Gang is anyone alive in the dnd cartoon fandom? I desperately need moots to ramble about my love of this show to 😭

[randomuser678]

Btw in Brazil the Dungeon and Dragons cartoon is a huge classic, me and my parents watched it and I don't remember much of it but I still love the designs so much, in here it's more well known than Dungeons and Dragons itself.

Back in 2019 there was a car ad that used the characters for absolutely no reason and it looks so fucking good

A brazilian restaurant chain also had these things

Unrelated to Brazil but I just found out that the game Idle Champions has all of the gang and they have different costumes and omgggg Presto my baby

[koats-n-goats]

They should've let Uni wield a sword at least once in the show

[hey-presto]

I’m seeing a pattern in the pairings I enjoy and I’m not sure I like it (I’m very predictable)

D&D Cartoon Characters As MTG Cards

Was it the D&DBeyond free adventure where the carton kids were the pregens? to coincide with the new Players Handbook? Was it a Brazillian car commercial that stirred a long dormant foreign fandom? Was it my friend @bubblytarts slowly being dragged into Magic the Gathering kicking and screaming? In any case. I decided to try and think what legendary creatures from throughout Magic The Gathering you could Secret Lair style reskin for the kids from the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon! All of them are going to be legendary creatures who can pilot their own deck. Join me!

Starting with Sheila!

Sheila the party rogue could of course turn invisible via her cloak. So Etrata, Deadly Fugitive working with cloak to turn creatures face down while also caring about assassins (a rogue subclass) was peak. It had to be done!

Next is Presto!

Presto having the random item hat could have been Delina Wild Mage, but consider. Using Averna to build a cascading shell into wild cards and having Delina in the 99. Also pair with Flamekin Herald (who you could make Varla from the one episode) and give the commander cascade!

Next is Bobby!

For Bobby the Barbarian my thought was Maarika (who yes I know was first Zangief but shhh). The fact excess damage is turned into breaking stuff feels perfect for the club he gets and you can put the Secret Lair Crash Through for Uni in the deck to get double duty of the excess.

Next is Diana!

Diana I wanted to make a monk proper because like. Yes her title is acrobat but... ya know. And that led me to Prowess and Narset, Enlightened Exile! You can make the exile aspect into being on another world, but honestly I think any prowess commander can do here!

Next is Eric!

For Eric. I admittedly struggled a bit, BUT I ran into Jared Carthalion, True Heir. The Monarch mechanic feels right for an Eric card to play into. Several episodes of the show temporarily tempt Eric with or properly give him power and authority over the others, like the time he became Dungeon Master for a day. And the ever changing head of the monarch works very well for that. Added to the fact that while you are the monarch nothing hits you is perfect for the shield!

Next is Hank!

For Hank I was gonna do the ranger aesthetic, but more than class, Hank is "team leader boy." SO I went with Tazri, Beacon of Unity. Cuz a 5 color commander that can bring out the party is perfect, caring about the card types that mirror the titles they were given, and also it cares about the party mechanic and gathering the gang and their allies. Something well within the purview of a good team leader!

Finally Venger!

For Venger affinity for artifacts is the funniest mechanic to give the bbeg who spent the whole ass show chasing after 6 or so magic items. The fact that Rakdos also lets you bring in Beholders, Goblinoids, Slaad, Giants and other classic D&D Monsters from both the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms and Battle for Baldur's Gate. Things like Asmodeus, Acererak, and even more villainous icons of the Realm along with powerful artifacts!

And that my friends are my picks! I hope you enjoyed them..............

Psych! Doing one more for Niko!

Niko is from Stormwreck Isle and then the adventure of Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn. Designed mostly to ensure there was a healer class for mechanic reasons all we have about Niko is a throw away line about being "new to the D&D multiverse". so how do I use that?..

SIMPLE. So I hear "New to the multiverse" and I think "Flip Walker" showing a newly sparked planeswalker! So. Looking through the existing Flip Walkers I settled on Tamiyo! Focusing less on dealing damage and more about protecting other planeswalkers and gaining informational advantage seems like the kind of thing someone new to the multiverse would focus on. Plus caring about spells when they flip into a planeswalker adds to them being a caster class. It's kind of a stretch but hey. I had so very little to work with.

And with that. For real. I am finally done!

These are only my takes though. What would you set these characters as as commander cards, is there one of them you wanna build? What would you put in their deck? Let me know! If I do end up brewing any of these I will post decklists via Moxfield! :D

Song of Six

Better known as the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon DnD Game

So I have been bullied (not really) into explaining the DnD campaign I’m running

Back in 1983, there was a Saturday morning cartoon themed around Dungeons and Dragons. That cartoon ran for three seasons, and then was cancelled before the final episode was released officially.

I made a campaign based around this pitch: “Ten years ago, a group of children from Earth were sent to a mysterious realm. They were to be heroes. They didn’t do that. They never came home. You are a group of people gathered by Dungeon Master to find the original heroes, and convince them to save the world.”

That world is called Untoril. It’s a… strange version of the Forgotten Realms (thus the name being “Un-Toril”). It’s full of characters you know, but altered by this world and its struggles. Characters from the Drizzt novels, the 2023 DnD movie, Baldur’s Gate 3, and of course the DnD cartoon all interact.

The party is a group of six people - two from Untoril, 4 from Earth - and a young woman named Sarah

(Sarah is a character I created based off of the Dragons of Stormwreck Isle tie-in miniatures from Wizkids. The other figures in that set were Hank, Diana, Eric, and Presto from the cartoon. I thought it was odd to package an entirely new character with them, and made lore out of it.)

So

The campaign is the six players plus Sarah traveling across Untoril, looking for the cartoon characters.

So far they have found three of them: Sheila was working with Jarlaxle and his guild; Bobby was a friend of Holga Kilgore and Edgin Darvis and working as a gladiator in Neverwinter; and Presto was studying under the archmage Mordenkainen

They still have yet to find Diana (who is missing), Eric (who is the king of the kingdom of Zinn), and Hank (who they have recently learned is the leader of the rebellion against Dungeon Master).

Oh yeah. Dungeon Master is the BBEG

It’s a campaign about celebrating the vast lore of Dungeons and Dragons, while still trying to lay rest to this version of the world that never got to finish its story.

The campaign tagline is literally “Every story deserves an ending”

And that’s the whole point. In addition to helping the cartoon kids get back home, the party is helping Untoril heal. It’s a revolution campaign

There’s also a giant monster lurking underneath the world that’s slowly manipulating everyone’s memories into forgetting there are problems in the first place (gotta love a good False Hydra)

I could elaborate more on the actual SESSIONS or THEMES or CHARACTERS but that would make this a much longer post and I’m typing this on my phone lol. But my asks are open!

I love this game. I’m very proud of it. And I’m very glad everyone is enjoying it so much

I’m gonna tag them so they see this :)

Venger: I found one of your young pupils Dungeon Master, probably not as worried as he should be: Which one? Venger: I don't know their names, he's kinda annoying? All of the rest of the kids at once: HES GOT ERIC
