TOPIC: Knights of Dinner Table Live Action Kickstarter

Hey Everyone,

I thought all Knights of the Dinner Table (KoDT) fans would be interested in this, and might want to participate in the Kickstarter. Not only is KoDT extremely cool, they are a friend of True Dungeon also, the creator Jolly Blackburn has been on several True Dungeon adventures and has posted a couple of great reviews in their magazine, one written by Jolly himself from the very first Dungeon in 2003 and a later review I wrote of a Kenzer run.

Check out the KoDT Live Action Series Kickstarter info below!

Thanks!
Mike

Knights of the Dinner Table Live Action Series now being funded on Kickstarter

HOODY-HOO!!! Introducing a new frontier for fans of Knights of the Dinner Table magazine. D20 Entertainment has been granted the license to produce a Live Action Series/Movie of KODT.

That’s right! With your help, fans of the comic and geeks of all types will be able to watch the antics of their favorite characters brought to life. B.A. Felton, Bob Herzog, Dave Bozwell, Sara Felton and Brian Van Hoose are all chomping at the bit to jump out of the pages of the comic and onto television, computer and hopefully movie screens. Here’s how it went down.

A few months ago, just prior to GenCon, we at Kenzer and Company were approached by an old friend with an interesting proposal. Ken Whitman (D20 Entertainment ) wanted to do a Knights of the Dinner Table webseries.

Now over the years, Jolly, Dave, Steve, and Brian have been approached perhaps a dozen times about doing such a project. From the guy with a video camera and perhaps more ambition than know-how to a few big name animation studios whose names you would immediately recognize.

As tempting as all those offers were, they came to nothing because of one thing: The Development Team wanted to make sure they had creative input/control. They just weren’t willing to take a check and put these beloved characters in the hands of strangers (especially when one studio exec insisted on changing the Knight’s background from ‘losers’ (her words) to teens who were “heroes” in their day to day lives outside the game).

Giving up complete creative control is just something they’ve been unwilling to do. Unfortunately, most studios weren’t willing to negotiate on that point. So, as the years have passed, and offers have come and gone, the likelihood of a KODTfilm project just seemed to diminish, to the D-Team’s disappointment.

Enter D20 Entertainment.

Not only did Ken Whitman agree to the D-Team having creative control on the proposed project, he insisted on it. That got the ball rolling. Now the ball is in your court. If you want to see your beloved Knights (and possibly other KODT characters) come to life for a webseries, or perhaps even a 90-minute movie (depending on funding) then visit D20’s Kickstarter site and contribute to the KODT movie project. There are exciting rewards for contributing and finally, the fans of this long-running (more than 200 issues now) comic will have a chance to help make this dream a reality.

Kickstarter ends February 8, 2014, however many unique items will be sold out in a very short time so make sure you get your pledge in early.

One of my favorite reward levels is being written into the comic as a character

I only wish I had the 5 grand to spend on it.

I;m tempted by the 450 for the after party and screening, but odds are it will be on at the same time as the golden tickets run.

that happened last year with the gamers movie events too.

thursday night is insanely popular for the big events now.
