''Dungeons: The Dragoning''. A blend of so many [[Tabletop Games]] and other references, it might be hard to sort them out. That's why
----
Line 6:
* In the new book, there is a gun kata restriction that requires that you make the attack with a pistol. It's called the [[Metal Gear Solid|Ocelot's Roar]].
* In the setting description, the creation of the aasimar and tieflings paraphrases a quote about the Space Marines of 40K
* The beginning of the introduction is an altered version of Andrew Ryan's famous speech from ''[[
* [[Iron Kingdoms|Page 5]]
* [[Warhammer
* Obviously, the major influences are ''[[Dungeons
* The sample image for the Paragon is [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|The Boss]].
** The sample image for the Tiefling race is [[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Scanty and Kneesocks]].
** Likewise the sample image for the Human race is [[Mass Effect|Male!Shep]].
Line 16:
*** The Underdark in Commorragh is basically The City of [[Blame]].
** The picture used to represent Daemonhosts is the Maiden of the Mirthless Smile, an Abyssal Exalt.
** The sample [[Badass Automaton|Promethean]] is [[Ghost in the Shell|The Major]]
* One of the stories has a character with a [[Warhammer
* Another of the story excerpts has characters chartering a ship called [[Star Wars|the Thousand-Year Eagle from a pilot and his half-orc copilot in order to avoid Imperial entanglements]].
** Another has a [[We Can Rule Together]] and [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] scene right out of ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]''. "If you only knew the power of the C'Tan..."
Line 29:
* One of the settings - Carceri - is one big ''[[STALKER]]'' [[Shout-Out]], with a heaping of [[Outlaw Star]]. The head honcho at the closest thing to a main city there is called Sidorovich. The mysterious "Shipyard X-18" is an installation run by "the government", protected by pirates, and tasked with designing ships that can penetrate deeper into Carceri's deepest layers using a unique navigation system. It even has the [[Literal Genie|Wish Granter]] as an adventure hook!
* [[Half Life|We don't go to Pandemonium any more.]] It even has a city called Ravenholm.
* The following exchange, in an intermission page that is a recreation of a scene from [[The Lord of the Rings]];
{{quote|
''"Walker?"'' Boromos asked, quietly. ''"[[Chuck Norris|Norris']] heir?"'' }}
* The Evocation spell Energy Grip makes [[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|your hand glow with an awesome power]].
Line 39:
* The story at the end of chapter 3 is a reference to a dialogue from the first episode of [[Slayers]].
* The excerpt before chapter 9 is a reference to the final episode of [[Cowboy Bebop]].
* The "7th Edition" logo on the cover is taken from ''[[
* On the more obscure side of references, in possible adventure hooks for the crystal sphere Arcadia, it's mentioned that the farm animals could be positioned to form logic gates and the whole planet might be a computer. This is a double-reference to ''[[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'', and a legendary thread on [[Image Boards|/tg/]], where somebody suggested that since Necromancers can give their undead creations simple commands, it could be possible to make an undead-powered computer, which posters nicknamed "Deep Rot" (itself a reference to HG2G).
** As well as the bizarre world-computers made in games like ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' and ''[[Minecraft]]''.
Line 45:
* The most recent version makes the Eldar's standard clothing [[Mass Effect|air-tight suits with opaque visors, along with attachment to their home ships.]]
** There's a good deal of [[Mass Effect]] references throughout the book. The war between Eladrin and Humans is a direct reference to the Relay 314 Incident, Mention of "The Reapers", The Portal Relays, Eladrin pilgrimages, The fall of the Eladrin which details a few things like migrant fleets, the Council. There's probably even more then this.
* The Daemonhost Sin Assets are a reference to the demonic classifications of [[Dragon Age Origins]].
* Edition 1.4 adds a parody of the Library scene from Ghostbusters with a Daemonhost.
* The Paragon powers are [[Mulan|Swift as the Coursing River,]] [[Ear Worm|Force of a Great Typhoon,]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Strength of a Raging Fire]] and [[Training Montage|Mysterious as the Dark Side of the Moon]].
* The excerpt at the end of Chapter 14 is the "Get Three Coffins Ready" scene from [[A Fistful of Dollars]].
* The Modrons of [[Planescape|Mechanus]] are now Necrons, and the plane itself resembles [[Magic: The Gathering|Phyrexia]].
* The example of a "typical game" has characters from various anime, including [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rei Ayanami]], who thinks tabletop games are like ''[[World of Warcraft]]''.
* One story excerpt is a ''[[Slayers]]'' reference with the [[Serial Numbers Filed Off]].
* The largest Dark Eldarin settlement is called [[The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind|Vivec]].
** In addition, the furthest planet from the sun of Gehenna, which is frozen solid apart from the volcanic rifts, is called Soltheim.
* ''"Some have even unlocked their secrets through intense personal meditation and study, with no teacher to guide them save their own desire [[Pokémon|to be the very best, like no other warrior ever was]]."''
