Adventure Time & D&D

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

This post at io9 reminds me of how much Adventure Time feels like D&D to me -- especially the more "wahoo!" stuff I encountered playing and DMing in middle school back in the early 1980s.

Has anyone come up with an adaptation of Finn and company for D&D?

Never heard of this stuff.

Never heard of this stuff.

Wow. Probably the best D&D related show still on the air.

I do have to admit I've watched it once our twice and in spite of it being a kids show it did tickle my gaming funny bone. It reminds me of some of the weird stuff that can pop up in a D&D game.

I have no qualms in admitting I enjoy the show, I don't watch it often but am aware enough to know that it is set in a post apocalyptic world (after the Mushroom War) when the magic has come back. It involves a human adventurer and his magical stretching dog, a unicorn riding princess made of bubblegum, another princess who is a were-cloud thing from another dimension and there arch enemy the Ice King

I have watched all of them* and there are many references to D&D. Providing stats for Finn is easy- he is a 2nd or 3rd level fighter. Jake is harder with his unlimited use of alter self (with a bit of shape change). Some times he acts as an older brother and sometimes as an idiot dog. I would say he is a level or two higher than Finn.

I would love to see a bestiary based on the show. Whywolves, earclopses, cyclopses with detachable heads, garage robots, killer programs, talking shrubs, the bone harpy/witch, Magic Man and his curses, that toad wizard and so much more. And not to forget the snail, especially now.

*Though I have not enjoyed them all. It is really hit or miss for me, but the hits make it worth slogging through the rest.

Sure enough, there's a wiki for it. That's probably a good place to start.

I'm working on a Pathfinder version of Magic Man, which I'm going to use in my campaign as an ally/enemy (depending on his mood) for my players. I'll post it when I'm done.
