How would you nerd, make a new DnD cartoon?

Fell's Five or at least the same writers

Big titties.

I don't and fund a Morrowind inspired cartoons with all the rape gods, CHIM, backstabbing, slavery of furries, and clone daughter incest in it's full glory.

Make sure all of the writers are on a fuckload of drugs too.

Make it unfinished again.

I like this idea, you'd have to have a different style for the nerds though. Maybe some stop motion with their character models.

or better yet just make a Elric of Melnibone cartoon.
I've heard that Kirkbride was either high on several drugs or was just getting shitfaced hard when writing the lore/script for morrowind.
perhaps it was a bit of both?
reading c0da was enough to understand how fringe his ideas is (at least, compared to other western fantasy writers most of his stuff is inspired by Indian religious scriptures no?.

I refuse to believe it was just alcohol that made him write all that crazy shit. I wish we had more absolute madmen like him writing lore for western RPGs.
>reading c0da was enough to understand how fringe his ideas is (at least, compared to other western fantasy writers most of his stuff is inspired by Indian religious scriptures no?.
Yeah, much of Morrowind's lore and aesthetics are inspired by Hindu myth.

Yes, but who gives a fuck?

Anyone with taste.

I'd do a Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance setting, with a focus on a main character instead of a party.

Also heavily involve the Gods as major parts of the story.

Or animate stories just about the Dragons.

Pretty much Unforgotten Realms.

Maybe the DND scenes look a lot more detailed and intricate while the real scenes look more cartoony.

No, live action for real world scenes and hire lookalikes for the little shits from Stranger Things. If the show progresses far enough for one or more of the shits to hit puberty have A Very Special Episode where a player or the DM brings in his girlfriend which turns the entire session into pointless shit in which nothing gets done and let the entire series end in the group breaking up and we never find out what happens to the heroes.

About a group of friends playing DnD in the basement, each episode is a new campaign and it gets weird like real campaigns , basically i just want more of the way eltingville club did it

Get Vin Diesel to be the GM.

I would make a show about non-fantasy RPGs
Like Office simulator or Cowboy RPG
it'd be humor based

We could keep it topical with political episodes
We could keep it high brow with museum art critic episodes
We could do literally whatever with a circus RPG and stats run from dexterity to silliness (which is an anti-charisma clown based trait)

Have you ever tried actually playing D&D? It's DM. GM's are for lame pretender games with massive furry userbase like Pathfinder. Get it right.

I'm sorry, I've never played D&D. I never had friends to play with.

Change it to WFRP and make the first season or two short arcs, about 3-4 episodes each, about a particular group or a place in the world. Then when it gets its bearings, make it more narrative focused.

Make it about a dark elf with dual scimitars, an elf with a bow and a dragonborn with a greatsword and a tiefling with a scythe. They are dressed in black leather with hoods and just spend all their time killing everything they see and gaining levels.

There is no story or anything.

This is 100% representative of every group you will find who primarily plays dnd over other RPGs and will find a massive audience.

It's a twist on a /tg/ meme where they tell people "have you ever tried not playing D&D?" Also Pathfinder (based on an earlier addition of D&D) threads tend to have a lot of kitsune art. Fukken weebs.

It’s adventure modules are also full of transexuals and gays who want to fuck you.

We sent it in Eberron.

It's about veteran of the Last War turned private eye and his wacky dinosaur riding halfing sidekick.

Wait, what? It's that easy?
This is (from my perspective) the best approach to take for this subject matter. There's ample room for character development with the players and the adventurers alone, pacing for any narrative would be comfortably flexible and changes in art style would innately be given credibility.

Make it a Leauge of Legends isekai.

>Eberron
Grayhawk or go home, fool.

Make it like an animated Game of Thrones but no torture on screen. fucking DEFINITELY on screen

If it doesn't include faggots roleplaying around a table, it's just "generic fantasy" and not "DnD".

>it's just "generic fantasy"
Or, you know, the name of the actual D&D setting where the stories take place. Like Forgotten Realms, or Greyhawk.

Right, like I said. Generic fantasy.

Set it in the Nentir Vale world and use native-born characters. The isekai angle is tainted and Critical Role has already sewn up the "watch somebody else's game" angle.

too many stories telling chosen ones that theyre half dragon.

but never really delve into how they got dragon blood in the family to begin with

DnD is nerd cringe even I can't get behind

I don't. D&D's current lore is garbage, and I'd prefer the creative freedom to use my own weird-ass settings.

>that halfling

this or making adaptation of the best, the most crazy stories from dwarf fortress with one of the episode title "Catmagedon" or something like that

Bhaalspawn Saga

First I'd need to somehow work out the apparent clusterfuck of rights issues and holders regarding D&D. Secondly I'd probably just reboot the 80s cartoon and cost off of nostalgia, maybe imply that one or two of the cast is gay for free publicity since the culture warriors can't leave well enough alone.

Totally make EricxPresto a thing.

no, that's too good for them.
let it lie dead friend, bringing it back would ruin it probably.

RIP
still sad

I'd do a season with the original characters, ending it with "Requiem", and introducing a new set of Young Ones, with different Object of Power. Venger takes over as Dungeonmaster as a penance for his crimes/sins, and have a few guest appearances by the Original Young ones, with Original DM retired. I'd bring back Kareena, as a foil for her brother, occasionally needling him, and surreptitiously helping teh New Young Ones (like DM used to, as Vengermaster refuses to).

