Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dungeons & Dragons (often referred to by fans as the "D&DC"note C is for cartoon in order to distinguish it from the game) was an animated television series based on the role-playing game. The show was produced by Marvel Productions and broadcast from 1983 to 1985 on Saturday mornings on CBS. The premise had six friends (Hank, Diana, Eric, Presto, Sheila and Bobby) take a ride in an amusement park and suddenly find themselves in a Heroic Fantasy setting simply called The Realm. They are instantly garbed in clothes fitting their character classes and quickly gain a companion in a unicorn foal named Uni. A Mysterious Benefactor, known only as Dungeon Master, gives each of them an enchanted item to help them survive in that world and promises to help them find a way home.Together, the kids look for a way home... but the malevolent villain, Venger, is determined to hunt down the items they carry as a means of gaining supreme power. Dungeon Master mysteriously appears at seemingly random times, restricting his help to quest assignments and giving advice in the form of cryptic riddles that frustrate the kids to no end.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This cartoon has the distinction of being one of the few Hasbro-related cartoons not owned by Hasbro. Instead, the cartoon is the property of Disney, who acquired the cartoon along with the majority of Marvel Productions' cartoons when they bought Fox Kids in 2001. This is because Hasbro had no ownership of Dungeons and Dragons at the time of production (they were still with TSR, Inc. prior to that company's sale to Wizards of the Coast, a Hasbro subsidiary). This may explain why Hasbro hasn't acknowledged the cartoon much compared to other Hasbro-based cartoons.For the tabletop game this is based on, see Dungeons & Dragons.

Lovable Coward: Eric's usual response to danger is to run away and hide. The one time he declared "Everybody get behind my shield!", his compatriots afterward expressed surprise that he'd actually grown a backbone for a second or two. He got the Golden Grimoire book and was willing to pull a Heroic Sacrifice to send the gang back home.

Diabolus ex Machina: All too often, a chance to go home is ruined by something like this. One time when they came the closest (they were actually back in the amusement park) Venger managed to follow them. Because fighting him there was impossible (their weapons didn't work in their world, but his magic clearly did) and he was more than willing to do to Earth what he had done to the Realm, they had no choice but to trick him into chasing them back to the Realm. (And ironically, protecting their world and many others from Venger at the cost of their freedom seemed a common theme.)

Crapsack World: At the start of the series, the forces of evil have dominated the Realm for hundreds of years, destroying or imprisoning any forces of good and reducing the Realm to evil swamps, dark forests, and wastelands with most of its inhabitants living in fear in scattered villages or small towns. Fortunately, the efforts of the heroes slowly breathe new life into dead areas, bring back lost heroes, and vanquish some of the evils terrorizing the land.

Anachronism Stew: Presto's spells from the Hat of the Magician tend to conjure up items that would be unfamiliar in a fantasy world, but familiar to someone from circa 1980's Earth, such as a stop sign, a Frisbee, a spray gun full of weed killer, a corded telephone, a gas mask, an electric fan, an electric blanket, a road map of Pittsburgh, sticks of dynamite, and a fire extinguisher. Presto conjures up a whole pile of modern junk in "The Dungeon At The Heart Of Dawn".

Failure Is the Only Option: Finding a way to get home permanently, of course. Though despite their constant failure to ever successfully reach home, an episode featuring a girl who has psychic visions confirmed that eventually they will one day succeed in returning. In another episode they actually do make it home, but Venger follows them. The kids find out their weapons don't work in the normal world, and have to ride the roller coaster again to get to a place where they can actually fight Venger.

Mythology Gag
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The series is full of shout-outs to the tabletop RPG it draws its inspiration from. Lukion is recognizable as a "Shambling Mound", an animate mass of swamp-plants loosely inspired by Swamp Thing and Man-Thing. The episode featuring him, "Prison Without Walls," was written by Steve Gerber, creator of Man-Thing. Bullywugs are low-level swamp-dwelling evil mooks, essentially goblins that look like humanoid frogs. The green-skinned, vaguely porcine appearance of the orcs is actually how they were rendered in D&D at this time; they didn't begin moving to their more simian-esque Frazetta Man look until towards the end of 2nd edition, and it didn't become standard until 3rd. Tiamat is the five-headed Goddess of Chromatic Dragons from the game. Lolth, Demon Queen of Spiders, actually appears in one episode and is referred to by name. A pair of Gold Dragons, one of the few species of good dragons, appear in one episode. At the end of "Valley of the Unicorns", Venger finishes off Kelek with an imprisonment spell from the 1e Players Handbook. Hector the Halfling's ability to disappear and reappear indicated to astute watchers that he wasn't what he seemed, since halflings are explicitly non-magical in the 1e AD&D rules.

