D&D Beyond has three new interview clips talking to developer Kate Welch, designer Adam Lee, and producer Shelly Mazzanoble all about the Dungeons & Dragons VS Rick and Morty game set arriving next month:
Video 1: Adventure
Video 2: How does Rick play D&D?
Video 3: The Game
• Bubble Blabber: 8/10 “an excellent start to what should be another brilliant series…The adventures are only going to get bigger and badder from here.”
• But Why Tho?: 10/10 “It captures every ounce of essence from the show. It pays homage in an honest way to the Dnd routes, without sacrificing on the comedic nature of Rick And Morty.”
• Caped-Joel: 8.5/10 “Zub really expands on the concept in interesting ways while also taking time to make a lot of clever and funny observations about just how popular Dungeons & Dragons has gotten over the past couple years as a cultural phenomenon.”
• Convention Collective: “The art in this book is so darn fun. All the small details in D&D weapons and worlds are lovingly placed and a joy to look at. The environments are so carefully crafted and make it easy to see the panels come to life as you read.”
• Do You Even Comic Book?: 9/10 “This book is precisely what it promises to be and has a fun time with the lore of both series that fans of both series can enjoy.”
• Fanboy Factor: “It’s a maelstrom of mayhem, foul-mouthed mouthing-off, consumer satirism and just plain Painscape!”
• Hero Press: “perfectly captures both the voice of the Rick and Morty show and the essence of freewheeling Dungeons & Dragons fun in this hilarious new chapter in the lives of our crass protagonists.”
• Kabooooom: 10/10 “Jim Zub does a fantastic job of depicting gamer humor through the lens of Rick & Morty, with Rick insulting nerds by calling them bard-lovers. Troy Little’s art captures the look of the show well enough, while bringing in some suitably nightmarish creatures straight from the Monster Manual”
• Pullbox: 10/10 “This is a perfect team for seemingly perfect project!…A must have for any D&D or Adult Swim fan!”
• Villain Media: “Fueled by absurdities and hilarious visual gags, Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons: Chapter II: Painscape #1 lands its wisecracks with ease.”

As reported on Variety, this Fall Wizards of the Coast (in partnership with Adult Swim) will be releasing Dungeons & Dragons VS Rick and Morty: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game Adventure!
The world’s greatest roleplaying game meets television’s most dysfunctional family! What could possibly go wrong? Coming this fall, D&D has partnered with Adult Swim to bring this boxed set blending the world of Dungeons & Dragons with the mad narcissistic genius of Rick Sanchez’s power-gaming sensibilities, and it includes everything a Dungeon Master needs to channel their inner mad scientist and run a Rick-rolling adventure for up to 5 players, levels 1-3.
I’m working with developer Kate Welch and a crew of Wizards of the Coast game designers on this crazy RPG set, annotating the D&D basic rules as Rick Sanchez and helping build an adventure that warps some of our favorite gaming tropes while punishing players as they try to survive Rick’s homebrew version of the world’s most popular role-playing game.
Here’s Kate Welch and I talking about the boxed set at D&D Live:
