RPGs on the big (or little) screen Pt. 2

While I am unsure Dungeons and Dragons on its own would make a very good show since it lacks a definite setting Forgotten Realms could be done. It could be done in a very interesting Babylon 5ish political fashion. "A story about great armies", etc (I can't find the exact quote from Babylon 5's "In the Beginning" but it truly gets the gist of Forgotten Realms at least in 3rd edition. The scale of the Realms can be a truly epic battle for good versus evil with the Harpers taking the role of the Rangers and perhaps the Dales/Cormanthor being akin to Babylon 5 itself. That's how I see doing the Realms at least. I don't think it can be done in a movie form but a long tv series perhaps.

Rifts strikes me as a true war epic where everday is a struggle. Following the neverending struggle to beat back the tides of unending enemy. Possibly dealing with an attempt to close the rifts forever. Another tv show as a movie would struggle to truly encompass the whole thing.

That's all I got for now. I notice my theme seems to be long reaching epic stories rather then short movies...I guess I am not terribly original.