The Complainer Is Always Wrong: The reason behind Eric's creation, dictated largely by Executive Meddling — and the reason series co-developer Mark Evanier particularly disliked the character. Subverted in the second season a good number of times, though. The Dungeonmaster declares that the Cavalier is "right" more times than he does of any of the other characters.

No Swastikas: One episode featured Venger messing with a time portal to our world, hoping to erase the kids from history by arming a Nazi fighter pilot with a futuristic jet fighter. Luckily for the kids, the pilot was a Turncoat who loathed Hitler's regime (and hit it off with Diana, too). More to the point, the tell-tale armband that he tries to ditch lost the swastika it bore in the story-boards and turned into a Balkankreuz. (It even has a red circle on a white background, no less! Which Axis power did he fly for, again?)

You Have Failed Me: Venger's master, The Nameless One, turns on him for failing to achieve complete mastery of The Realm. Venger himself seems to have a less-than-patient attitude towards minions who disappoint him.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_4781adbb
comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Eric the Cavalier is egotistical, prickly, and cowardly a lot of the time, but in a crunch, he is as heroic as the rest (if not even more) and eventually improves over the series. The people behind the scenes didn't seem to think kids would notice his good qualities. There was a line of tie-in "choose your own adventure" style books where the reader gets to control each of the kids, but in one you play Eric's brother Michael rather than Eric himself. Presumably because they figured nobody would want to play him. Really shines through in "City On The Edge of Midnight." When the kids find the portal leads to the dimension imprisoning Rhamuud's daughter (and several other kids), he's actually gung-ho about going in there and taking down the big bad. The Fan Fic for the series not only notices but also amps up the heart of gold part and exploits the gamer's maxim of "never trust a smiling Dungeon Master."

Improvised Weapon
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_4de1a4f7
comment
Improvised Weapon: In order to avoid retaliation from the Media Watchdogs, Hank's energy bow and Bobby's megaton club could only be used directly against enemies who'd either shrug off the attack or were guaranteed to deflect it. In order to deal with the lesser Mooks, they use their weapons in creative indirect ways. Bobby scares enemies off by knocking down trees near them or creating shockwaves. Hank has been seen to use his arrows to ensnare groups of enemies, clip the wings of giant wasps, or fuse the legs of an iron giant together to trip him up. The stuff that comes out of Presto's hat usually counts, since it never produces conventional weapons. Examples are a fire-hose against a lava dragon, an electric fan against a swarm of giant insects, and a collection of marbles to send approaching enemies to the floor. Although in the game, marbles are a standard weapon, and expected to be used this way.

In "The Dragon's Graveyard", Tiamat is no friend to the kids (she's evil, after all), but she's willing to assist them in their plan to get rid of Venger, since she hates Venger a lot more.

comment
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: A whole episode has the kids facing their worst phobias (Sheila finds herself alone, Presto is blinded without his glasses, Diana sees herself aging rapidly, etc.). One may find Diana's fear to be a bit of Fridge Brilliance, when you stop and consider that she's a medal-winning gymnast, who tend to lose their prime before they even get a driver's license.

Just Friends
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_5d414804
comment
Just Friends: Unlike Bobby (Terri), Diana (Josef and Kosar) and Presto (Varla), Hank and Sheila never get a real romantic interest in any of the episodes. The character profiles on the DVD suggests there's a quiet sense of affection between the two. Nothing official ever develops between them on screen, though. The series bible, written by Mark Evanier, indicates that Sheila would "probably" like to be Hank's "steady," but that the kids' current predicament keeps her from acting on her feelings. Evanier's wording gives the impression that he was instructing the writers to play with the idea of Hank and Sheila together if they wanted to, but not to feel it was necessary. There are plenty of scenes that seem to indicate that the two have strong feelings for each other.

