The 1983 animated television series based on TSR's "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game. A co-production of Marvel Productions and TSR. The show's story editors were Hank Saroyan (who voice directed the series) and Steve Gerber, both of whom contributed episodes and had a firm hand in the writing of the series. The level of violence was controversial for American children's television at the time, and the script of one episode, "The Dragon's Graveyard", was almost shelved because the characters contemplated killing their nemesis, Venger. In 1985, the National Coalition on Television Violence demanded that the FTC run a warning during each broadcast stating that "Dungeons & Dragons" had been linked to real life violent deaths. The series spawned more than 100 different licenses, and the show led its time slot for two years.