The new BBEG...perhaps a "Legion of Doom", made up of the antagonists from the original series, ruled by The-One-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, maybe with Shadow Demon, raised to Archduke of Hell-levels of power, commanding them.

Everything wrong that has ever happened in the world? Kenders did it

More of that black tomboy chick, Diana. Also avoid fucking her up by making her woke or doing shit like giving her an inexplicable afro like Domino or other black women in recent movies, cartoons, and games.

>inexplicable afro
Maybe...maybe some women are wearing Afros these days? Like a retro thing?

Nah, it's some kind of trendy woke thing that everyone insists upon. If it's a black woman she needs an afro now.

Afros are actually a fairly high maintenance hairstyle.

Not gonna lie, blowout afros like the one on the right are a top-tier hairstyle.

I'd continue the old show, counting the scripted finale as canon. All the core cast is the same, but they go to the other realms, and monsters are updated with current canon designs and power levels.

That hit a little closer to home than I really expected

Back and forth between teenagers playing at the table arguing to the epic fantasy happening. Like you see a main charecter die and is rewinds over them arguing with the DM. Also each season is a new group of charecters and the dm changes.

Holy fuck I forgot that existed.

I'd take every dime and put it into casting - hiring models that I get to fuck for years on end while I find the perfect actor until the project goes bust

Get the fucks who made Voltron to do it, have Presto be a girl disguised as a guy, and give Venger a better back story.

Also Tiamat can transform into a sexy babe.

>Voltron writers
No thanks I'm good.

start off with oneshots where each episode is a different setting and different characters but played by the same players
and in the climax of the first season reveal all the oneshots took place in the same universe and a huge cosmic threat threatens all of them

Throw out character sheets for eyecatches before and after commercials, like how FMA would have some bit of art that might give some small insight into a character.

Step 1: Set it in an actual D&D world, either a canon one or one built just for the show - the latter offers more profit with sourcebook tie-ins.

Step 2: Make the focus be on the adventuring party. Critical Role and its imitators are already doing the "meta D&D party" schtick, it's not going to compete well with them. Stick the viewers in the world that's been built and make them invest themselves in that setting, instead of being distracted by stupid memes and idiot players.

Step 3: Party has to be natives to the setting. We can't do the original cartoon's "isekai style" because the well's been poisoned by all the bad anime, and frankly we care more about the world if the characters themselves care about the world.

Step 4: Party needs to be a mixture of "classic" and "weird" races & classes. The stereotypical "humans with a token demihuman" party went out of fashion back in the 80s - it's why Greyhawk flopped and the Forgotten Realms took off. Give the party some variety, be it by embracing "new stereotypes" (Dragonborn Paladin, Tiefling Warlock), or truly unusual combinations (Dwarf Wizard, Elf Barbarian, Halfling Sorcerer). Preferrably a mixture of both.

Step 5: Go with an epic backstory. WotC came up with all kinds of cool campaign outlines in 4th edition - pilfer one of those.

Honestly... if they'd done this when 4e was a thing, I'd have probably used Scales of War as a basis for the plot. Nentir Vale setting, obviously. For the party... Human Warlord or Swordmage, Forgeborn Dwarf Barbarian (basically a less-grimdark Warhammer Dwarf Slayer), Winterkin Eladrin Warlock, Warforged Artificer or Wizard, Gnoll Fighter. That way, you've got a mixture of recognizable and exotic races, an obvious Token Evil Teammate/Token Heroic Orc, and a set-up just tailor made for to carry viewers from their rookie days to the epic final battle against Tiamat herself.

>Party needs to be a mixture of "classic" and "weird" races & classes
In the spirit of the game, they should roll for their race and class, and justify it later.

How I'd go about it is to make it so that the whole thing isn't outright players playing DnD, it's an in-universe real setting, but make sure the setting and things characters do are all things that could plausibly happen in a DnD game (failing and succeeding checks, fights have subtle turns, some characters notice stuff before others,etc). Also, I'd make each season a different campaign with new party/new characters. Each character is a stereotype of the different kind of players you usually see.

>edgelord tiefling who always fucks up whenever he wants to look badass
>kleptomaniac rogue
>paladin obsessed with smiting all heresy from the land and will throw a shitfit if you do anything illegal
>silent character who never does anything until its time to fight
>one character who keeps trying to drive forward the plot no matter how much the group dicks around
>"""muh chaotic evil/neutral""" lol randumb murderhobo who should probably be a one-off character and be promptly killed because fuck that

The party should be super dysfunctional in a funny way but they should, as the story goes on, get character development so they move past their flaws and become a more cohesive group at the end.

>tiefling learns to not be center of attention
>rogue learns consequences to actions while paladin lightens up about worrying so much about being lawful
>silent character becomes more social and outgoing
>the plot-driven characters learns to let loose and enjoy dicking around while the others learn when to just take things seriously sometimes
>murderhobo stays dead and rightfully so

On the surface, it would be a comedy action fantasy show that takes place in the DnD world but would be filled with stuff that people who play tabletop games would recognize, relate to, and get an extra laugh at, and subtly introduce new people to the hobby inspirations for their own quests through episode plots, obviously how some DnD spells and monsters work, and how to be a good player.

Lost me mainly on the updated versions. Would get the original writers and script restrictions, personally.
