Dungeons & Dragons vintage treasures - part 2

last edit. 2018/11/21
D&D View-master reels !

   First of all I have to say that I wasn't a great fan of the anime serie for years. (but Rogull72 with his amazing dedicated blog -that sadly disappeared circa 2018 from the web T_T - changed my opinion. :D)
I long ago decided that my D&D collections would not suffer any item linked to it as I considered it was too far away from the RPG... and as well, the cartoon itself was not one of my favourites when I was kiddo... I liked the french version of the song of the opening tho... It still happens that I find myself whistling it from time to time. XD

  But anyway... view-master reels !!! ...any rule suffers exceptions.
(yeah, it's good to let the nostalgia decides sometimes :P)
Just for the fun of using a view-master again I decided to get THAT asap.
(Meaning also that i had to get a view-master too...viva ebay... XD)

   For those having no idea of what a view-master is or how it works, you can have a look here.

These reels (total of 3) are dated 1983 - entitled :

"DUNGEONS & DRAGONS - Castle Venger".
Stock N° 4213 - 4046


   It depicts in 21 pictures the story of Strongheart Good Paladin (heh...) and his companions attacking Venger's castle to free the kingdom of its curse... blablabla... after some fights with orcs and elemental, the fellowship will defeat Venger & Tiamat (Ya know... the 5-chromatic-headed dragon Goddess) who have no other choice but to flee...(heh²...)
All (2D) pictures were avaiblable on Rogull72's blog until 2018... but what's been on the net remains on the net heh and lately some YouTuber created a video of the full story from the Internet Archive (Using my pict above btw o_O).

   Who needs a 3D TV when ya can have a view-master ? o____O;
