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:

What's interesting is that they are almost exactly the same as what I put together for my family members when we play D&D - a character sheet plus a multi-page "cheat sheet" with the full descriptions of all their species/class/background/feat abilities and magic items.

I believe that. But "fans" isn't the same as "let's make sure this cartoon's canon is rigorously adhered to, 45 years later."

About the only genre franchise I know that have not rebooted/retconned in some fashion after 30 years is Doctor Who and Battletech.

Doctor Who as it seems continuity has been a low priority for the BBC overall.

And Battletech because CGL seems stubborn?

Niko: I can summon 6 angels to me. Take that HEATHENS!

Where is the BMX bandit?

Where's that additional +1 to its AC coming from? Must be natural armor, right?

Its size is Tiny - does that improve AC? I don’t have my new PHB with me.

It’s not like they hav to account for every episodes lore, im just saying the most basic and simple thing they can easily dictate is where the characters are. Is it The Realm or Faerun? Just pick one and stick with it.

It makes zero sense that it would be the Forgotten Realms, based on everything we know about the cartoon world and the Forgotten Realms. That was just some exec who was sure it would somehow magically mean more Forgotten Realms sales in some mysterious fashion.

 

[Queer Venger]

wow, their magic items really live up to the epic awesomeness of the cartoon, so glad to have them statted out for 5e!!

Also, I know these kids LOL

They are wherever the DM chooses to set the adventure.

WotC isn't the DM. Drizzt is firmly in Faerun as far as WotC is concerned (until a local DM says different).