Gameplay and Story Segregation
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_6320eced
comment
Gameplay and Story Segregation: The Dungeon Master is a mysterious character who participates in the story and interacts directly with the rest of the characters. In the tabletop game, the Dungeon Master is not a character within the game. The Dungeon Master sets up the campaign, runs the game, and can play the role of NPCs or monsters. The Beholder in the series shoots lightning from each eye of its tentacles, while in the game, each tentacle has a different ability. In "The Eye Of The Watchman", the comic adaptation of "The Eye Of The Beholder", the Beholder is called a Watchman. Presto does not demonstrate innate magical ability without his hat. In game terms, it is unclear if Presto is a true Magician or someone with high Intelligence and a Use Magic Device Skill. The Animated Series Handbook describes the Energy Bow as capable of radiating light and firing magic arrows, but does not have rules for its ability to create energy ropes and constructs such as ladders and bridges. The Animated Series Handbook describes Presto's Hat of Many Spells as a hat that creates necessary spell components for spells, can cast prepared spells as if cast from a spell book, and casts from a list of pre-written spells selected at random from a dice roll using the same rules as a Rod of Wonder. The provided table of random effects does not list the same effects as seen in the series, thus the spell table will have to be edited manually. In the series, Presto's spells are cast from Presto's Hat of the Magician, ignoring the typical requirement of spell components and spell preparation in favor of a rhyming incantation. The objects conjured from the hat do not have to be spell components. The conjured spells and objects are not entirely random, as they have some situational context and are typically relevant to the caster's desire for the spell to be helpful in the situation, though the conjured objects can be unexpected, unhelpful, or out of place.

Invisibility Cloak: The "weapon" Dungeon Master gave Sheila. It gets a lot of use, partly because there are legitimately many applications, and partly because it's the only item that means less, not more, animation. Being a nonviolent stealth-based item, rather than an offensive weapon, also probably had something to do with it.

Canon Welding: The series shares aspects of the Forgotten Realms setting (which was first created a few years after the cartoon), due to the presence of Tiamat, a comic crossover with Elminster, and a mention in Baldur's Gate II. While 'the Realm' is not on the same planet, the tie-ins suggest that getting from one to the other is pretty easy by dimension-traveling standards. And again, with the inclusion of Lolth, this places their adventures in the Realms as well.

Magic A Is Magic A: On two occasions, DM states he cannot undo something due to magical incompatibility. The first when Eric is turned into a Bog Beast, and DM says it was not his magic that made the curse, so he can't undo it. The second is when Bobby is poisoned by a dragon, and DM states his magic cannot undo a natural cause, and they must find a natural cure. Of course, in both cases, he may have been lying to achieve his own goals.

Portal Network: The gem-studded valley in 'Prison Without Walls' turns out to be a deactivated one. In a larger sense, 'the Realm' has connections to a number of other worlds... though understandably the heroes are only principally concerned with connections to Earth.

The green-skinned, vaguely porcine appearance of the orcs is actually how they were rendered in D&D at this time; they didn't begin moving to their more simian-esque Frazetta Man look until towards the end of 2nd edition, and it didn't become standard until 3rd.

Merchandise-Driven: The cartoon was greatly criticized during its run both for its violence and for being this. At least three characters, Kelek, Strongheart, and Warduke (with accompanying Nightmarenote wonder if Venger knew his steed was moonlighting?), had appeared as action figures and then as non-player characters for the game shortly before they appeared on the cartoon. Tiamat would appear as one in the cartoon's second year.

They also use the Single Tear with her in the episode "City on the Edge of Midnight," when Rahmoud gives Sheila a doll belonging to his own missing daughter. Also used with Solinara in "The Treasure of Tardos".

comment
Ascended Extra: The entire series and all the characters, as a special D&D handbook◊ came with the boxed DVD set that gives 3rd edition stats to the children, Venger and all of the weapons and equipment, along with other show-only aspects, effectively making the cartoon an official part of the D&D game. The kids are, however, far more powerful in the book than they appear to be in the series. Fridge Brilliance kicks in when you think that they likely have had several experiences SINCE the cartoon. This doesn't really hold up, as the module included in the box set is explicitly stated to take place immediately before the events of "Dragon's Graveyard." One episode featured a powerful mook of Venger, namely Lolth the Demon Queen of Spiders (as she is named by Venger). She is much less impressive in this incarnation than she appears in the Forgotten Realms series.

Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: Despite protests, Eric opens a locked box the kids are sent to find, and as a result summons ultimate evil to the Realm. The protests were along the lines of "Oh, hey, didn't DM say not to open it? Well, whatever." Dungeon Master even pointed out that Hank as good as gave Eric permission to do so. Eric makes a similar mistake in "Beauty and the Bogbeast" where he picks an enchanted flower Dungeon Master warned the kids not to touch (sort of). At least this one backfires only on himself. (Although it ultimately causes the kids to return to the Realm after actually making it home.)

comment
All-Powerful Bystander: The Dungeon Master, who has access to items that can easily overpower and thwart Venger, can teleport anywhere, is nearly all knowing, incredibly powerful, and yet won't lift a finger to help the kids or anyone else out beyond cryptic clues. Seeing that Venger serves a Greater-Scope Villain that nearly killed Dungeon Master effortlessly, it may be that he is forbidden from interfering directly, lest Venger's boss decide to take a much more active role in subjugating The Realm. One episode outright states that Dungeon Master seeks Venger's redemption (think how much good a powerful entity such as he could do for the land!) not Venger's destruction, and the episode makes it clear that Dungeon Master is not in a position to guide Venger towards redemption but must rely entirely upon the teenaged heroes to bring Venger around.

