Ok.. I'll take one...?

Surprising what a quick Google search comes up with. :lol:

I'll trade a copy of Pegasus #13 for The Caverns of Draconis, two copies if shrinked. I didn't catch the entire episode last night, but was surprised to see so much old-school stuff. There's a 4e trade paperback shown on the DM's desk, but everything else appears to be mid-80s or earlier: the Web of Lolth from Q1 also on his desk, the milk crate rifled through by Chevy Chase. Any other notables?

LOL. Thanks for the heads-up on this. I would have gotten around to watching the episode eventually, but I don't normally tune in at its regularly scheduled time.

I also was gratified to see that they went the AD&D route rather than make it "current". Too funny, although it's slightly embarrassing to see how D&D players are viewed through non-gamers' eyes

What a great episode. I'm sure it will end up being a one time thing, but maybe Fat Neil will reconsider suicide say, once a season and the gang can get together for another session.

Yes. "Community" on NBC. You can watch the episode at NBC.com. I just finished watching it myself.

Best portrayal of D&D gaming in popular culture EVER. And too many funny lines to count.....

I've watched it three times today

, and even my wife (who is decidedly NOT a D&Der) was laughing out loud because she understood enough to identify.

Yes... good show.
Is there truly a module by that name?
Even if written only for that show it should be interesting.

It's just a mock-up. You can clearly see the maps from Q1 on the table around 3:27 in.

Thanks for the post. I was in tears with Chevy Chase.

(BITD we had one of those guys at our game table too. No girls though.)

If you have not seen the episode, it is available on Hulu:

True, but it's still a front and back cover at least. Would be a cool item to add to a collection. Anyone have connections in Hollywood?
