Since I sent that rumour about D&D's ending to you, I received a dozen or more e-mails with a similar story. Actually I don't say "wow" when receive other e-mail with the rumour, but "oh, no... again..."

Well, recently I received one other version, more complete, strange... baroque, I think. The details have many errors (about Tiamat and writers staff), but the other details added to that plot are still interesting...

"Excuse me after so much time to come to the end of your illusions, gentleman and ladies. It is very sad and it is real, what will count to proceed, I hope everybody is already prepared for the truth on that cartoon that marked our generation...

Well, you know "Dangeons & Dragons" was written by a group of players of RPG, that they wrote its adventure and the tranformed in script to the cartoon that was sold for a producer after each game. Like every game of RPG, the are delays, but one hour finishes. Ok... then, why didn't that producer buy the end of the cartoon? Without a doubt it was interesting that there was not a final, they could have continued, exploring the series, but it wasn't happening... they did not continue producing other scripts nor did they take advantage to win extra money in the last chapter of the cave, which would have had a public infanto-juvenile ratings record, without a doubt.

The end, my friends, was not produced because it is at least cruel! Very well we are going to the true end, and without anesthesia, of "Dungeons and Dragons":

In their last adventure that seven headed dragon says the truth and later they check it. The dragon recounts that never again will they go back to the Earth. Never because when they were descending in that car of the Dungeons & Dragons ride they didn't enter another dimension. The car dropped... and they died. They won't return because they are dead. They are there in hell! As none of them was a good-guy in real life they stopped in hell after they died in the car fall and the demon decided to play with them. Cruel and sadistic, the demon sometimes appeared as Venger and at times (they amaze) as DungeonMaster. The two actually were the same person: the Demon, sadist playing and playing with the new inhabitants of its empire! The Dragon actually is an angel that goes to hell with the mission to try to make sure that they discover the truth and that after so many attempts ends by revealing it.

But the demon had a devil which aided him in this work. Somebody that always impeded them returning (that is to say of discovering that there was no returning): the small unicorn. She actually was a envoy of the demon that accompanied them every time to confuse them and to play with their feelings.

Never more they will return and they will for ever live in that HELL. That is the truth revealed officially by the Master of that game of Dangeons and Dragons.

Now we can understand why they didn't produce, ne?!

Good night! Sleep with the angels!"

Editor's Note: I have a hard time trying to figure out what any of the kids could have done to condemn them to the Pit. Still, as an exercise in futility, their quest for a way out does resemble the myth of Sisyphus. pd
