popular actors at the time. Few moviegoers would have previously read the romance novel it was based on. Same with Mel Gibson and "We Were Soldiers." How many moviegoers read that book (written by an obscure, retired Army general) before the movie came out? Cheers.

Which is the true experience really

@John Peacekeeper 24 years of D&D experience says I agree wholeheartedly!

So in other words, it's shite.

@John Peacekeeper And that's the beauty of it.

You know, the original 2000's D&D movie has the same vibe and it bombed with a 3.6/10 on IMDB lol

@Zeemis Cool, hopefully this one's better

@Skulltan Its not

@Zeemis This... Humor has it's place...but this looks just like that 2000 D&D movie, same vibe as Thor: Love and Thunder... People saying "this looks good" are on crack...

From the trailer, I don't think it will be better than the 2000s version.

That is actually... kind of perfect.

Huh? Talk about easily amused

that’d be great, I kinda wanna see either the actors or like big names if they do that. (i.e. mercer, lee mulligan, Iyengar)

@Lime the Director as DM with other production staff as players would be cool as well

And Matt Mercer is the DM!

MUST

Honestly the part at 1:19 is pretty much like that

I mean, that's "I may have triggered the mechanism," right?

There is a scene that actually rolled a 20..... You will see it when you watch the film.

The barbarian constantly failing charisma checks was great. Not to mention how they react to the villains monolog is 1000% "barbarian player"

The portal gun- whatever it was actually called, can't remember- particularly has scenes that were clever in a relatable way

What did you expect? Turn based combat?

I love a sci-fi moving that's silly and fun but taken seriously at production. I had a great time watching Guardians of the Galaxy and I've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

@Cheese4G You know it's sometimes difficult to tell sarcasm from being serious when it's just dry text, right? So no, i didn't. And if you still have faith in humanity - grow up. Good night.

@Cheese4G Dude, how boring is your life if you're so focused on this nonsense?

@Tiny Renegheid Pot calling kettle black. lol

The only thing that could complete it is if the characters take it really seriously at first until they start to realize the outcome won’t change either way.

Crap?

Woe to the DM who wants to run a serious game

Indeed. He is already my favorite. Followed by the druidess.

I get the feeling that the super serious Paladin dude is the DMPC/NPC that's guiding them. Sort of going so far into seriousness to egg the players on into being even more goofy.

@ProfGiles u are correct! he surely is just an npc!

@Ana Samira And a Badass NPC. My Personal Favorite of the bunch believe it or not since Paladins are my Main in DnD

@Simoun O'Brien if u are not serious and badass u are playing paladins wrongs!

Seriously, players jumping out of the way of a Displacer Beast into a Gelatinous Cube is just PEAK D&D.

Your gonna have to share the likes of this post with hasbro

Wait until it comes out on DVD. We need this movie to fail so hasbro knows we're not OK with them turning d&d into Fortnite.

@unB10 this looks like an awesome fantasy movie what are you smoking

@Thomas Madden I'm not talking about the movie, I'm talking about the game itself. Wizards of the coast is actively working to destroy d&d by turning it into a microtransaction heavy subscription based video game. Everyone is protesting by canceling their d&d beyond subscriptions and boycotting the movie.

No dump stats needed if you can just make it up 😁

I get the feeling YT is hiding the real comments.

@Taylor C Same

Justice Smith has been confirmed to play a Sorcerer, not a Wizard. But otherwise you got all of them right.

Yeah, Half-elf is a sorcerer. Also, Hugh Grant's character is a rogue.

@storyteller0111 really? I thought he was supposed to be Dagult Neverember, who’s class is Fighter

@xDracolich Nah, his name is Forge Fitzwilliam and he's definitely a rogue :) This takes place after Neverember's rule, if I got the implications of some of the directors' comments right.

Though I will admit... I knew I was going to miss Top Gun: Maverick in theaters. That was disappointing, but I can watch it whenever now. This will probably be added to my collection as well.

Same, just watched it today without ever having played D&D or knowing about the lore, but I loved the movie.

