Dungeons and dragons series#

Series developer Mark Evanier revealed that Eric's contrary nature was mandated by parents' groups and consultants to push the then-dominant pro-social moral for cartoons of 'The group is always right the complainer is always wrong'. In 'Day of the Dungeon Master', he is even granted the powers of the Dungeon Master, and manages this duty quite successfully-even to the extent of risking his own life fighting Venger-so his friends can return home. Despite his cowardice and reluctance, Eric has a heroic core, and frequently saves his friends from danger with his magical Griffon Shield, which can project a force field. Eric complains about the dire situations in which he is involved and voices concerns which would be sensible to inhabitants of our world transplanted to the Realm. On the surface, Eric is a big-mouthed comic relief coward.

Eric, the Cavalier (voiced by Don Most): The Cavalier, age 15, is the spoiled child, originating from a rich home.Of all the kids, Venger regards Hank as his most personal enemy ('The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn'). Only once does his anger and frustration at not going home result in uncontrollable rage at Venger (as seen in 'The Dragon's Graveyard'). Twice he does fail as a leader: making the wrong decision trying to save Bobby from Venger (as seen in 'The Traitor') and disobeying Dungeon Master's instructions (as seen in 'The Dungeon at the Heart of Dawn'). His deepest fear is a failure to be a leader (as seen in 'Quest of the Skeleton Warrior'). These arrows could be used in many different ways such as a climbing tool, to hurt enemies, to bind them or to create light. Hank is a Ranger, with the magical Energy Bow that shoots arrows of glowing energy. Hank is brave and noble, maintaining a focus and determination even when presented with grave danger. Hank, the Ranger (voiced by Willie Aames): At 15 years of age, he is the leader of the group.in the first episode 'The Night of No Tomorrow' Left to right: Hank, Eric, Diana, Presto, Sheila, Bobby and Uni. At the end of the episode 'The Dragon's Graveyard', Dungeon Master calls Venger 'my son.' The final unproduced episode 'Requiem' would have confirmed that Venger is the Dungeon Master's corrupted son (making Karena Venger's sister and Dungeon Master's daughter), redeemed Venger (giving those trapped in this realm their freedom), and ended on a cliffhanger where the six children could finally return home or deal with evil that still existed in the realm. Throughout the show, a connection is suggested between Dungeon Master and Venger. Another recurring villain is Tiamat, who is a five-headed dragon and the only creature that Venger fears. Venger is a powerful wizard who wishes to rule the realm and believes the power from the children's weapons will help him to do so. The group comes across many different enemies, but their primary antagonist is Venger. The children's main goal is to find a way home, but they often take detours to help people or find that their fates are intertwined with that of others. Upon arriving in the realm they meet Dungeon Master (named for the referee in the role-playing game) who gives each child a magical item. The show focuses on a group of friends aged between 8 and 15 who are transported to the 'realm of Dungeons & Dragons' by taking a magical dark ride on an amusement park roller coaster. The script has since been published online and was performed as an audio drama as a special feature for the BCI Eclipse DVD edition of the series. Р”Р„ final unproduced episode would have served as both a conclusion to the story as well as a re-imagining of the show had the series been picked up for a fourth season however, the show was cancelled before the episode was made. The show focused on a group of six friends who are transported into the titular realm and followed their adventures as they tried to find a way home with the help of their guide the Dungeon Master.
