Who was your favorite character in the D&D cartoon?

[Mouseferatu]

On a side note, I really liked what Baldur's Gate 2 did with the characters from the show.

What?! Huh?! Kindly explain for those of us who don't do computer games.

As for me, I voted "Other." Had to go for Warduke, even if he did only appear in one ep.

Tiamat was just too cool for the 80's.

But come to think of it, I think Dechion the Skeleton Warrior I liked more.

I don't remember the exact text, so maybe I'll fire up BG2 when I'm at home today to get the details, but in one of the shops in BG2 there are a pair of stained glass windows in the back. One depicts Hank, the other Bobby and perhaps Uni. If you mouse over them, you can get a description of the windows, and learn the tragic fates of those depicted. I think Bobby and Uni got eaten by Tiamat or something. Now this is gonna bug me. I'll report back later with the exact text.

SPOILER WARNING!!!

On the other, Venger had some secret past with Dungeon Master, it seemed, and a shadow minion.

I believe, though I could mistaken (it was a long time ago), that

Spoiler

Venger was Dungeon Master's son.

My understanding is that this was indeed implied, and was stated outright in the script for the (unmade) series finale, but was never stated outright in the broadcasted episodes. Definitely a cool idea, though, for a kid-focused cartoon.

And Tiberius, I look forward to hearing the details. That's a really cool idea.

Ask, and ye shall recieve! I'm just glad I was able to hunt down my CDs; apparently I had removed the game at some point for a reason beyond my understanding. Anyway, here are the quotes:

This is a painting of one of a group of young adventurers from long ago, this one a ranger...all of whom were attempting to return to their homeland far away. Word has it they died horribly at the hand of the dragon, Tiamat.

This is a painting of one of a group of young adventurers from long ago, this one a diminutive barbarian. Rumor has it that this barbarian had a pet unicorn smaller than he...also swallowed by Tiamat, it is presumed.

Tiberius, thank you for that. I missed it totally! Somebody at Bioware is a cold, cold son-of-a-gun.

My favorite was Hank, for simply cool factor, but as I get older, and watch reruns, I like Eric more. I enjoy his antics, Donny Most's voice-work, and the fact that Eric's wise- nature paid off from time to time.

I believe it was the "Venger's sister" episode I liked him most, when he busted out the notepad with Dungeon Master's riddles on them, and showed up the whole group by coming up with the answer.

"And I quote, *ahem* "When the ring of the heart is placed within and above the ring of the mind..."

Uni wasn't the cute one. Sheila was the cute one.

I voted for Sheila.

I concur! *wolf makes sure GF isn't reading over shoulder*

 

[Plane Sailing]

Hey, can I vote for the Shadow Demon?

No reason

 

[Psychic Warrior]

I had to vote for Hank but it was really a toss up between him and Eric. In the end I choose hank for the episode mentioned earlier where the kids lure Venger, with the help of Tiamat, to the Dragon's Graveyard where their weapons were made (and are much more powerful) and soundly defeat him. Then with Venger helpless before him and Hank about to shoot an arrow through his heart Hank frees him saying - 'I didn't do it for you, I did it for us'. May sound corny now but when i was 13 that was cool!