The story is in the Manual. If I played “Hungry Hungry Hippos” with my friends in a deathly serious way, is it right to assume that everyone else did the same and therefore the movie must be that way? Stop saying that making this thing “superdumb” was the “right thing” because that’s how you played D&D with your friends, I don’t believe you did, specially with those suspiciously $hort comments and the pronouns in your profiles that are used by people that hate nerd stuff. Just like any other board game, everyone has a different experience every single time you played it, even if you do it with the same group of friends. Movies are meant to be for the general audience that didn’t played them exactly like you did, and quite probably didn’t even played it at all. BUT there is one element that is totally objective and every single person that ever played the game experienced exactly the same way as everyone else, The MANUAL, The MANUAL which is not subjective as your defense is. Every detail about the characters and their world is in the manual and is written seriously, there is no goofy “comedy” in it all. What they are doing here is mocking the seriousness of the source material from their very subjective and narcissistic point of view. If they had followed the manual instead, or the books, or comics that were written afterwards, they could had filled the expectations of the biggest part of the audience. That’s why your statement is utter stupid. You still want things that don’e belong to you, to reflect you.

@Hiair chill dude, most campaigns are played in a similar manner and are played by people that overall want to have fun. It’s just going with that energy

I have played a serious campaign or two in my 15 years of tabletop... and they're basically like this

@Hiair Dude, who hurt you this badly?

Same. I just hope it isnt woke. As long it isnt woke i will enjoy it for being d&d.

@Malaficus Shaikan There's not even a black character in it. Your fears are irrational.

@Sam S. there is. weren’t u paying attention …?

@Malaficus Shaikan I have a bad feeling about it. I just hope is not too much wokeness

You should feel guilty supporting WotC

Kas the blood handed has to be in the movie

Including the humour?

SHOW ME STRAHD :oD

And Vin Diesel playing some sort of Fighter type.. to go with the Barbarian.. since they both play D&D together on the set of all the Fast and Furious movies..

Nice

Why?

Nice 👍😀

@BottlethrowerIt looks good?

nice

Almost every joke in the trailer was on the nose and not funny at all lol

@Resul Baggio 🤷‍♂️

@Resul Baggio You probably think Big Mouth is peak comedy.

@WorkdayFiddle what does big mouth have anything to do with this trailer? You tried to be funny and edgy, yet failed miserably lol. Also, if you think this is funny, then you def think middle school level jokes are pure comedy

the Red Wizards of Thay have been around a long time. But the imagery is apt.

Does appear they are using Red wizards of Thay. Red robes, bald heads, necromancers. Almost forgot the tattoos. A Forgotten Realms setting hopefully.

@Craig Wiess If that is a Red Wizard then it has to be Forgotten Realms. Although I would love to see a non-Faerun Forgotten Realms story

I'm looking for a Szass Tam cameo

@OldSchool Looked to be him in the trailer, honestly. Red lich, but I guess it could've been a few.

They have a half-elf and a tiefling

@terranova1203 Yeah but it seems like their goal with the teifling was to make her look like Black Widow, which is disappointing. Like they decided the different races were too weird for average audience and forgot who they were marketing for.

I would've like them to added more Faye creatures. Adding a fairy would've made for some hilarious flying sequences.

@VioletOpal I'm more disappointed we haven't got alot of Sophia Lillis in the trailer aside from the whole making plans and Owl Bear clip.

They do though

Just smells of a cheeky player "I cut my rope on the edge of the stairs!" "You sure? ....your friend knocked out someone with an axe" "Stairs are good"

I just assume the bard doesn't need hands to cast spells, like Vicious Mockery or giving out inspiration, that explains it.

​@Sweaty Drug Clearly, he was using an oratory bardic performance to inspire courage. "Oh, we got 'em now."

Didn't ask the DM if there were blades to cut with haha

Bet

TLOVM?

@Isoquant The Legend of Vox Machina

Player: Umm... is that ok? *DM reading the rule book* DM: Yeah, I allowed.

😂 it also got me

I so stealing that line for one of the villains in my campaign.

Reminds me of Ben Kingsley in Sneakers: "I meant what I said, I can't kill my friend." (turns to henchmen) "You! Kill my friend."

