Hold on a second...

"Dungeons & Dragons (often referred to by
fans as the "D&DC" in order to distinguish it from the game) was an
animated television series based on the role-playing game"

Exactly. I mean, it's not like they have their own cable network or anything.

I love this suggestion!
Every damn CCG has a cartoon attached to it so you know Wizbro can do it.

What ifs were some of my favorite comics growing up, and it was for those same reasons that I liked the Exiles comic.

I love Martian Dice. Definitely one of the best things I picked up at Gen Con.

The Michael Bay. Nice. I'm joinking that.

i've thought about doing a few variations about the Nintendo-All-Stars, some being very nondescript archetypes and generalizations. other times i've just thought about blatantly taking the personas from the games and just throwing them all together in a situation. the only problems i see in this scenario is team cohesion and a good theme that isnt going to be broken in the first ten minutes of game-play. some video game character are so over the top, so rich in back-story, that to put them in a game could be disastrous. personally, i love Kratos from the God of War series, but to put him in a situation with other videogame characters would end tragically for those other characters. nor would i ever consider having a game with a team of Kratos(es), because everyone would want to be him.

just my thoughts.

Nintendo All-stars = Capt. N, the Gamemaster. Just watch any episode on You Tube for some ideas and inspiration. ;)

Another biggie, the San Diego Comic Con http://www.comic-con.org/, which seems to be expanding quite a bit to include aspects of other geekdom like video games and movies.

I think it's a great idea. I've been working on that for some time, but my success has been modest. To give you an idea of how earnest my efforts are, I started the Literary Role Playing Game Society of Westchester (yahoo group and meetup) and since 2006 we've had a huge number of very interesting discussions and meetings. I also run the Westchester Area RPG Society (WARS) meetup. And I go to local conventions and try to GM public games as time permits. However, in the past year I've seen a distinct decline in participation in my groups. I'm not sure why, as no one has mentioned any particular reason for it, so I am left to guess. Perhaps it is my own lack of leadership skills? Or maybe it is environmental, or circumstantial. In any case, I could use some help and advice on how to get things fired up again. Any suggestions are gratefully accepted! Thanks! And yes, I totally agree with you. :)
