It's a Hasbro movie but I don't know of official toys. I bet miniature painters are personalizing their own figures now tho, hair or not, haha
Oh from the clip of the DND toon cameos, there's only probably three or two more short scenes where they appear fleetingly. Only the last has some plot significance but very slight.
Huh. Guess he was a rogue then. No magic powers.

Carries around a lute the whole movie, sings multiple times, and has a backstory emphasizing information gathering undercover as a tavern musician- gee, must be a rogue.
Insightful, observant, and well-informed analysis as always, bobo
Did you think I was talking about Chris Pine?
Hugh Grant is the one they called a Con Man in the movie.
I have to ask, how does it roll?
Movie has very high RT critic and audience scores.

There's a few wonky plot elements that don't make sense if you think too hard about them but overall it does a great job hitting all the "if you know you know" notes in regards to D&D lore and there isn't a single thing I can think of that is absurdly stupid. I really didn't expect it to be that good. It's the best D&D brand movie by a large margin
I did an analysis of the black dragon die by rolling it 200 times. It wasn't too far off true, but some numbers did come up way too often to be chance (IIRC 8 was really common).
The beholder mold is very unfair, due to the fact two faces are rounded with scale patterns rather than being flat. It's almost impossible to roll a 1 or 2 on the beholder.

Alright so I was able to get my map.
They did something terrible though and I don't know if it's the theater or the studio or what, but they had this THING BEFORE the movie that was one of those media sit down things where the cast is on a panel talking about what they loved most about the movie and all that. But it was interlaced with footage from the movie that were basically every key scene in the movie and it was full of spoilers. If I hadn't already watched it I would be even more pissed.
So if you go see it and you see this segment after or during the trailers don't look at the screen at all.

It’s your penance for seeing the film so early.
Because of my work schedule, I’ll have to wait until NEXT week to see it!

I saw it tonight and sat through this annoying pre movie spiel too. It didn't spoil major plot but there were a few scenes that would of sat better if I had gone in cold. But over all the movie was really fun. So much better than the early 2000's attempt from New Line. There weren't any characters of note involved but plenty of name drops of a few sprinkled in and lots of Places named that even a newb like me recognized. There was a certain peril that came up that had my entire D&D group busting up laughing.
I've noticed everyone kept say Elminster was in the movie because since Simon is a descendant of Elminster and since the guy in his vision is his dead great great grandfather that it must be elminster.
For starters he was never identified as elminster, not even in the credits. Second he wasn't even an actual other person but a manifestation of his own insecurities. And third, as far as I'm aware there's no canon in which elminster is dead.
Conclusion: That's not elminster and was never supposed to be.
People have to remember that in the lore elminster has ****ed a lot of women, including goddesses. He probably has a lot of descendants.