LOL

yeah, 2 sessions ago my newb players threw a torch at a pit because i told them it was pitch black inside. Turns out a black pudding was inside

If blink dogs are used to fight the displacer beast… swoon.

scene at 1:36

Same. I fear the movie wont be as good as the trailer.

It was a lot of fun and, yes, you can absolutely see the "rolls" they make. Barbarian failing her charisma checks (obviously), Sorcerer messing up his concentration checks, etc. The whole film has the tone of a group of friends playing D&D

​@Hard Romeo the nat 20 potato throw was my absolute favorite

@Cat Poke Not to mention that is absolutely what the barbarian player would do during the villain monolog

As someone who lately cut a 20-meters rope into a half, instead of just normally untieing the other Player, I agree. It wasn't even in a hurry or in a fight. He was unconscious and was tied to a horse. My mind just instantly went "Cut it" and so I did - then realized afterwards... Edit: cut with a Sword, to avoid any confusion

cap

and failing to notice the rope is loose and you can just pull your hands out. Sorry but a bard should know how to pull out... I will leave the room now for this joke...

@Kadar you earned my like

@Crow259 thank you 😀

I see what you're doing there, and I approve

And eOne won most of all. Well played

Hell yeah!! Good for my friend.

What was the context behind his situation?

Yes.

Hasbro execs; _"Let's make another D&D Comedy movie."_ Clueless Boomer Shareholders; _"We'll Green light it, because the Last one w/ Marlon Wayans worked out so well."_

Yup. Its pretty sad because I've been a fan of WoTC, and I'm not giving them any more money. I'll definitely still watch this IF it's free, but for now ima forget about it.

Its been released. It is irrevocable AND they made the entire SRD 5.1 Creative Commons with attribution. It's better than before this whole thing - except for burning our trust.

@Scott Zielinski it's gonna take a while before we earn their trust, the movie could be a good start, but until then at least we got Legend of Vox Machina Season 2

Yep, that comes from Hollywood's love affair with lawlessness and disorder.

this seems like the type of movie that will indeed have that cliche

I'm 39 and I understand

the 3rd live action one was pretty accurate

@toomanyaccounts what year was that one?

48 here and agree

@dubbeatdown Dungeons & Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness was in 2012. search youtube for The Undead Girl (D&D3) to see a representation of a Slay Mate

You should watch The Legend of Vox Machina then, it has real vibe of medieval Guardians of the Galaxy

I was surprised to learn that that was actually a character in the lore and not just something they made up for the movie.

I remember reading a theory somewhere online that the bard will be the strongest by the end

@Josh Albiston He'll just fuck around the whole movie for the memes then cast wish in the final battle

@Josh Albiston I sure hope so. Bards can be an absolute beast (sometines literally) in the battlefield and pull off such clutch moves that save the Party's asses. And I would like to see Chris Pine portray that.

wield a Harper's pin

There can be non-magical bards too.

SHILL HARDER PLEASE! Talk about how it has "that D&D energy" because it is so campy or whatever

Because there's frequently one player not paying attention or doesn't wait when the situation is being explained.

Yeah that adds up to me

It's just like this. Michelle Rodriguez and Chris Pine come over, and everyone has a great time.

This is actually pretty accurate to how many TTRPG/D&D games turn out. It looks like a great film, but quite a shame for the time it's coming out. With the controversy of the new OGL/boycott I don't think it'll do very well in theaters.

@Kadel if it’s as entertaining as the trailer I think it will be fine. For it to succeed it needs far more than core RPG gamers who are the only ones who care about the recent stuff regarding licensing.

Me too

Don't punish the hard working individuals who made this movie because of the decision of a select few powerful idiots.

I’m pretty sure wizards has nothing to do with this movie anyway at least in terms of creative direction

Outside of granting the license a few years ago, WOTC/Hasbro had very little to do with this. They're absolutely going to (and are) selling D&D merch for it such as minis and will even likely have a companion sourcebook of some sort - those are the ones you should avoid buying. Hollywood accounting being what it is, WOTC/Hasbro will likely not make much from this movie

Don't.

Agreed.

And why do people need to make money off of someone else's IP to do that? Cant they just do it for free, like modifications to any other game that you're not allowed to profit off of
