What if there was a 28th episode of the 1983-85 cartoon series Dungeons and Dragons? As a fun exercise, let’s find out together!
Phase 1: We will start with a pitch, beat sheet, outline, script
Phase 2: Create designs, model sheets, backgrounds as needed
Phace 3: Record voice acting and create storyboards and animatic
THE PITCH
TITLE: SECRET OF THE SHADOW DEMON
In yet another failed attempt to acquire the Weapons of Power, Venger blames the failure on Shadow Demon. Venger proclaims that SD will be punished/imprisoned, and replaced, so SD flees.
His replacement is a total badass, much more powerful and much more of a threat to the kids. Let’s call him Zarak (an actual toy in the 80s toy line for the show, who was never used in the show). Zarak’s first job for Venger: track down & capture Shadow Demon.
Shadow Demon approaches the kids to help, it will be in both their interests to defeat Zarak and have SD reinstated as Venger’s spy. An unlikely alliance is formed, as the kids and SD trick both Zarak and Venger in some clever way. At the end SD is back in Venger’s good graces and the kids move on.
In this episode we learn a bit of Shadow Demon’s backstory. Maybe we even visit the Shadow Realm.
