Name A Film Or Series That's Basically A D&D Campaign In A Different Genre

High Fantasy is off limits. But what else out there has all the ingredients?

I'd say Firefly. Adventurers of varied talents. Evil empire. Monsters. Magic (psionics). Grand Quests. The works

Mission: Impossible. See above, with the magic being disguise and hacking tech.

Do you mean like Blues Brothers?

Star Wars, for sure.


The Goonies are a quest team.


One of my favorite animated movies, Titan A.E.

Lay out the deets.

^^^Do you really need the plots to Star Wars and The Goonies laid out?

Titan A.E. i can see, as it isn’t an iconic movie.
The film tells the story of a young man who, after a hostile alien species destroys Earth, receives a mission to save humanity and protect the giant ship that can create a new planet. Along the way, he joins up with a ship's crew and their captain, who help him find the ship before the aliens can destroy it.

If this isn’t enough for you just say so and I’ll edit out my posts so as not to derail the thread.

You're okay. I can see why Star Wars and the Goonies qualify. I'd never seen Titan AE.

Star Wars Rebels is basically a campaign from the 80s Star Wars RPG in episodic form. It even brought back the Inquistors.
Which basically makes it D&D, obviously. Multiple charactets level up, too.

Guardians of the Galaxy. After all, Honor Among Thieves feels like thd gantasy version of it.

Think a lot of the tech in the earlier Expanded Universe (Some of which migrated to Disney) was heavily based on what WEG did with SW. Especially a lot of their stuff fleshing out the Imperial military outside of Walkers, Star Destroyers, Stormtroopers etc.

The SNES games even directly used some of the art they had for Space Troopers and droids for some of the enemies/bosses if I remember correctly.

Starship Troopers--A bunch of friends want to fight together in a war so they join the United Citizen Federation and become a few pilots, grunts and a Psionic

That was my first thought.

[DrNewGod]

That was my first thought.

I've never watched TBB. What do you consider to be D&D elements it satisfies?

[DrNewGod]

I'd also say the whole MCU between Marvel's The Avengers and Endgame. Although that's an extended campaign with tangential campaigns, like Agent Carter.
