The Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the 1980s will be making a comeback in 2022, as WizKids has announced a line of miniatures for the next D&D Starter Set that will feature modernized versions of classic characters from the series. D&D has referenced the cartoon in 5e campaigns in the past, but has largely avoided players taking on the role of characters from the series.

This new set will also launch alongside some free digital onboarding tools that are intended to help new players get to grips with the game.
