D&D 5E PHB Disclaimer - Epic!

[GameDoc]

Just caught this. In fine print on the credit page, beneath the thumbnail of the cover art:

Disclaimer: Wizards of the Coast is not responsible for the consequences of splitting the party, sticking appendages in the mouth of a leering green devil face, accepting a dinner invitation from bugbears, storming the feast hall of a hill giant steading, angering a dragon of any variety, or answering yes when the DM asks: "Are you sure?"

There's also one in Hoard of the Dragon Queen!

Disclaimer: The following adventure contains chromatic dragons. Wizards of the Coast cannot be held liable for characters who are incinerated, dissolved, frozen, poisoned, or electrocuted.

 

[GameDoc]

Awesome.

Here's the Monster Manual disclaimer.

Disclaimer: Any similarities between monsters depicted in this book and monsters that actually exist are purely coincidental. That goes double for mind flayers, which absolutely, utterly, and completely do not exist, nor do they secretly run the D&D team. Do we really need a disclaimer to tell you that? You shouldn't use your brain to consider such irrational thoughts. They only make the mind cluttered, confused, and unpleasantly chewy. A good brain is nice, tender, and barely used. Go ahead, put down this book and watch some reality TV or Internet cat videos. They're really funny these days. You won't regret it. We say this only because we love you and your juicy, succulent gamer brains.

In there are references to many different modules but is "accepting a dinner invitation from bugbears" a reference to something I'm just not remembering?

Keep on the Borderlands/Caves of Chaos

Thanks, I do not remember ever running across a dinner invitation in there. I do not know how I could have missed that for the past thirty years.

Thanks, I do not remember ever running across a dinner invitation in there. I do not know how I could have missed that for the past thirty years.

It's on page 19 of KotB:

BUGBEAR LAIR: The group of bugbears is not numerous,
but what it lacks in numbers, it makes up for in strength
and cunning. There are signs beside the entrance cave
in kobold, orcish, goblin, etc. Each says: “Safety,
security and repose for all humanoids who enter -
WELCOME! (Come in and report to the first guard on the
left for a hot meal and bed assignment.)”

I love these disclaimers unconditionally. It's good to see some humor back in the game.

Certainly different from the disclaimer "This game is fantasy" that appeared in the 3e PHB.
