Let's hear it for adaptions of /tg/ related material into other media! They usually suck! Anyway, here are some of them, organized by line (and excluding spin-off books for sanity's sake):
(Before you ask: this is not Approved media, as a lot of this is terrible. This is just stuff that's sufficiently /tg/ relevant that it might get brought up.)
Dungeons & Dragons
- Dungeons and Dragons The Animated Series. Explaining this one is probably a matter better left for another time.
- Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie: More an adaption of somebody's campaign then anything worthy of the name.
RPG Vidya
- Gold Box games: The first adaption of D&D worthy of the name, the Gold Box games were essentially as much of D&D that could be fit into a single player CRPG at the time. Think "First person grid-based exploration plus top down, fairly good combat", and you have this series. Usually centered on the Forgotten Realms, although there was a trilogy of Dragonlance games.
- Eye of the Beholder: First person dungeon crawl.
- Dungeon Hack: Eye of the Beholder engine, turned into an early Roguelite.
- Bauldur's Gate: Need we say more?
- Planescape: Torment: TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT PHILOSOPHY TEXT TEXT COMBAT TEXT TEXT PHILOSOPHY PHILOSOPHY TEXT TEXT TEXT.
Non-RPG Vidya
- Heroes of the Lance/Dragons of Flame: Pure shit.
- Hilsfar: It's not actually all that D&D, but it was made by very early Westwood (the guys who later made Command and Conquer and Dune II), so there's that.
World of Darkness
- Vampire: The Masquerade Live action TV show. Much derided, lasted only one season, not much more to say.
- Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines: Buggy, but much beloved, adaption of V:TM.
Warhammer Fantasy
- Warhammer: Vermintide: Left4Skaven, with RPG elements.
- Total War: Warhammer: Exactly what it says on the tin.
Warhammer 40k
- Dawn of War: See article.
- Space Marine: Gameplay is best described as "Gears of Warhammer".
MMORPGs
Because reasons, we'll cover MMORPGs separately.
- Champions Online: Champions setting MMORPG, by the guys what did "City of Heroes"
- Dungeons and Dragons Online: Not great MMORPG by the guys what did "Asheron's Call", set in Eberon.
- Neverwinter: 4e DnD Forgotten Realms MMORPG, by the guys what did "City of Heroes" and "Champions Online".
- Vampire: The Masquerade: Never released, but important to explaining the history of many White Wolf games. Was going to be made by the guys what did "EVE Online".
