Dungeons and Dragons A screen adaptation of the Dragonlance campaign setting has been circulating for a while now, and there's one reason, in particular, why such an adaptation is still a good idea. This adaptation could finally fulfill a fantasy TV promise made by a show of truly epic proportions: HBO's Game of Thronesreleased in 2011. Transforming George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones teased a concept that a Dragonlance TV series could fulfill, as a campaign points the way to that exciting prospect.
If Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves The end says something, that's it D&D has adaptation potential in spadesand sharp humor may be the way to unravel this. Therefore, an adaptation Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen should be recognized as a fundamental opportunity for D&Dalthough Wizards of the Coast recently snubbed Joe Manganiello's Dragonlance movie idea. THE Shadow of the Dragon Queen campaign is one of the best in 5e and could support a great idea that Game of Thrones only briefly touched upon.
An adaptation of this Dungeons & Dragons campaign would mean necromantic dragons
Necromantic dragons are one of the best parts of Dungeons & Dragons
Shadow of the Dragon Queen has necromantic dragons, and a live-action or animated TV adaptation of the campaign should bring that to life. These beings resemble RA Salvatore's dracolichs Legend of Drizzt books or dragon skeletons. The necromantic dragon embodies one of the D&D most creative and inspiring undead dragonsoffering fantasy some of its most unique, meaningful, and hauntingly beautiful images. Game of Thrones scratched the surface of this idea, demonstrating how far it could be taken by a TV show with a fair budget.
A D&D TV Show Could Take One of Game Of Thrones' Coolest Concepts Even Further
A Dragonlance TV Show Could Build on Game Of Thrones' Success
Game of Thrones brought the terrifying notion of undead dragons to audiences in the form of Viserion, confirming just how incredible a Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen adaptation could end up being. Game of Thrones showed the potential of undead dragons in episode 7 of season 7, when the Night King appeared on Viserion's back and attacked the Wall. The decaying wings and chilling, undead light of their blue flames are an epic feat of visual effects, but a Dungeons and Dragons The Dragonlance TV show could probably top that now.
Viserion's attack at the Battle of Winterfell was another example of Game of Thrones' strong use of “zombie dragon”. The Night King's revival of Viserion was a huge twist. However, Viserion hasn't really gone anywhere nor developed into a fully realized arc, leaving a gap in the market to ghostly dragons on TV. D&D Dragonlance necromantic dragons could build Game of Thrones' Success and take the undead dragons to the next level. Dragonlance is currently one of the Dungeons and Dragons' most essential campaign settings and Shadow of the Dragon Queen offers a logical adaptation.
