Capcom's SHADOW OVER MYSTARA arcade brawler.
Fantastic execution of the D&D experience by Capcom as an arcade brawler with leveling up, gettin items, branching paths, and just plain fun gameplay.
Oh, man. Don't get me started on this game. I LOVED Shadows over Mystara to death back in the days. Funny enough, I actually found out about D&D through this game (and its prequel). HASBRO, GIVE YOUR D&D VIDEO GAME RIGHTS TO CAPCOM! At the very least, we can get a re-release of those old arcade games through DLC. Maybe even a sequel!
OK, now I'm just hoping for too much...

In no particular order...
Neverwinter Nights - Never played with the online content or the campaign builder, but played the main story several times with different characters.
Dragonlance Novels - Started reading these before I started playing D&D, back in the late 80s.
DM of the Rings - Probably my favorite web comic, even though its story is concluded.
Blood & Magic - A weird little strategy PC game from the 90s. Another game I played for hours on end.

I absolutely love Order of the Stick. Burlew's a pretty amazing story teller to have squeezed so much drama and emotion of his characters!
i'll second that. It's just great

Absolutely love this game. It's weird that it's got a D&D logo on it. I got it in the Forgotten Realms gamefest pack, and it has nothing to do with the Realms at all. Weird.

I listen to the Penny Arcade Podcasts all the time. They are hysterical.

Hey all, so I was curious what people's favorite D&D-based entertainment is that isn't actually D&D. Is it a webcomic, like Order of the Stick, or Goblins? Is it a game (like DDO or Heroes of Neverwinter)? One of the novels? The old cartoon from the 80's?

The 80's cartoon, followed by the Gold Box Games.

Well since I was often too shy to find groups or ask friends to play D&D with me as a kid, I often read many of the D&D novels as a kid. I liked Neverwinter but I never cared for DDO. I also have played many D&D text-only muds online as well. I think I loved the muds more then I loved pay for play games like Everquest and World of Warcraft. Diablo was always my favorite of the video games though, I always loved that dark fantasy horror satanic theme

For Video Games:
Baldurs Gate 2 for the PC.
The player modded version of Temple of Elemental Evil.
The hack and slash baldurs gate 1 and 2 games for the PS2 were fairly fun button mashers with well done levels and with the second one they had very noticably different PCs. I mainly loved the item creation and am sad they never made a party of 4 version like they did with all those marvel games.
For books: I liked several of the non-standard dragonlance novels. Did not like the original ones that much, but there was one that was about barbarians who lived near a good dragon who treated the local people like pets that was good I think called Barbarians of the Plains. And there was a good series about someone who learned to become a red wizard, but I don't remember the title.
For TV/movies: the cartoon was not bad for an 80s cartoon. I could only stand watching about the first 5 minutes of the D&D scifi movie.
