In the Dungeon

For some reason, I've recently been receiving three or four e-mails a day from folks asking me where they can purchase all the episodes of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon show on VHS or DVD.  The answer is a little awkward but it goes like this: Only one episode — In Search of the Dungeon Master, which I had nothing to do with — has ever been officially released for home video, and only on VHS.  It's out-of-print but is probably still findable if one searches far and wide.  (When it was discontinued, the Sam Goody chain apparently bought up the remaining stock.)  Nothing else has been issued and, if the show's current owners are planning to put them out, they haven't told me.  In the meantime though, an awful lot of bootleggers are openly hawking videocassettes of dubious quality, sometimes even pirating one another's copies.  I don't like to encourage copyright infringement, especially on a show where, if it's released on tape, I'm supposed to get money.  But if you don't care about such matters and you do a little Internet searching or go to almost any comic convention, you oughta be able to find someone selling unauthorized copies.  Just don't ask me where they are since I'm among those getting ripped-off by this practice.
