The Dungeons & DragonsSaturday morning cartoon aired from 1983 to 1985, and the weird tale of a group of six kids who ride a roller coaster into the fantasy tabletop role-playing game is still inspiring writers and game designers. The characters popped up in the 2023 film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Wizards of the Coast created an adventure based on the show to introduce the 2024 rules. The series was a big influence on Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hansβ dark comic book series Die, and got its own comic adaptation from IDW in 2022, which will be collected into a deluxe hardcover edition releasing this summer.
