Sunday Scaries: Between 'The Last of Us' and Now 'Dungeons & Dragons' Gaining Critical Acclaim, Game Adaptations Are Having a Moment ... The Sunday Scaries are ...

If The Last of Us was a way to get prestige respect, this is a way to prove that it just takes good storytellers to tell this sort of a story well. This film is a lot of fun, full of wit and a sense of creativity. Not only was HBO’s The Last of Us honoring the video game, it was elevating it, as opposed to being brought down by it, as most game adaptations are. In many ways, this is the template for how you make a big and fun version of something like this. Whether it was a board game like Battleship or a video game like Doom, it just rarely went well. For years, adapting a game as a film or television show was basically a recipe for a poorly received final product.

DUNGEONS & DRAGONS DRAGONLANCE: WARRIORS OF ... (Starburst Magazine)

By Ed Fortune. Dragonlance is Dungeons & Dragon's big, cinematic setting that has always enjoyed a good amount of spin-off media, from comics to board games ...

We get models for the heroes, and these are grey with a light amount of highlighting ink applied, which is a nice touch but nothing special. Be warned that this is a game designed in which each scenario has multiple solutions, so armchair commanders should sit down and listen to everyone else; there’s always more than one way to win each scenario. Component-wise, the game comes with a lot of pieces. And true to the setting, they’ve launched a board game called Warriors of Krynn, which (optionally) integrates into the roleplaying adventure. Warriors of Krynn isn’t an epic battle simulator but, instead, a hero-focused cooperative game where you work together to try and steer the battle in the direction you want it to be. The latest iteration of this is [Shadow of the Dragon Queen](https://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/dungeons-dragons-dragonlance-shadow-of-the-dragon-queen/), an epic war story in which players desperately try to stop the steadily encroaching forces of darkness from taking over the land.
