I think if you want media that was clearly influenced by tabletop gaming it would definitely count, the Speakers in particular seem very much inspired by what a College of Lore Bard would be, like similar to a Wizard they are scholarly & well learned but their Arcane tradition is exclusively handled by verbally passing down stories & legends rather than studying books, and everything they do including magic is comitted to memory rather than using a Spellbook.There is that recent Castlevania anime, but I don't know if that really counts. But they had Wizardry listed, so I think it should get a pass.
I've heard about this from a lot of different sources but I don't recall this ever airing on México, however it is from the 80s so it might have been on before my time, but as far as I'm aware most 80s stuff aire in the 90s in México & considering that my older friends that I play D&D with don't ever mention it I must assume that it didn't air here.I'm just gonna drop this here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_&_Dragons_(TV_series) . Doubt some of you have seen it since its really old, saw it in the early 90's but the series is from early 80's. Not anime of course, but still.
Then hopefully you also didn't see that awful fucking D&D movie made in 2000. Though I did hear an entertaining fan theory that if you see the movie as an actual visualized D&D game being played out, it makes a lot more sense and is a lot better.I've heard about this from a lot of different sources but I don't recall this ever airing on México, however it is from the 80s so it might have been on before my time, but as far as I'm aware most 80s stuff aire in the 90s in México & considering that my older friends that I play D&D with don't ever mention it I must assume that it didn't air here.
Oh yeah Slayers,used to watch that in the late 90's it was a good anime. Its all actually based on a series of sword and sorcery japanese light novels. Became so popular that it was adapted into manga, anime, OVAs, films and even tabletop games. Its mainly comedic in nature, a parody of the high fantasy genre, but when it got serious it was pretty awesome.There was an anime called Slayers that a friend showed me. It was based off of an actual tabletop game that someone chronicled and it was hilarious.
