Line 13:
Callie: Originally just a good-looking female that Theodore hires to attract people to his Mages & Monster game, she's later revealed to be a member of the local vampire LARP group. Mike has a rather evident crush on her, but it's unrequited.
 
Theodore Duvek: The head of the university's two-person [[Dungeons and& Dragons|Mages & Monsters]] club. After using Callie to convince Shesh, Mike, and Jen to play with him, his hardcore style of [[R Ping]] invokes Shesh's sinister alter ego. Theodore becomes instantly fascinated by it, and decides to tag alongside Shesh in order to help him win games and control his 'gift'. Theodore's goal is to create a RPG so wonderful, the world will want to choose it over reality, which will certainly impress the person who taught him about RPGs.
 
Rona Orzack: Has a grudge against people whom dedicate their entire lives to any form of RPG, be it live-action or card-based. This causes her to take drastic actions at times, such as throwing a boy's card collection into a furnace, and attempting to shoot at Callie's friends when they creep her out.
Line 24:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Shesh's evil side has a trigger phrase that brings him out, if you pay close attention. {{spoiler|"My character," even if blended into another word such as, for example, "characteristics."}}
* [[Bifauxnen]]: Jen, who is annoyed at how frequently she mistaken for a boy
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: It starts with ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons|Mages And Monsters]]'' and ''[[World of Warcraft|World Of Warlords]]'', but goes as far as ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|The Dead Sea Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' (now available on the [[PlayStationPlay Station 3|PSZ]]!), which for [[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope|obvious reasons]] never goes by its installment name.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Gavin, who appears in the second chapter, can be clearly identified in the picture that accompanies the first chapter's title.
* [[Fan Service]]: Cassie, literally; she was hired to attract people to Theodore's M&M group.
Line 36:
* [[Shout-Out]]: In addition to the thinly veilled jabs at popular RPGs of all types, there are some that are more cleverly executed. For example, [[Death Note|Theodore is all three of California's greatest Game Masters.]]
** The "Cosmic Genocide" card game is based on an old but still rather obscure [[Board Games|board game]] called ''Cosmic Encounter''.
** Also, the way that Shesh wins the "Cosmic Encounter" game {{spoiler|by tearing to pieces a card that destroys any card it falls on top of, then throwing the pieces at all of Gavin's cards}} is possibly based on an urban legend from the early days of [[Magic: The Gathering]] about a player who did esentially the same thing
* [[Spell My Name with an "S"]]: According to the first chapter, Shesh's name is misspelled as 'Seth' by someone every day
* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: Shesh has one, which his grandfather once dubbed "Choshek Shesh".
