Dungeons & Dragons - Episode 13 - P-R-E-S-T-O Spells Disaster

[@Cynnister-vy5tl]

I’m 53. I used to watch this with my friends in San Antonio Texas every Saturday morning while we all played Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. It was a Saturday ritual for us. Those were great times and memories. Ty for posting this. Takes me back to the days of Commodore 64 and Atari and ColecoVision and just so much more. For a brief time I’m lost in times of great fun, great friends and NO cell phones and social media ruining everything.

[@shigeolincolntaco]

I have been watching 1 ep every Saturday for the past 13 weeks feels like 1983 all over again thank you for posting this and to allow me to feel like I'm 11 again thanks

[@richardhaynes3925]

I've been doing something similar on Friday afternoons.

[@corbin_4738]

Uni wearing that green spell cap was quite humorous. Also funny that Uni used the cap to cast a spell better than Presto. Haha!

[@Long-HairedLuigi]

So did the bad guys in another episode! PRESTO: "That hat never worked that good for ME!" (An actual quote)

[@marlawhite1430]

Presto is really the most powerful and dangerous of all of them. He just got to learn how to master his hat.

[@WillMunny22]

Love when Uni talks. The part with Uni using Prestos hat was great!

[@jackjackson4543]

I would still love an episode' showing how they all met , how they got on. Even family and friend ships , and a look at what was going on in the realm. A link to how the ride became enchanted...

[@TrackerRoo]

It was the 80s, they figured viewers didn't need a backstory and an introduction episode. They just jumped right in and used the opening to explain what little backstory they decided the series needed.

[@CorbCorbin]

Nao Shadowpaws The opening sequence, is one of my favorites. It shows how they got there, who they are, by their D&D classes, their guide/teacher, and their main adversary, all in a one minute opening. I agree, like a good movie, or show, their interactions tell what one needs to know about their friendships. It establishes that they've been questing for awhile, and by the skill in which they use the weapons, except Presto, although he seems to pull something that works when needed. It's a great show, and if you can find the comic, from the late 80s, it continues the story, with Eric's brother taking his place, and Presto training under a powerful Wizard. It's by D.C., and called Tour of the Realms, but it's very difficult to find.

[@dnds4]

So you would like a D&D cartoon Documentary.

[@jakstorm3180]

I like how when Presto tries to cast a spell most times he screws up, relating to Presto not rolling them 20s

[@mr.pavone9719]

The trend of "everything MUST be explained" has really been for the worse for storytelling.

[@duanechandler9057]

Uni is better at using Presto’s hat than he is

[@MountTheodore72]

Duane Chandler Presto doesn't think of convenient spells which is so damn agitating. For example, there's no need for him to ever be tired when it comes to walking. He didn't have to walk up all those flights of stairs. He could have came up with a spell that could have allowed him to float or ride up those steps. Uni somehow managed to conjure up a floating magic carpet something that Presto could have been used.

[@veng3r663]

Spell-users are always supposed TO be somewhat weak in their early Levels to compensate for the Earth-shattering POWER that they can unleash later on...

[@CorbCorbin]

I think his main problem, is with his terrible wording when conjuring. He really doesn't even need to say anything, except it's the only way he knows. He did conjure that aircraft carrier, which is one of the only times he pulled exactly what he wanted. In the comic, where he's older, he becomes a much better Wizard, but it's been almost 20 years, since I read it, and I don't remember much from it.

[@CorbCorbin]

Veng3r Exactly. He doesn't have much confidence either. The one time he pulled the aircraft carrier, was in response to Eric insulting him. It was exactly what he wanted, but he usually pulls something that works, even though his wording is terrible.

[@vermiciosknid9629]

Uni's also a magical creature and Presto's a human so might be easier for her.

[@WesterosWolf]

Fantastic episode! Presto is one of my favorite characters in the gang and the one I relate to most- particularly for being nerdy and funny. Sometimes amusing how some of his spells backfire but Presto does come through when the going gets tough. The "Jack & the Beanstalk" reference made for a cool plot line.

[@CorbCorbin]

WesterosWolf1327 He pulled an aircraft carrier, that one time Eric mentioned them needing one, after being ridiculed. He always comes through when it counts.

The writers dropped their Monster Manual on this one. Gold Dragons are hyper intelligent, can speak multiple languages, can cast spells like crazy, and are usually surrounded by books. The one in this episode seems to be of animal intelligence and looks like a damn dinosaur.

[@duanechandler9057]

Kaidus4ce Or maybe practice a little during those miles they’re always walking

[@mr.pavone9719]

That's kinda the point of their items I think. It either plays to their greatest strength or theor weakness. Hank and Diana are both confient and capable. Eric is cowardly. Bobby is brash and brutish while Sheila seems to prefer being unseen. Presto (the only character who does not have a normal name) is capable of a lot but he lacks confidence. His hat rewards him being sure of himself while when he's in a panic it goes crazy, but at least never causes harm.

[@scottmahoney1230]

Dinosaurs did appear in the old DD Monster Manuels. Vegatarian dinosaurs were known for trampling anyone that gets in their territory or near their nest. My only problem is that they all ran from the Stegosaurs . Dinosaurs are tough but not magic. Their weapons could have scared it off.

I hate to be that guy, but dragons in DnD are born with the intelligence class of a 30 year old human and already able to read and speak. In this episode they come off as a tad, animalistic.

[@bskec2177]

Earlier editions had different rules. Basic DnD dragons were different, depending on the colour and size category (small, adult, large, huge). White dragons (weakest type) didn't get above animal intelligence until they got the got to the largest size category; gold dragons however, were always at least human level, and capable of speech. This appears to be an adult size dragon, but wingless, which also sometimes happened - although I believe there was an edition were gold dragons were always wingless, and just flew using magic.
