I generally did Ravenloft. I think a Ravenloft film would be fun, but after a D&D film franchise was firmly established. Do a couple of High Fantasies, then start exploring other genres or sub-genres.

I’m aware of Greyhawk and those initial modules, but I didn’t come onto tabletop life until AD&D making that just a little before my time. Honestly, regarding Ravenloft, Soth and Azalin might just be my favorite characters in all of D&D (Artemis Entreri is also intriguing), especially the Knight of the Black Rose. While we’ve had movies about villains Azalin and Soth are very, very dark and I agree that viewers will have to be warmed up before exposing them to these characters. Soth’s story could portray him as a sympathetic protagonist given the tragedy that was his life before transitioning to a death knight, but Azalin is completely unredeemable (Lol). Strahd’s status as a Vampire Lord lends the character natural legs within the modern zeitgeist; there never needs to be a reason for a decent vamp movie.

I guess we’ll see what they do, but what high-fantasy would you like to see translated?
