I have wanted time and again to convert great cartoon episodes into D&D adventures, or even into full campaigns. I am not sure how it's supposed to be done, but I think I am going to just try my hand at it to see if I can "figure things as I go".

For people unfamiliar with this episode, or simply have not seen it in a long time, you can find it here:
Part #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if5MW3TeyQo)
Part #2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw01tC1XKvE&feature=related)
Anyway, I am thinking that for now this will all be broken down into four sections as follows:
Characters/NPCs from the episode Bride of the Pastmaster I will try to convert into D&D 3.5 NPCs using 3.5 mechanics.
Locations from the episode Bride of the Pastmaster.
Items from the episode Bride of the Pastmaster.
The story broken down into basic "scenes", with a basic idea of what happens/can possibly happen in said scene (the DM needs to have a good imagination, and the ability to think on his/her feet for this).
1. NPCs
Main NPCs:

Queen Calista
Queen Calista is the beautiful queen of Megalith City and (I am assuming) the kingdom she rules from there. She is kind and gentle, and sweet (especially to the PC who will catch her fancy), but also quite though and more than capable to hold her own in a battle when needed.
She is not very effective in melee combat, but she seems to a good tactictioner when leading her soldiers in battle (I base this on the first scenes of the show, and the fact that she has kept the Passmaster at bay so long on her own). She has a magical amulet she uses to aid her troops in battle (see the items section below).
I will be stating her as a 15th level Catfolk (from Races of the Wild, and another supplement before that I believe) aristocrat.
Note:
If you use Optional Scene #1A, then she has a striking physical, personality, and vocal similarity to an attractive young NPCs from the PCs' "normal" time period.
However, in this case you might need to make her something besides a Catfolk to suit your needs and campaign.

The Pastmaster
Your cliche evil wizard-like BBEG with an ego much larger than his very short stature, and who is borderline insane (in the annoying way).
For some reason he is obsessed with capturing Queen Calista in order to force her to marry him. At first you'd think he simply wants her kingdom, but later on (specifically in the scene where Queen Calista nearly marries him to save her kingdom and people, but the Pastmaster stops just because she no longer consents) you realize he is actually obsessed with her for some reason (then again, Queen Calista is a looker...).
For "normal" campaigns I'd suggest stating him up around an appropriate level/CR wizard who specializes in conjuration, and has somehow come across both a incantation/ritual (see UA or d20srd.com HERE (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/incantations.htm)) which allows him to both summon "evil creatures from the past" and craft voodoo-like dolls to control them (see items section below), and a pocket watch which allows him to open gates/rifts through time (see items section below).
He seems to be deformed, or somewhat warped by the powerful temporal magic he toys with. Among other things, his left arm seems to be skeletal, but still posses skin around it. His eyes are opaque black, and his left eye posses no iris.
Since my games are low-magic, I am simply going to stat him up as a rogue/expert (specializing in knowledge history and knowledge Magic/spellcraft) who managed to unearth the above mentioned magic items/artifacts.
Again, he is a Catfolk.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Cyclopes23.png
The Three Evil Cyclopeses
These evil monsters were summoned from further in the past by the Pastmaster, and were controlled by him with evil clay voodoo dolls the conjured with the aid of the same book he used to summon them (see items section below).
I am going to use the Cyclopes stats from Shinning South for these guys. Since they are CR8 this means my PCs will need to be around that level.
However, if you do not have Shinning South you can simply refluff one of the giants from the Monster Manual if needed.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Twomediumreddragons.png
The Red Dragons
These creatures have also been summoned and controlled by the Pastmaster using his book.
For stats I'd say there is one large or huge red dragon, and a two small or medium ones from the Mosnter Manuals. Put as many to your liking, though.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene46.png
Royal Soldiers
These are Queen Calista's soldiers, who she leads into battle in Scene #x.
These are all Catfolk warriors, with their captain/leader a higher level fighter.
2. Locations
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/ThePastMastersTower.png
The Pastmaster's Tower
This is the Pastmaster's stronghold. A cliche crumbling evil tower, in a place that is always covered in darkness, and a time-portal filling the sky above the tower. The local grass, trees, and shrubbery are all dead. Thunder and lightning are roaring.

