Kiri and Dar from Beastmaster (1982). Still my favorite D&D movie.

The Beast Master class in Dragon mag came out shortly after this film did. Do you think the film inspired the class?

Very cool. 👍 Well let's ask @TheEdVerse and see if he responds! Hey Ed, did the 1982 film of the same name inspire the creation of this class that you published in Dragon Magazine?

No, "my" Beastmaster was in the pipeline long before that fun movie came out. I WAS inspired by an Andre Norton 1959 sf novel, Beast Master, but more by the name than the content. #realmslore

Thank you for getting back to us Ed. To us in our DMing, youth in the 80s, we greatly enjoyed both your article in Dragon and the film. Your Beastmaster Class was very well received & always appreciated.
