I suspect the list is much erlier than the 2003 copyright date on the page, but it should give a good start to fill out the comics section of this article. - Waza 09:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another comic:

Dragonlance Chronicles (Devil's Due Publishing) [1] - It's not branded as "Dungeons & Dragons", but it's based on the novels which are. — Alan De Smet | Talk 04:08, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't something be said on here about the 1980's D&D toy lines? 71.194.32.252 (talk) 20:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stage cast

@Woodroar, Yeehaw711, and BOZ: in general for stage productions, you limit the cast to the original principal actors and along with other notable stage performers. Similarly, you include credits for notable books or games even if the creators are not yet notable enough to have Wikipedia articles (in this case, half of the cast is credited as creators). There was also a sentence explaining the roles (ie. archetypes). So I've restored it to the stable version with the addition of notable stage performers per the Variety article. I also updated the national tour date. As an aside, there are enough reviews of the original run that it could be split off into its own article. Sariel Xilo (talk) 13:49, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We mention non-notable people in off-Broadway productions? That's kind of ridiculous. I'm not saying you're wrong, by the way, just that it's ridiculous if we do. Woodroar (talk) 13:58, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Including the original cast/creators for notable productions is pretty standard across media types where you limit it to the most relevant actors and roles. It is similar to a film article, where you go off the billing even if an actor or director doesn't have a article. If a person has been a fundamental part of the creation of a work, then I don't think it is ridiculous to include credits. If Twenty-Sided Tavern gets spun out into its own article, then all of the cast would be removed from this article (content fork) and in the standalone article, there would be a cast table with a column for original principal actors and a column for other notable actors who played that role.

I went and started Draft:Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern; feel free to contribute to the draft. Sariel Xilo (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My bad; it looks like someone made The Twenty-Sided Tavern back in December but the AfC reviewer didn't connect it with the redirect Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern & it wasn't tagged here. I'll close out my draft before doing cleanup here. Sariel Xilo (talk) 15:03, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
