I recently found this in our attic and as unwanted* VHS it has to go. I've listed it on Amazon, which still fortunately offers such a selling category.
Its Dungeons and Dragons: the Night of No Tomorrow
I know virtually nothing about Dungeons and Dragons except for TSR inventing it I think. The whole role playing craze passed me by as did the video game craze.
However, I do like the cover art of this video and if the animation is similarly bright and sharp I would like it too. It has a sort of Ralph Bakshi look to it and even a book of cartoony Middle Earth illustrations I had as a teenager but the name escapes me.
Does anyone like these Dungeons and Dragons animated cartoons?
Anyone got the old action figures and gaming pieces?

*I have lots of VHS I'm keeping
They are quite entertaining and feature some very talented voice actors. A few years back they released the whole series on DVD. Needless to say I snagged a copy.
ReplyDeleteI do have quite a few of the first run of figures off in storage including some of the big rubber fire elementals and others. A side benefit of managing the toy dept allowed me first dibs.
I've way too many RPG books for D&D (according to the Mrs) and hundreds of the metal table top miniatures.
I loved the cartoon series, and played D&D decade ago. it is never too late to start some pen & paper RPG with friends
ReplyDeleteI may have to watch it now Guys! Thanks! I wonder if TSR knew the craze that they were starting way back in the Seventies? Did they adapt for the video game market too?
ReplyDeleteFor more well know D&D PC games
Delete- Icewind Dale
- Baldur's gate
- Neverwinter Nights
- Planescape Torment
Thanks Ran. Superb titles! The TSR guys who invented D&D must have been geniuses really. Such a simple idea. I wonder if it was before Sword and Sorcery films began? Was it Lord of the Rings that inspired them I wonder?
DeleteEarly D&D were heavy based on Tolkien's Books (Orcs, Eleves etc.) but after the years they made lots of their own ideas/designs.
DeleteIf you want to start, there was a Baldur's Gate 2 HD Edition released some time ago (after 20 years?) and it is solid piece of game that can even run on "toasters" (low level/old PC's/Laptops)
ha ha, I have a toaster Ran!
