Dungeons & Dragons (TV Series) - Overview

Overview

The show focuses on a group of friends aged between 8-15 who are sucked into the "Realm of Dungeons & Dragons" by taking a magical dark ride on an amusement park roller coaster. Upon arriving in the realm they meet Dungeon Master (named for the referee in the role-playing game) who gives each child a weapon to defend themselves with.

The children's main goal is to find a way home, but they often take detours to help people, or find that their fates are intertwined with that of others. The group come across many different enemies, but their primary antagonist is Venger. Venger is a powerful wizard who wishes to rule the realm and believes the power from the children's weapons will help him to do so. Another recurring villain is Tiamat, who is a five headed dragon and the only creature Venger fears.

Throughout the show, a connection is suggested between Dungeon Master and Venger. The final un-produced episode would have revealed that the latter is Dungeon Master's corrupted son, and explained that the children were brought into the realm to help redeem Venger and restore balance.
