D&D Beyond has turned Ted’s Peacock Dungeons & Dragons detour into a free, ready-to-play character pack that fans can claim with a basic account and drop into a campaign tonight. The Ted: Premade Characters download is built for D&D 5.5E, works in the Character Builder and D&D’s official VTT, and packages the show’s chaos into five pre-generated heroes.

The pack pulls directly from season 2 of Ted on Peacock, where the episode Dungeons & Dealers put John, Ted and Blaire inside a high-stakes D&D run in 1993 Framingham, Massachusetts. Peacock lists the 31-minute Season 2, Episode 3 installment as the one where the trio must complete a drug dealer’s Dungeons & Dragons campaign to score weed. Peacock’s March 6 coverage identifies that dealer-DM as Chris Bleth, played by Brennan Lee Mulligan, the Dimension 20 gamemaster who steps into the episode as the local pot dealer and Dungeon Master.

That crossover now lives on D&D Beyond as Blaire the Rogue, John the Wizard, Matty the Cleric, Susan the Fighter and Ted the Bard. Each character comes with class choices and personality notes that echo the show’s versions, turning the pack into more than a novelty skin. Blaire is framed as the sharp-tongued thief, John as the dramatic spellcaster, Matty as the reluctant healer, Susan as the no-nonsense fighter and Ted as the foul-mouthed bard.

The draw is obvious for table play. D&D Beyond’s free tier already lets users create up to six characters, and the company positions premade characters as a way to skip the full build process and get to the first roll faster. For anyone who wants a one-click start, this pack does the work of a session zero in miniature: assign a role, pick a sheet and move straight into play. It is also a neat way to recreate the episode’s shape without having to homebrew every member of the cast.

Ted season 2 premiered on March 5, 2026, with all eight episodes released at once, and Dungeons & Dealers landed as episode 3 the next day. In that context, the character pack fits the larger rhythm of D&D Beyond’s push toward partner content and premade play aids, using a recognizable pop-culture hook to make a low-friction offer feel immediately useful. For fans who want a little of Ted’s absurdity at the table, this is the rare crossover that arrives already built and ready to roll.
