One of my favorite parts of Spencer's D&Ding, especially early on in the Harmontown podcast tapings, is the references to Magic: The Gathering. Place names, monster names, item names - lots of stuff. It's like a bunch of Easter eggs.

This AMA is crawling with Nidoran.

Lim-Dul is one that sticks out to me at the moment. There are a bunch of Lim-Dul cards, and Spencer used it to name something in an earlier episode. An item, I think.

And there's an Ember Hauler, though not a mauler: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=208008&type=card

How much help did you give Dan on the video game Community episode? Some aspects of the episode remind me of things that happened during Harmontown D&D, like the "robot baby town" Abed ends up creating for himself. Did you get to sit down with the writers at all, or do you think Dan just channeled Harmontown when breaking the story?
