D&D Movie/TV Dungeons & Dragons Adventures is a 24-Hour Streaming Channel Launching in Summer

This summer, a new free streaming channel will be launched by eOne, the entertainment company owned by Hasbro. It will be ad-supported and available on multiple (as yet unspecified) platforms and feature a mix of animation, third party influencers, and actual play shows.

The old 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon will be available, along with shows like:

• Encounter Party is based on an existing podcast and set in the Forgotten Realms.
• Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! is a comedy game stream in each episode of which a party of 1st level characters march to their deaths against deadly monsters.
• Heroes's Feast is a cooking/talk show.

I'd rather have it on disk, but may buy it digitally too.

doesn’t digital come with the disk?

 

[ProfessorDetective]

I did my part. I bought a digital copy (and I never buy digital, always just get a hard copy).

Anyone else also gotten it digitally?

It's on my Wishlist. I'll get around to downloading it, eventually. Plus, I saw it opening day.

I wonder if maybe a lot of people watched the pirate version, but when they liked the movie now they want to buy the copy, at least as piece of collection, or to speculate.

* Could VTT be used for a mixture of game-live show and e-sport?

* How could a D&D videogame work as an e-sport, maybe a wargame? And could this game be used to playtest new classes with special mechanics? Psionic manifesters, (ki/spirit) martial adepts, incarnum soulmelders, vestige pact binders..

* Why not a show about urban legends and criptology? It would be like an almost return of "Dark*Matter" setting. Maybe Dark*Matter with a system for a fast creation of PCs could be the right rival for "Call of Chulthu" in the Japanese market. Some aspirant mangaka could be hired to create one-shot stories set in this setting. At least those artist could show their talent.

* Some space could be "neutral-system" lore about historical settings. Do you remember the Campaing Sourcebooks with a green cover? It could be interesting even for no-players. Even it could be used as a "bait" for adult parents for their little children. You only have to add some monster based in the folklore or mythology.

Or a spiritual succesor of the show "the ultimate warrior" about historical fighters. Or about historical warriors against mythological monsters. For example green-berets in a kobold lair (with traps), or cowboys vs mutants(Gamma World).

To be honest, I don't know. I'll have to check that out.

It's WOTC company speak. They talk like this all the time to investors. Here's what they mean by quadrants:

Yeah, and I actually bought it, not just rented it. Kinda feel dumb buying movies on Amazon Prime, but then when I think how long I've actually had Amazon Prime, I'm pretty sure I have shows I've purchased there that have outlived most of my DVDs.

Mine didn't. It's just a digital copy.

I think that sometimes if you buy the disc version it comes with a digital version though.

Pretty standard these days to wean weirdos like me who still like discs into a digital ecosystem.

Same.

Also, a D&D channel could be a good idea. I could see them licensing the first CR campaign to fill some of that time.

the other way around, the disc comes with digital, digital does not come with a disc
