No, IIRC, the storyline was that a bunch of teenagers playing D&D were 
sucked into the D&D world and were trying to go back home.  All the 
characters and monsters were mostly based on actual character classes 
found in the AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) first edition books.

The only thing I remember finding very unlikely about that tv series was 
that there were girls playing AD&D.
