Scoop!?! New Magic Item Format in D&D: The Complete Animated Series

[dagger]

just a point about the earlier poster re violence in D&D - I think the cartoon was produced to deflect some of the scare stories going around at that time (and still are) re occultism, dangerous loonies running around believing that D7D was 'real' -there was a film starring tom hanks out around the 80's (can't recall the name) where roleplaying was implicated as the cause for a suicide - Mazes and Monsters that was it. So the cartoons were bound to promote the wholesomeness and homlieness of the all-american hero kids facing evil but not going down to their level, and any way american teens are'nt violent are they.

Monsters and Mazes is a great movie......I recommend it to all gamers. Most of the folks on this board think of it as a classic as well.

Eric - Fighter 7 specialized in Shield
Diana - Monk 7
Presto - Wizard 7
Sheila - Rogue 7
Venger - CR 21 half fiend Sorcerer 13/archmage 5

I would of thought Eric would be a cavalier and Diana a thief-acrobat.
Venger makes me wonder what Dungeon Master would be then. And did they explain how Venger could die constantly and come back later. Clone spell?

I remember a Dragon mag had all their ability stats. It was so over the top. I hope they were more realistic this time.

A nice extra would of been doing a cartoon of the script Requiem, the last episode (it was paid for, the script. Just not produced).

There's an audio play version of it in the DVD set, actually.

Shadow demon - CR 8 CE Medium outsider (chaotic, evil, extraplanar, incorporeal)

Did you guys know that our very own Plane Sailing invented the shadow demon? Go dig out your 1e Fiend Folio -- that's him!

Andy Collins described the new format at the Wizards boards on this thread, and also proviced the DMG Cloack of Arachnida in the new format on the second page.

Nifty. I like it.

Not nearly so corpulent as before.

I agree. A much simpler format. And all spelled out for those players that are rules-challenged.

Really? That's so cool! Wow, set the wayback machine for 1st Ed AD&D and let the nostalgia and good times just roll over you!

This is like the neatest thread I've ever started . . . wait, I think it's the only thread I've ever started . . .

Oh Jesus Christ on a pogo stick.

First monsters, now magic items?

No. No. Not again.

It's not "faster" or "more intuitive" if I've got the old formet memorized.
