Has anyone noticed some easter eggs (sort of) or perhaps I’ll call ‘em “a nod” to either Gary or D&D in the CKG?
The drawing on page 83 is a nod to the Emirikol (a miracle) drawing by Tramp in DMG (page 192).
A 19th/20th level rogue has the title of Gorde (as in Gorde the Rogue)! And a 21st/24th level one is a Master Gorde!!
I think I saw a few others, but can’t recall at the moment.
Well done, Trolls!

I noticed a reference to Papers & Paychecks in the land as rewards section.
"Rolling dice and killing characters since September 1976." "Author of Wardogs! and Contributor to Iron Stars and Starmada-Admiralty ed." "Certified crazy since 2009."

Maybe a stretch, but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw it...

That's a real good thought!!
Looks like hell.
Heh, but in the CKG the pally or fighter totally looks like Davis methinks!!

Under Pitfalls, page 171, first paragraph, warning the CK not to turn the game into Paper and Paychecks.

Actually, I believe that Gord the Rogue has no "e" on the end of his name. Still a neat catch, however.

It may not have been intentional, but the description of terrycloth had me thinking of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy .

Intentional. I'd know.