Be Careful What You Wish For: When Presto's hat works at all, it tends to produce what he asks for, but not what he really wants. (Like conjuring a cannon but no cannonball.) Although half the time, the result ends up being useful after all. In one case, he tells the hat to send an attacking orc "on a trip," and the orc is promptly dressed in Bermuda shorts and a flowered shirt, wielding a ukulele. Embarrassed, it flees. Probably his most successful hat pull that couldn't be used for anything was an actual full-sized battleship, but only using it as a wall.

Ret-Canon: Cavaliers, acrobats, and barbarians were not classes in the original Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop RPG; they appeared in the show first and were added to the game shortly afterwards in Unearthed Arcana. note The former two were dropped out of later versions of the game, though cavaliers/knights have occasionally popped back in, but barbarians remain a standard class to this day.

Luke, I Am Your Father: A later episode reveals to the audience that Dungeon Master is Venger's father. This trope is handled subtly: they knew it all along, but the kids never find out. In the script of the unproduced final episode, the kids find out as Venger is turned back into his former self and Dungeon Master acknowledges their relation.

God for a Day: "Day of the Dungeon Master," Eric the Cavalier is given the practically limitless power of the Dungeon Master. He screws up a lot by being rather pompous, but he actually ends up becoming very sagelike himself. He even gets the capability to send everyone back to the real world, but they stay because it would require him being left behind on his own.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"
 Dungeons & Dragons / int_d7b34c31
comment
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Dungeon Master is known only by his title and, likewise, he almost always addresses the kids by their 'class' titles. (Sheila is the exception; the Dungeon Master refers to her as "child" rather than by her title, presumably due to said title being "thief".) Oddly enough, Venger does the same, but his relationship with the kids is hardly a first-name one. To be exact, Dungeon Master refers to Hank as "Ranger," Eric as "Cavalier," Presto as either "Magician" or "Wizard," and Shiela as "Child." Dungeonmaster calls Bobby by name in "Servant of Evil" though otherwise refers to him as "Barbarian," and calls Diana by name in "Child of the Stargazer" and otherwise never addresses her by her title. Venger and Shadow Demon refer to the kids by their titles.

Our Dragons Are Different: A fairly common feature of the show, naturally. The five-headed Tiamat was a semi-regular, but the game's evil chromatic and good metallic dragons showed up as well: blue dragons in "Eye of the Beholder" and "The Time-Lost", a red dragon in "Day of the Dungeon Master," gold dragons in "P-R-E-S-T-O Spells Disaster," and a bronze dragon in the unproduced "Requiem." There was also the hybrid Demodragon, half-demon, half-dragon, in "The Treasure of Tardos."

Family-Friendly Firearms: Hank's energy bow, which would tie up enemies with its arrows instead of killing them. It was only used as an actual weapon against monsters it couldn't hurt. Though given that it fell to Hank to execute Venger in "Dragon's Graveyard," we may assume that Hank's bow could be quite lethal, if that's what he wanted.

Exact Words: Presto's magic hat can conjure seemingly anything he asks for, but tends to use the laziest interpretation possible of whatever is asked, sometimes to the point of being a Jackass Genie. For instance, when Presto wished for an enemy to be removed from his sight, a bucket was magically conjured to drop onto Presto's head (making it impossible for him to see the enemy).

comment
Never Say "Die": As befits a High Fantasy villain, Venger is prone to flowery euphemisms. For instance, he declares that Terri "shall dream no more." When the kids plot to kill Venger in "Dragon's Graveyard", Hank speaks of "get[ting] rid of him once and for all". "Dragon's Graveyard" uses an aversion of the trope to clarify the rule. Dungeon Master does explicitly identify the graveyard as the place dragons go to die, thereby establishing that euphemisms are only required when a character proposes to kill someone, as opposed to the subject passively expiring from nonviolent causes.

Literal Genie: Presto's magic hat, while not an actual character, is at times an example of this trope. A wish to make an orc "vanish from my sight" immediately causes a bucket to materialize over Presto's head. A wish to return horns to a group of hornless unicorns glues car horns to their heads. And a wish to have something to stop a charging golem produces a stop sign.
