Here’s some more geek news that came across our desk today!

With such an increase in the number of shows, fans all over the country are sure to be able to attend at least one.
Missing off the list is Anaheim, CA- which Wizard World last had in 2011. Since it was such a small show, with bigger cons that show up in the Southern California area, it’s not a wonder they moved on.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the (now) classic Dungeons & Dragons cartoon series! Huzzah!
For those who don’t remember, this heroic tale involved a group of young kids who, while on a seemingly innocuous trip to an amusement park, were whisked away into another dimension, where they faced monsters and evil minions from beyond imagining. Their only guide on this incredible journey was the Dungeon Master, who gifted them with enchanted items and weapons with which they would be destined to defeat the evil Venger.
The show was a fun romp for those just getting into the game of role-playing, and while cheesy, did give a great view into the world of D&D for those who didn’t know anything about it.
And how about that Thief, huh? Who didn’t have a major crush on her?
