Cartoon Based on D20 Modern Setting

Despite rumblings of a new Dungeons and Dragons cartoon, the first Wizards of the Coast setting that will see production as a television show is apparently Urban Arcana. UA is one of the canned settings offered by Wizards of the Coast in its d20 Modern roleplaying game. Despite this announcement, it's not going to be in front of your eyes for some time. From the article: "...the Sci-Fi Channel and Fox Television Studios are developing a television series based on the Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast D20 MODERN campaign suppliment URBAN ARCANA for the '06-'07 season."

My prediction

It'll be tons better than the Dungeons and Dragons crap^H^H^H^Hmovie, and nowhere's near as good as the original Dungeons and Dragons cartoon from the 80's.

Poke who?

Another game to tv cartoon? Should we expect a thinly veiled infomercial?

Have you seen the Yu-Gi-Oh cartoon? All that it's missing is the price and a phone number to call.

Still, I'd prefer that to the old He-Man cartoons, where at the end they'll hammer a "moral of the story" on you.

I have to agree. I much prefer to play Shadowrun. Also, I think the Shadowrun setting would make for a very interesting show if done right, but then that's always what it comes down to: "if done right." Sadly, "done right" is a rarity.

"Traditionalists" indeed.

So let me get this straight -- we're going to get a d20 Modern cartoon package, and the D&D MMORPG is going to be based on Ebberon and promises a world of magic and science... ...and yet WotC rejects nearly complete modules Bioware was trying to sell for Neverwinter Nights because they aren't "traditional faerun" enough.

Go figure. Wish they'd make up their minds.
