    Naw, man, the D&D cartoon is aces! That doesn't mean it's good, just that it's, you know, aces.

    I <3 SHEILA

    Amen, Rotwang.

    I love the D&D cartoon, which influenced me and energized me a lot as a gamer, because it had tons of humanity, pathos and and heart (usually on its sleeve, and usually lit in neon so you wouldn't miss it). Contrast this to what TSR was publishing at the time, and the D&D cartoon provided something that D&D as a whole needed, something it was otherwise a little thin on at times.

    Plus: Diana. [swoooon]

    Sheila's nice, too. Freckles are good.

    Holy Cow, I just realized I had that little guy when I was a kid! I was looking at the shirt and the shield started to look familiar, then the head...

    It's a nostalgic kick in the medulla it is!

    Wow.

    ... and if you had XL1: Quest for the Heartstone, you also had his stats :)

    Someday I need to write an article defending XL1. It was savaged/dismissed by a lot of fans because of the marketing ties to the toy line ... a little unfairly, IMO. It wasn't some kind of ultra-memorable module of greatness or anything, but it was a decent enough work with some really respectable attention paid to player-friendlieness, etc. Not at all deserving of the vilification it got in some circles.

    Of course, as we see now, putting Warduke(TM) on something is retro-cool. In those days, having him on the cover of the module meant getting it mocked :(
