A world of darkness It looks pretty dark, but it also looks like something that would be perfect for a movie and a TV series, as it’s being developed for both by the same company that was responsible for The Witcher, which is still on its way back. for a second season. . But while some people might equate the tabletop game that inspired this idea with Dungeons and Dragons, A World of Darkness takes place in modern times and apparently deals less with the same elements of D&D than with the idea of ​​the many monsters it does. he woos. trying to fit into civilization in their own way. The types of monsters that will be featured on big and small screens are those that in D&D tend to be seen as vicious, arcane in some cases, and generally painted as one of the main villains or the main villain lackeys who are to fear. In this case, it seems that the monsters took on a different role as they were forced to conform to being creatures of the night who live inside or just outside of society and do whatever they want. they can to be accepted or to make their voices heard. In other words, it takes the monsters we’ve known and observed for so long, breeds them to create a society, and places them in the modern world to play. To be fair, it sounds like an intriguing idea, but it also sounds like something that could easily be sloppy if the directors of each project aren’t prepared to pay attention to the kind of details fans will want to see. There’s a reason why D&D hasn’t really taken off in movies or on TV at this point, and the fact that it’s such a vast experience and such a vast world filled with so many possibilities is nothing else. that partly to blame. This type of gaming experience is so huge and differs so much from campaign to campaign that you have to think that the central idea of ​​the story, if there is one, is doomed to be lost in the future. a given moment without the fault of anyone other than the director.

For an idea of ​​this magnitude, it seems more likely that an anthology would be the best approach and that even a movie would be better served by being broken up into several separate tales, almost like Pulp Fiction, while still focusing around a central idea that will keep them all tied together in just one. one way or another. The ability to keep such a project going is something that has yet to be fully realized, but an anthology for a board game would be rather fun to see happen in this case, as there are so many stories out there that could overlap and center around a central. goal which, once established and resolved, conquered, whatever, could be read in another idea as in real life, where a solution is hardly ever the answer people are looking for. In other words, A World of Darkness could last a long time if people could figure out how to keep it interesting, keep it moving, and continue the story in a way people would want to follow as it conforms and relates to everything. what is happening. in the world at that time. People love struggle, drama, conflict, and a story that encompasses what people can relate to is usually something that, if seen as adaptable, will work well enough because to be fair, people can’t. refrain from paying attention to the stories. it might reflect a part of their own life. The fantasy and fictional parts of the story would still be necessary and should be retained as much as possible to remove the story from the real reality that it might attempt to imitate, but creating an anthology would be one of the best ways to do this. make. bring an idea like this to the public.

But then, it is impossible to say what will come towards us, or how it will be presented, because to be certain that it is a very large world and to think that there is only one way to tell a story is a mistake that many of us had more fun. than once in the long history of mankind. This particular project is bound to be something that will be aimed at keeping viewers entertained, but it feels like it could lose its forward push very quickly unless those who work in it are fully dedicated to bringing as much as possible and for the longest time. possible. in order to sustain the story and keep it from becoming a flat, lackluster mess that too many similar stories have become. The hope is of course to see it flourish, and that is why we will be following the project to see what happens.
