D&D Beyond Releases New Free D&D Adventure Featuring 1980s Cartoon Characters

D&D Beyond has a new adventure featuring the cast of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon as playable characters. Today, D&D Beyond released Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn as a free adventure for all D&D Beyond subscribers. The adventure, which was originally released at PAX West as a part of D&D's 50th anniversary celebration, is a Level 4 adventure. As part of the adventure, players can use pre-made character sheets for the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon characters, now grown up. A seventh character, Niko, is also in the adventure as a new character who came from a different set of real-world adventurers stuck in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn also features a grown-up Uni and Kelek of League of Malevolence and D&D toy fame.

You can take a look at the grown up cast of the D&D cartoon (plus Niko) below:

I've certainly read worse adventures. I still don't get all the clutter around the stats and saves and stuff, but I'll just have to grin and bear it. Disappointed that more spells weren't changed to actions, and I still have to look up spells all the time for monsters, but that's fine.

Overall, if this was a first level deal, and more people had access to it, I'd think it was GREAT for showing the system. As is, it's good enough.

Sounds like they should have went with a Bard as the healer.

Would have made more sense. Heck maybe even a druid. Just a big ol' nature lover.

Is bullywug leap awkward?

Loving the Bullywug Bog Sage! I just love bullywugs in general tho

Also, if the Bugbear stat block is anything to go by, it seems they're moving armour types from the AC section of the stat block to "Gear".

Eric's updated look still very much jives with his personality in the cartoon.

According to the adventure hook, it looks like the cartoon characters did make it back home, but have been called back as adults to the Realm for reasons unknown.

At the bidding of the great god Marquetink.

I feel like they plan to develop this further in some venue.

It is a generous move to release (another) free adventure. Super cool.
