	Although the Legend of Vox Machina isn't technically an officially endorsed DND product, the live campaign itself was ''definitely'' Dungeons and Dragons (and was also heavily sponsored by Hasbro). As such, TLVM can certainly be considered a DND cartoon in all but name.

			==Animated Series==

			Way, ''way'' back in 1983 there was an official Dungeons and Dragons animated series, which incredibly ran for 3 seasons. A joint TSR/Marvel/Koei production, it was ultimately pretty standard 80's cartoon fare featuring animation and storytelling that were generally on the poorer side of average. Of course, just like half of the cartoons of that whole era it featured Peter Cullen and Frank Welker in the main voice roles.

	There have been a wide variety of names used to distinguish these first iterations of D&D from their successors.

	That secondary ~~interation~~ is commonly called BECMI, an acronym used internally for the different box-sets that made it up, but it has many other names. One of the more common is "Basic Dungeons & Dragons" (or "BD&D"), a direct counterpart to ~~its rival,~~ [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] ("AD&D"). Another common name for it is "Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition". This is inaccurate, as, amongst other things, AD&D was the first D&D iteration to be explicitly divided into 1st and second editions, but because there is a much wider gap between Basic and Advanced (plus, AD&D 2nd edition ran longer than AD&D 1st edition), and all subsequent editions of D&D have numbered themselves from 3rd edition onwards, the idea of BECMI as D&D 1e remains entrenched.
