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:

New stat blocks! The MM ones aren't finalised, according to the text, but it's interesting that they're seemingly going all-in with making stuff Fey. Bugbears, Bullywugs, and Worgs are all Fey in this adventure. I don't have a problem with that (Worgs already originate in the Feywild in my settings!) but I'm sure that opinion won't be universal. The new Mage is almost identical to how I reformatted it myself (just more HP, strangely...), and I see how they're going to handle Reaction spells - rather than a spell-like ability, it just says they cast the spell, which I guess will please some people.

Spreading holiday cheer.
Hank: I shoot energy arrows from my bow
Sheila : I can turn invisible
Diana: I have an extendable staff
Erik: I have a shield

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

Which god is Niko from earth a cleric of?

OK, interesting points:

  • "The Realm" of the cartoon is treated as a distinct Setting, with alternate suggestions for using Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk instead
  • Cartography is delightful
  • This includes all the rules from the new PHB to run the challenges presented, including stst blocks
  • the pregens include the new cartoon character magic items from the new DMG

Goblinoids being Fey was pretty firm in Monsters of the Multiverse.

The stat blocks were, yeah, but the character races (species, now) were still Humanoids, and it was implied the monster versions were special cases, like the Eladrin. I'm fine with it; the inclusion of the Feywild in 2014 felt like a bit of an afterthought to not have to retcon too much of 4th Edition, but they've since significantly leaned into it and fleshed out the ecology a bit.
