Allusions and References

  • Dungeons and Dragons: Dungeons and Dragons (commonly known as D&D) is a pen and paper role-playing game that takes place in a fantasy world. Characters take on a particular class and race which players use to fight through a world created by the dungeon master of the game. Much of the game's popularity, as said by Nabbit, is in its escapism.
Nabbit: Are you familiar with Dungeons and Dragons?
