New Trailer for Secret Level's D&D Episode Released

Amazon Studios has released a new look at the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons episode for Secret Level, their new video game-themed anthology series. The trailer, which runs about 45 seconds, shows off a few characters from the trailer, including a gold dragon, a goliath character of some kind, and what appears to be a lich riding a giant bat. You can check out the full trailer on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Secret Level is the new video game anthology TV series created by Tim Miller, who also created Love, Death and Robots for Netflix. Each episode focuses on a different game franchise, ranging from Warhammer 40,000 to Mega Man to Pac-Man. Two episodes will be released per week starting on December 10th. Dungeons & Dragons and Warhammer 40K are the only tabletop games appearing in the show, although Warhammer 40K's episode is serving as a sequel to the recently released Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 video game.

I'm really interested in the Mega Man one. I hope it's kid-friendly. My boys have run through Mega Man 1-6, and they're up to X2 now.

Yeah, I've been a fan of Mega Man longer than D&D and it's been more or less a dormant franchise for a decade, so I'm happy to see it get recognition after so long.

I am sanguine about the ads, because they mean the writers are being paid fairly.

are you sure about this?? You have insider knowledge?

That was the chatter I heard in the wake of the strikes being resolved: the services all putting in ads followed the greater royalty transparency.

The gnome's/halfling's head seems too big. Or is a disproportionate head a trait of all Small Folk?

 

[BB Shockwave]

That creepy Gnome lady is the perfect thumbnail to use for this sad mess.
I also love that they did a friggin' LICH do a dumb superhero landing. (He would really need to complain about his aching bones afterwards).
I cannot wait to watch these - especially the Concord one - and laugh myself silly.

Is that a...halfling?

No, Gnome. Halflings have Human ears, Gnomes have pointy ears. But they should not have such ridiculously oversized heads.

This episode seems to be about the ending of the Tyranny of Dragons campaign, where the players are fighting off the Cult of the Dragon while they are trying to raise Tiamat.

I don't recall any Liches and undead Skeleton hordes on Dire Bats being in Hoard of the Dragon Queen. Or you meeting a Gold Dragon.

This whole series feels like 50% homage and 50% Amazon testing IPs to make into full series, like what is popular enough to be profitable. I think that is why Warhammer abs D&D get episodes instead of two more video game primary IPs unlike the rest, because Amazon wants to test how popular those settings are for TV shoe purposes, especially at the animated level because they are having issues with live action studio space, but great success with CR animated shows for a reasonable cost.

Bingo.

WotC is eager to get Exodus off with a big blast, with that big novel release (Exodus: The Archimedes Engine might be aome of the best tie-in fiction Inhabe ever read, kudos to Peter F. Hamilton) and now this. For sure theybwould love a full series from Amazon about the Xentauri Cluster.

I'll add it to my list of novels to read. I mean I'm not into the gameplay, not a critism, just not into action rpgs as a rule, I prefer turnbased, but I like the story and lore.

I could see Amazon making a D&D animated series and Exodus series easily.

I'm not sure we really know thst it is an action RPG yet, they haven't gotten into gameplay particularly yet (probably is, but maybe not.
