Adventure Time Book For D&D?

I wonder what this is about.

I am crazy hoping Wizards is bringing Pendleton in to advise on a new Gamma-Worldish setting.

Adventure Time is a US cartoon for kids created by Pendleton Ward and which appears on Cartoon Network. It stars a boy, his best friend, and a magic dog in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, and started in 2010. It is inspired by games including D&D. Why am I mentioning this? Because the creator, Pendleton Ward, is in Seattle at WotC's offices right now collaborating on a project of some kind. WotC's Chris Perkins says "Pendleton Ward, creator of ADVENTURE TIME, is in town this week, collaborating with us on a future D&D story. That's all I'm allowed to say!"

As far as future scheduled D&D stuff goes, nothing has been... errr... announced. However we do have at least two future hints:

• "Story after EE is already being developed and also different in tone. Alice in Wonderland is mentioned as one spark...."
• "Allusions to a giants based story influenced by a Shakespearean play."

Whether this is one of those or its own thing is anybody's guess!

Rampant speculation, he is helping with the adventure book project Perkins has mentioned he is doing, the one rumored to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland.

Adventure Time is really a perfect setting for D&D-style adventures. Little civilization, lots of weird random stuff and a couple malevolent creatures and a deep history that the players can investigate over the length of a campaign, or not.

Yes, its is hard to avoid the hype.

This will be AWESOME.

That would be awesome. I'd so play that with my kids!

I think my head just exploded. Holy crap. Is this going to be a thing? Holy crap. Is this going to be a thing? Holy crap.

I am all kinds of juiced for this if it's real. Also truly thrilled if this is the type of direction they want to go for building the D&D brand: not just licensing their own content, but producing licensed content for other popular brands. Awesome! Awesome. Awesome.

 

[HobbitFan]

Very interesting.

Man even if this is just a product with Pendleton Ward as a contributor in some capacity, that would be sweet.