Optional Scene 1A

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/OptionalScene1A2.png
This is the canon version of the story, which happened in the above episode.
Here the PCs begin the game by having a mini adventure/combat in their home time period with a nameless quickly defeated badie.
Once the battle is over they decide to head home (or simply move on if your PCs have no home base), but on the way back get sucked into a strange vortex after struggling not to get pulled in (I'd have them roll fake pointless strength checks).
Note:
In this version of the first scenes/beginning of the adventure the PCs are from your campaign's "current"/"modern" time, and Megalith City and all it's NPCs are from a period in your world's past.
I imagine that this scene could be used to bring PCs back in time from both a standard D&D game, or even a D20 Modern game if you choose.
If you are running a D20 Modern campaign, and the PCs have something like the Swat Kat's modded jet you are golden for this. However, balance might be a slight issue, but that is what DMs are for!
If the PCs have some other form of future tech, then I guess that/those could take the place of the jet in this game.
Optional Scene 1B
For my campaign world I will simply have this be a place/kingdom PCs can wonder into. I figure D&D is already fantasy, so it should fit in well.
Plus, I like the idea of a kingdom filled with cat girls!

In this scene you see the Pastmaster for the first time as he is summoning the first monster the PCs will face.
The scene opens with a shot of the Pastmaster's cliche crumbling evil tower, with the time-portal spinning and thundering in the background.
The scene jumps to the a mysterious figure (who's head you can not see, merely his torso and right hand in a cupping pose) who is chanting an incantation. During the chant a ball of sparking magical energy forms in his palm, which once the chant ends he violently shoots forth into a (what is that birdbath looking thing in fantasy movies called), irrupting in a violent explosion.
During the last few second you can see the figure (The Pastmaster), as he arches backwards in victory/success.

You then see the form of a one-eyed monster appear in the cauldron-like container before the Pastmaster walks towards his window, looks upon Megalith City, and starts ranting about how Megalith City and it's queen will "soon fall before me" before breaking into laughter..
The scene then pans upward into the time-portal.

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene33.png
If you chose the time travel route (Optional Scene 1A), then the scene reappears on the other side of the vortex/gate/port in your game's "modern" times as the PCs are finally losing the struggle and getting sucked into the vortex.
If you chose Optional Scene 1b, then skip to Scene 4.
Scene 4
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene41.png
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene42.png
The story fades in again with the Pastmaster holding a clay figure out of his window towards a real-life giant cyclopes, who then screams and gestures in rage as the Pastmaster flaunts his new power over him.
The camera pans to the right towards a vast forest between the Pastmaster's tower and the kingdom of Queen Calista. The scene/game now focuses on the adventuring party who have recently entered these woods (if you are taking the from the future route this is when the fall (or crash) in).
Something gets the attention of one or more PCs (a spot check to see a shiny sword sticking from a stone in the distance). As one or more PCs go to investigate this item one might have time to try pulling it out, but are soon interrupted by a wave of soldiers charging towards them shouting either "Get the Pastmaster's minions!" (If you took Optional Scene 1B) or "Destroy the sorcerers!" (If you took Optional Scene 1A, since they just saw the PCs "come from the skies").
The PCs should be able to easily deal with these soldiers (the Royal Soldiers mentioned under the NPCs section), and should be able to easily defeat them without killing anyone due to them being mostly lv.1 warriors. However, the PCs will quickly notice that These woods are crawling with them!".
Note:
Alternatively, if you feel Queen Calista would be understanding of dead soldiers given the mistake, you can make this an even and intense battle.
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene43.png

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f173/celestialkin/Swat%20Kats%20images/Scene46.png
Midway through the battle Queen Calista will make her appearance, and the battle will momentarily stop as the her and the PCs converse (from a distance).
*If the PCs came using the future version, then she will first ask "What be this magic?"
**At this point the PCs may attempt a diplomacy check with her to explain their side of the story. Her initial attitude towards the PCs is Hostile.

edit:
Well, it is kind of late (or should I say early?) here, so I need some rest. Will hopefully continue this today. Was hoping to get it done in one go, but it seems to be more work than I figured.
Any thoughts or opinions so far?
p.s. I plan on doing actual stat-blocks near the end.

*If the PCs came using the future version, then she will first ask "What be this magic?"
**At this point the PCs may attempt a diplomacy check with her to explain their side of the story. Her initial attitude towards the PCs is Hostile.

edit:
Well, it is kind of late (or should I say early?) here, so I need some rest. Will hopefully continue this today. Was hoping to get it done in one go, but it seems to be more work than I figured.
Any thoughts or opinions so far?
p.s. I plan on doing actual stat-blocks near the end.
