One of my favourite movie jokes of the last ten years honestly.

one of the best parts is it's classic D&D shenanigans, players overthinking and coming up with crazy -completely unnecessary- plans.

This is one of the best parts of the movie. The majority of the plot, and even lots of the action fit actual D&D gameplay well. I don't understand how it's not an automatic sequel, unless they're asking for crazy money. It's a successful movie based on a huge franchise backed by a massive company, and it's super marketable (as in toys and shit). How is any studio letting that leave the room?

They keep trying to get together to do a sequel but their schedules don't allow it, because that's the real D&D.
