Notable Adaptations

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.
• 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.

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

• The End Times: Vermintide & Vermintide 2: 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".
• Space Hulk: Deathwing: A Left 4 Dead style adaptation of the classic Space Hulk. Very rough at first, but got better over time.
• Battlefleet Gothic: Armada & Armada II: An adaptation of Battlefleet Gothic; the sequel is notable for being one of the few games set post-Cicatrix Maledictum.

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 Eberron.
• 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".
