OK, who wants to stat these up, from this week's episode, "Fry Am the Egg Man?" Any system you like.

Dang, I was going to watch it and forgot. Now I'll have to look for the reruns.

Hey I just got it ... Gygax Icon, as in Gygax the man who is an Icon ... get it! jaja, sorry.

Love Futurama, love geek related jokes

its not gygax and icon mixed...its a play on words, think necronomicon or dracomicon (or comicon), its a collection of something. If you watch enough Futurama you see A LOT of D&D references.

Now we actually have a larger issues....what is the Gygaxicon?
Monsters? Spells? Items?
Does it relate to Greyhawk?

We have more research to do.

The Gygaxicon is at least partially a Monster Manual. It's where they looked up the Bone Vampire (which has "Attack Type J").

Not Comicon, that's short for "COMIc CONvention".

touche, but the others are still good examples of what it is referring too.

Of course...what if that's what they want you to think?
