I saw the movie

[dymondy2k]

I liked it so much I saw it twice!! My wife also LOVED Themberchaud because he reminded both of us of our Chonky cat Panthro. For a D&D movie I thought it was well executed, funny in all the right spots and gave a nod to those of us familiar with the Forgotten Realms and D&D lore. I'm hoping for two things out of this, maybe more movies AND since its Paramount who did the movie, maybe we can see a live action series of some sort on Paramount+. I can't convince others to go see it but I was glad I did.

why do I have a feeling Ed Greenwood is not seeing a single penny of royalties for this?

[dymondy2k]

He sold the rights to FR for $5000.

I thought he only sold publishing rights

That's pretty low for the rights to an entire setting, right?

I believe there were health issues and he needed money, and it was when a certain woman was CEO of TSR and they became even MORE predatory toward the creatives...

Yikes.

As a side note, I recently discovered Greenwood's YouTube channel. I believe it's mainly clips from livestreams, but it's pretty neat to hear about the Realms from its creator. He has a video on Honour Among Thieves that I am yet to watch, too.

He's a crotchety SOB sometimes but he is fun to listen to.

Hey! he's less crotchety than me! er maybe I shouldn't randomly run about admitting things like that

Definitely less crotchety than Phil Foglio.
