How the Finale of the Dungeons & Dragons '80s Cartoon Became a Pop-Culture Mystery
As D&D marks its 50th anniversary, here's how the beloved '80s cartoon >>>> based on the TTRPG really ended—no matter what you remember.

I was perhaps a little too old for it when it came out for its intended
audience. I enjoyed watching it when I could catch it, but that wasn't >>> all the time, and remembered almost nothing of it when I got the series
a year or so ago on DVD. I only watched about 3 episodes before I got
bored/turned off with it.
Same thing happened with Pirates of Dark Water around the same time for me. >>>
I want to get Thundarr the Barbarian, but I'm worried the same will
happen with that series.
From what I remember Pirates has the big issue that it ends on a
cliffhanger.
I was too old to watch that, but I vaguely remember the commercials.
It had something to do with the water attacking ships, didn't it?
Yes there was 'dark water' which came and attacked everything. I'd
probably describe it as a very large ooze or elemental.
I remember Thundarr, but well, those were childrens' series. And there
are few that I noticed are as good as one remembers them from their
childhood.
I enjoyed THUNDAR THE BARBARIAN and thought it would make an interesting D&D-type game, if not just a campaign.
I tried once to do that, it didn't turn out great though. That could've
easily been the rules I chose (Basic D&D with a funnel stolen from DCC)
and the fact I did it online more than anything though.
