Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves directors are considering leaving Faerûn for another setting in a sequel

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves(opens in new tab) was actually pretty great, and that came as a surprise to those of us still processing memories of the appalling 2000 movie(opens in new tab). Now, on the back of its commercial and critical success, directors John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein are already thinking about the next one.

Does that mean we might venture into Planescape, and see Torment's(opens in new tab) Nameless One pop his scarred head up in Daley and Goldstein's next joint? Almost certainly not, but I'm going to believe it anyway until reality intrudes.

It might mean you see good old Drizzt Do'Urden sooner rather than later, though. Daley said they played around with the idea of a Drizzt cameo during the development of Honor Among Thieves, but «the general consensus was to not go there yet».

I have to hope Daley and Goldstein have enough respect for the series to follow the precedent set by Baldur's Gate, and
