Interesting old documentary of the TSR company from 1997 on the SciFi Channel "Masters of Fantasy" series.



Ravenloft is never mentioned by name, but many images of Ravenoft products appear in the 22 minute show. Many familiar faces appear in the interviews.

Awesome...

Not sure why they needed to show the guy peeling back or pulling down the layered cells of the cover to The Frogotten Terror so many times. ;)

But the real question I have is: what is that godawful greenscreened (Spelljammer?) movie that they included clips of? :D

Indeed I was curious as to what it was as well. I mean cheesy but it looked somewhat interesting. xD

Most of the video clips were from the 1993 Dragon Strike board game VHS tape.



The Spelljammer clips mentioned used the same characters for another game that was never released, "WildSpace"

Wow... just wow.

Still, the mind flayer makeup in that Spelljammer trailer is better than the one in the D&D:BoVD movie. :mrgreen:
