Editing D&D Cartoon (section)

==Legacy==
The immediate impact of the cartoon was to run Gary's company [[TSR]] into the ground, because the man wasn't in Wisconsin sufficiently to check up on the Blumes' mismanagement.

On the more positive side the series meanwhile became very popular in Brazilian television, with reruns even into the early 2000s. The series was called ''Caverna do Dragão'' ("The Dragon's Lair") while for some reason the actual tabletop game wasn't released under that name (Just "Dungeons & Dragons"), so the series wasn't seen as an adaptation of a pre-existing product, but its own thing. The popularity in Brazil resulted into series creator Michael Reaves teaming up with Brazilian cartoonist Reinaldo Rocha to release the last planned episode in comic form.

Two of the characters herefrom make cameos in [[Baldur's Gate]] II. In 2006 the series was re-released on DVD and as extras included the planned but canceled finale as an audio drama (with one returning voice actor) and the ''Animated Series Handbook'', which gave each character and their unique item a 3rd edition stats block (though according to these Venger could save himself a lot of trouble by just walking up to the kids and using his Blasphemy SLA to kill them instantly) and had a small adventure featuring them. Among Min-Maxers, the handbook is best known for the Energy Bow stats, since it has a bunch of unique abilities that fix everything wrong with 3rd edition archery.

Erik the Cavalier, deliberately designed as a cowardly buffoon, was widely (and correctly) regarded as deserving better from the story. The isekai [[manga]] ''Shield Hero'' might present a rebuttal.

In 2019, French car manufacturer Renault cashed in the nostalgia check and released a... live action car commercial (???) based on the series. It is, unfortunately, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHoG3RS4QL8| pretty cool].

In 2020, a group of fans recreated the unmade final episode using the aforementioned audio drama and a mix of new and reused animation from the original show. It's available for free on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsNHTnY6HQg| here], along with a slightly-revised version to dodge copyright claims and advertisements [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1_6SeRRflo| here].

The main characters also make a cameo appearance in the 2023 film, [[Dungeons_and_Dragons_in_Film#Dungeons_.26_Dragons:_Honor_Among_Thieves_.282023.29|Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves]].
