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.

If the next published adventure is going to be Adventure Time-ish it's probably not going to take place in Forgotten Realms. There's probably going to be the Planescape excuse where people can jump in and out of the potential new world we'll get in a few months. And if that's so, then we can finally have adventures outside of Forgotten Realms instead of adapting adventures from other worlds into D&D's "default" setting.

I'm guessing that he's there to help with the next adventure which is their Alice in Wonderland inspired adventure. I could see Adventure Time ideas fitting well in an adventure like that. Plus, the adventure could start in the FRs but mostly take place in another dimension of some sort where reality is weird.

I still maintain that we aren't going to see any adventures for a long time that don't take place in the Forgotten Realms. WOTC is rather dedicated to their Organized Play program(Adventurer's League). Adventurer's League takes place in the FR. Characters from one season are allowed to play in all other seasons. All the adventures they publish will be playable in Adventurer's League.

Basically, this means that in order for those rules to stay true, all adventures they publish need to take place in FR.

Not that I couldn't see them doing a one off season in a couple of years where they say "For this season, you must make characters specifically for this season and can't play characters created for other seasons. This season takes place in Dark Sun." They've done it before during 4e. I don't see it happening this soon, however. They'll want to wait until people are ready for a change. Which I don't think will be this year.

The name of his secret project is "Dust". Which could allude to any number of things D&D-wise, but it's fun to conjecture. My thought is something lich/demilich related (as in the Lich from AT). Maybe a re-imagining of one of the Vecna adventures. It could very well be the Beyond the Looking Glass inspired adventure as well, maybe Vecna lives in some mirror dimension either trapped or as ruler.

If it is for an animated series, I hope it is a completely different animation style from Adventure Time and Bravest Warriors.

my hope (and dream) would be if Ward is in the works for a D&D cartoon. I think this is an area that Wizards wants to tap into, since TSR it has not been done. I say that Pendleton Ward is the man for the job. It would expand the brand to children who would then buy action figures, merchandise, you name it, not to mention that at some point they'll want to "play that table-top game my friends are playing."

they discussed it in the podcast with Pendleton Ward:

They say the code word is usually pretty random. The way they talked it sounded likes something for the tabletop RPG.
