Dungeons and Dragons cartoon

Post by dlbpharmd »

Back in the early 80s there was a Saturday morning cartoon called Dungeons and Dragons. Based loosely on the board game, there were 6 teenage children who were transported to a magical land where they were given powerful weapons by the Dungeon Master. The bad guy was named Venger, and he wanted those weapons for himself so that he would have ultimate power.

It recently became available on DVD and I've started watching these old cartoons again. The animation isn't great (what 1980s animation is?) but the story lines are pretty good. Willie Ames, Donny Most and Adam Rich provides some of the voices of the characters.

Anyone remember this series?

I'm a grofesses D&D geek (been playing and DMing in a regular campaign for 26 years... (gads)) ... and I actually don't recall that cartoon...

Of course I was a VERY critical lad about D&D and fantasy movies/shows ... and still am, so if I saw it and felt it didn't live up to my standards (sheesh), I would have passed it by.

Do you think I could find it on You Tube?

I have a copy of the series on DVD. Cheesy, but nostalgic.

I've rewatched the series. My daughters love it! I may have to buy my own copy for them at some point.

:D Oh, yeah! I think I was the perfect age for this when it was first shown (9 or 10?). I remember trying to write my own episode of it once at school in a writing project. Used to dream of having either an invisible cloak :twisted: or a bow that produced flaming arrows like a couple of the characters.

I also remember hating that useless, bleating unicorn (Umi?) in a proto Jar-Jar Binks kind of way, and equally hating that obnoxious little barbarian kid who the unicord followed around and who thought he was that hard. :lol:

Happy days...

Yeah, I can't stand Uni either. My daughters talked their grandmother into sewing cloaks for them, to play invisible with, and my oldest carries a broom handle around like the Acrobat's javelin. ;)

I remember that show. I new a kid we called barbarian cuz he looked and sounded just like the little kid on the show. Little beach kid with long blonde hair always saying "narly".
I was just remembering some sage-like words Dungeon Master said, warning the kids about a stick that could raise water anywhere. Somthing like, "Remember: When water is gained here it is lost someplace else."
