Hasbro-owned production company eOne announced Thursday that it is launching a new free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel dedicated to the widely popular role-playing tabletop game. Variety<\/a><\/em> was the first to cover the announcement.<\/p>\n The Dungeons & Dragons Adventures is a 24-hour FAST channel set to launch this summer. It will feature original programming based on campaigns played by content creators, third-party content from top influencers as well as older stuff like the 1983 animated Dungeons & Dragons series.<\/p>\n Shows coming to the new channel include:<\/p>\n Hasbro said the Dungeons & Dragons Adventures FAST channel will live on several platforms, but the company hasn\u2019t established any deals yet for which specifically, reported Variety.<\/p>\n Dungeons & Dragons made a massive comeback in recent years and is more mainstream nowadays. This is thanks to the many content creators that host livestreams featuring creative storytelling and impressive dice rolls.<\/p>\n For instance, \u201cCritical Role<\/a>,\u201d a weekly show featuring a group of voice actors, has gone on to make millions, signing multiyear deals<\/a> with Amazon to produce TV series based on its two campaigns, \u201cVox Machina\u201d and \u201cMighty Nein.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s nice to see more content creators \u2014 like \u201cEncounter Party,\u201d which arguably has less recognition than a high-paying channel like \u201cCritical Role\u201d\u2013 get a platform to showcase their collaborative stories. However, we\u2019re curious whether the shows will draw a large audience.<\/p>\n The FAST market may be booming, but viewers mainly use the services to watch old movies and shows like episodes of \u201cThe Twilight Zone\u201d or \u201cTeen Mom.\u201d Is the FAST space an optimal place for Dungeons & Dragons content? We\u2019re not sure.<\/p>\n Also, it will be interesting to see what other content creators appear on the new channel, given the backlash from fans earlier this year.<\/p>\n In January, Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast (WoTC) received backlash<\/a> for updating its Open Gaming License, which appeared to threaten creators\u2019 livelihoods.<\/p>\n Shortly after the protests, however, WoTC<\/a> announced<\/a> that it is licensing the game\u2019s core mechanics under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license, allowing everyone to publish and sell works based on Dungeons & Dragons. (Hooray!)<\/p>\n While the issue has been resolved, content creators may still be wary of partnering with WoTC.<\/p>\n Either way, the Dungeons & Dragons Adventures FAST channel is certainly a fascinating move on WoTC\u2019s part, and it might be a pleasant surprise for fans.<\/p>\n Or it could flop. Who knows?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
