This story contains spoilers for “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” currently playing in theaters.” rolls into theaters this weekend with Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith and Sophia Lillis starring in the big-screen adaptation of the role-playing game.
Sharp-eyed audiences and fans of the game should look for everything from monsters to spells that nod to the larger lore. Here are a few that we spotted.Possibly the greatest easter egg is the blink-and-you-miss-it tribute to the 1980s “Dungeons & Dragons” animated series. In the same Underdark region, the group reaches a stone bridge. In order to cross it, they have to walk on evenly-numbered tiles. Such a challenge is another example that pulls from the game.In the game arena, the group is chased by a Displacer Beast. A panther-like monster with six legs, the Displacer Beast projects a magical illusion that makes it appear a few inches away from where it actually is.
The Rug of Smothering was mentioned in the 2000 film by Courtney Solomon, and is also another monster in the game, capable of suffocating its victims.Michelle Rodriguez plays Holga, Justice Smith plays Simon, Chris Pine plays Edgin and Sophia Lillis plays Doric in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.”Volothamp Geddarm, or simply “Volo,” of the Forgotten Realms has a delightful easter egg in the film. His portrait is used as a portal to travel into Forge’s vault.
