Just ask Strong Bad:<a href="http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs8.html" target="_blank">http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs8.html</a> (you have to wait until almost the end)In comedy writing, accuracy isn't important. In fact, it's ultimately a bit funnier to get it wrong. But the point is to just get all the jargon out there, because the jargon sounds funny and anyone who's ever played the game once (20 years ago) or knows someone who played recognizes some of the terms, and that illicits a laugh. Plus, "orc" is a silly word to someone who doesn't know what it means. "Druidic monk" just sounds funny too. That's all they were going for.I suspect that the writer probably doesn't play D&D, but knows someone who does. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the writer did play D&D, and just didn't care about accuracy.Personally, if pop culture wants to lump us in with Star Wars, Star Trek, and LotR--and put us first, even, I'm all for it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
