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.

- Eye of the Beholder: First person dungeon crawl.
- Dungeon Hack: Eye of the Beholder engine, turned into an early Roguelite.
- Baldur'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.

- Total War: Warhammer: Exactly what it says on the tin.
Warhammer 40k

MMORPGs
Because reasons, we'll cover MMORPGs separately.

- 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".
