Set on fire and burned after being raised as a zombie–but who hasn’t done that to a friend from time to time. This is of course a reference to both the Village of Hommlet and the Temple of Elemental Evil, two classic modules (the one expanded into the other) that would go down in history as one of the best dungeons out there. The Village of Hommletĭescribing a trip cut short to the Temple of Elemental Evil, a young adventurer also mentions a return to the Village of Hommlet, overseen by Rufus and Burne, the two erstwhile rulers of the village (beset, though it is, by raiders under the auspices of Lord Robilar). Goblin For “We Surrender”īree-Yark is definitely not goblin for “We Surrender!” Folks who played the classic module B-2, Keep on the Borderlands will recognize this as the goblin rallying cry of “Hey Rube!” Which instead summons any nearby goblins to come wail on whatever sucker has wandered in to their encampment. So open up a rabbit hole of easter eggs and secret inside-jokes woven throughout the pages and take a look at a few of our favorite first edition Easter Eggs. All it took was a simple “huh, that’s interesting, I didn’t know they had goblin words.” Hidden within the monster-strewn pages of the 5th Edition Monster Manual are myriad references to the editions that have come before.
You’re never a tourist in your own city–but sometimes, all it takes is someone new to come along and point out something that’s been there all along that you’ve just never noticed. D&D’s Monster Manual isn’t just full of monsters – it’s packed with loads of inside jokes and Easter Eggs.
