Fanvid: Diamond Road (Dungeons & Dragons)

A Dungeons & Dragons cartoon vid I've been working on (and off) for a while. My tribute to the very best 1980s cartoon series. (You know, in the highly biased opinion of someone who fell for it hard at six. And again at fourteen...)

Heh, no they never got home! There is a final unmade script, though. Michael Reaves who wrote it put it up somewhere, it was called Requiem - but it still doesn't answer that question.

And thanks! :-)

I'm so glad to hear that. I hoped it might, but of course, it's hard to tell about something you know - and I didn't think anyone would really want to watch unknown cartoon vids! So thanks. ♥

I'm not sure exactly when it got over here, but I wouldn't have been much older (I turned six in spring of 83) - but obviously not quite as bothered by cartoon scariness! (And, yes, you were wise, if you were scared of Scooby Doo, you really wouldn't have taken to Venger!)
