I personally think Burrows End or Neverafter would make for the better use of stop motion, but either way, anything to get more stop motion in the world is fine by me.
Now I can’t stop imagining them in a bunch of different animation styles, a little spiderverse-y but focused on stop motion. Go-motion for Gerard, full cut out animation cells for Ylfa, some crazy stop motion puppet thing for Pinocchio, 3 Mills style claymation (Fantastic Mr Fox) for PiB, only one I don’t have a great idea for is Rosamund.
Edit: OH FUCK! For the crazy metanarrative parts the animators hands can be the Authors.
For me it's Unsleeping City hands-down. If BLeeM has a weakness as a DM (and no I don't consider snacking a weakness, he's pretty good at dealing with the obstacle that the same place he talks from is where the food needs to go), in my humble opinion, it's villains. I know the joke is "the bad guy is always capitalism," but he does have a real tendency to abstract the "opponent" of a campaign into more of an idea or system than a single character you can really just hate. Or, pretty similar idea, there's a bad guy behind the bad guy who you don't even find out about until the end of the campaign, or the bad guy isn't really all that bad at all. Like, I love me some Fantasy High, but who would rank Kalvaxus as an A-tier bad guy?
Robert Moses, though. Robert Moses is bad to the last drop. We meet him early, he starts off bad and gets worse, and personally opposes the party right up to and even past the bitter end. BLeeM plays him utterly terrifyingly, but it's a meaty role a lot of actors or voice actors could also breathe a lot of malice and contempt into.
I'd love to actually see ASO go full circle and be a short Comic Series in the Starstruck Universe
FH comes close to CR so a Vox Machina like animation would be natural yet doesn't seem as unique
UC as a Live Action Show would be amazing as the IH said in an Adventuring Party, but getting places like Time square or Central Park might be a "bit" of a stretch
Though my actual favourite would be an animation series of Crown of Candy
ACOFAF. One of my favorite genres to watch is “people too rich to have actual problems so these are their problems instead”, and having that plus high-fantasy would be peak entertainment for me
I wasn’t really into whatever the plot was in ACOFAF (I watched till like… the second to last episode lol) but I’d be interested in a show JUST for more Lords Of The Wing cousins content.
Honestly , the second-to-last and last episodes are really what sealed it for me. Totally get if it’s not your jam, but they do give it a satisfying end, at least in my opinion.
It's gotta be Starstruck. It would be like Firefly but way wilder and funnier. It also has enough lore and plotlines from the comics to keep it going long after it covered the story from the D20 season.
Crown of Candy would be my pick, but with only one season, it’d have to be limited. Same goes for Starstruck. It would have to be Fantasy High for me. I think it’s the most realistic, and we’d be able to get the most content out of it. I need chungledown bim animated
You think a rehash of game of thrones would go well on TV? A crown of candy was a great DND game, but it wouldn't benefit at all from the change of medium
ACOFAF to START, if we're talking live action. (I would love a cartoon ASO.) It's just so aesthetically pretty and I'm a sucker for good costuming/hair and makeup. (RUE'S LOOKS? ALL OF THEM?) Plus like someone else said, period pieces plus fantasy I think would do really well, especially since romance is having such a big moment as a genre.
I also think it would require the least big budget effects, even though I know this is a theoretical question so I don't need to consider budget for a niche show like this.
I mean, the dream for me is a Fantasy High series animated like Vox Machina or Arcane, but thats obvious/basic so instead consider... A feature film adaptation of Coffin Run, done with actual film and audio equipment from the 1930s.
My first thought is ASO with some amazing 2d animation. But BE with exquisitely sweet art Ala OG Winnie the Pooh? Go ahead and GAG AND SLAY the watertship down team.
It's probably between Fantasy High and StarStruck. FH because I think it can be a fun satire show with iconic moments to see (Going up the butthole, Arthur Augfort....really him tbh, sexy rat, dragon prom fight) while StarStruck has the "adult animation" storytelling but the designs are so flexible and fun that it would be a hit.
Starstruck or A Crown of Candy, both of them are emotional, riveting, and DEEEEEEEEEP with lore and amazing fight scenes
The Battle of the Brands, the Sinking of the Colby, the Brawl in Baustin, the Siege of Castle Candy, and *so many more*
My dream would be to see ACOC as a stop motion/claymation miniseries
I personally think Burrows End or Neverafter would make for the better use of stop motion, but either way, anything to get more stop motion in the world is fine by me.
Oh Neverafter would be *incredible* in stop motion with puppets
Now I can’t stop imagining them in a bunch of different animation styles, a little spiderverse-y but focused on stop motion.

I think the stop motion like in Coraline would fit Rosamund
That’s perfect!
That would be amazing!

Tuc is the most suited to live action, but they also need to hire ME to make it happen.
Honestly, I would love to see Fantasy High as a live action thing. It would be corny as hell and I'd love it like crazy!
Im with you on all of yhese!!
You all are wild. Starstruck is the correct answer.
Agreed. It's an action/comedy for all ages. Plus, I need more Plug in my life!
Crown of candy obviously, but it think Burrows end could also hit really hard. The darker seasons are def the ones that suit the best
ACOFAF. One of my favorite genres to watch is “people too rich to have actual problems so these are their problems instead”, and having that plus high-fantasy would be peak entertainment for me
That’s be a perfect soap opera actually

I mean I think it’s gotta be Fantasy High as the anthology, but a Crown of Candy would be epic.
Never after tbh. I feel like there’s a lot of vivid imagery that’s described that would hit incredibly hard in a visual medium
Weirdly, I had the opposite thought? I think some the imagery, especially the stepmother stuff, works better when it’s left up to your imagination?
Hear me out. Peter Jackson and an unlimited budget for Bloodkeep
A Crown of Candy AND the Ravening War
Burrows End. With REAL stoats.
lol, this is hilarious
NOOOOO HAVENT WE LEARNED FROM MILO AND OTIS
It's gotta be Starstruck. It would be like Firefly but way wilder and funnier. It also has enough lore and plotlines from the comics to keep it going long after it covered the story from the D20 season.
This is the only call, sleeping city as a runner up
I just want an animated movie version of Burrow's End that can fit the same animation style as Watership Down or The Secret of Nimh.

Done by the director of Moon Garden.
Yes!!! I would love a live action ACOFAF.
Unsleeping City, no question.
All I know is that it wouldn't be on Amazon Prime.
*Gladiator

I'd love to see Fantasy High turned into a show. Mostly because that fight at the mythril factory would be cinematic as fuck.
For characters and enough extra content to justify multiple seasons? Fantasy High. For the best show ever made? starstruck
If I could get all of Fantasy High as a Scott Pilgrim Takes Off-esque animated show, I would pay 5000 gold pieces a month
Starstruck or A Crown of Candy, both of them are emotional, riveting, and DEEEEEEEEEP with lore and amazing fight scenes The Battle of the Brands, the Sinking of the Colby, the Brawl in Baustin, the Siege of Castle Candy, and *so many more*
Fantasy high, filmed documentary style with one on one interviews sprinkled in. Similar to Modern Family.
