Keggor

Reactions:
– Feels like D&D
– Granamyr’s design could have been a little better. (A helmet? Really?)
– Awesome moral!
– Though not exciting and not well designed, it is a fantastical episode with a solid story.

Memorable Moment
He-man told Teela they couldn’t chop down the tree.

 

My-larr

Reactions:
– Feels like an old school D&D adventure!
– Suffers from design issues and unnecessary comedy.
– I like Granamyr’s attitude.

Memorable Moment
ACTUAL sword fighting!

 

Trinket

Reactions:
– Nice magic item.
– Skeletor’s sword morphs throughout episode.
– Spiney dogs from Willow?
– “Mc” magic. Sigh.
– Just how DO they free Man-At-Arms?
– Workable, interesting plot – just kind of half-assed.

Memorable Moment
Classic AD&D adventure feel!
