D&D 5E Easter Eggs in 5E

PHB Trinkets - 73, 53, something that ends in a 3 - One of the trinkets is a wine bottle with a label on it. It's a reference to module B7 Rahasia by Tracy & Laura Hickman.

One of the trinkets is the 80's game Simon.

It's 93. Speaking of the trinket table, I'm pretty sure item 34 is a 9-volt battery.

31 is a sheriff's badge, 35 is suspiciously reminiscent of Michael Jackson's glove...

I'd just like to remind you that instead of joining in on the fun, you are arguing over terminology. Which is no fun at all.

Easter Egg fail. You were supposed to say: "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

 

[Mistwell]

I don't know if, "cultural reference in plain sight," really counts as an Easter Egg.

It does. Also why are you messing with peoples fun with this weird meaningless linguistics argument?

As for other Easter Eggs, I think Morrus pointed out earlier that there is a Dr. Who Tardis on one of the PHB equipment pages.

It's definitely a 9-volt battery and it's my favorite so far.

In the MM, the d text in the goblin entry (about "bree-yark") is a reference to the Keep on the Borderlands module.

Are you sure this is what you want?

There's got to be a way to up the ante and turn this into an edition war.

(The potted plant is still my favorite. )

I haven't gotten the 5e books yet (a combination of having no group to play with and being SO. VERY. BROKE.) despite loving everything I read about this edition, but this thread somehow makes me lovingly remember the little cartoons in the 1st edition DMG. It's that bit of humor about the whole enterprise, combined with the freedom of "here are options, just roll something ...or don't!" that make me want to squee in furious glee (with my one Michael Jackson glove)...
