* ButtMonkey: Theo, TheBard of the group. The group considers the Bard class as a "Useless" class and Theo suffered much grief in their previous sessions, in particular the group's brief bouts of "scoff the bard". It becomes inverted when the group start their historically accurate adventure as the professor states that the bard was the 10th Century equivalent of a sex symbol as they were a source of entertainment, news, cultural sophistication and matters, while also skilled in conversation, flirtation, music, and the use of weapons, welcomed in towns and villages due to their wit and refinement, and in the know of all the latest gossip, all of which had the [[ChickMagnet ladies throwing themselves at them]]. Needless to say the rest of the group are dumbfounded while Theo spends the rest of the session in high spirits.

-->'''Theo''': ''It's good to be the bard!''
* ProductPlacement: Just before the start of their adventure, the group pull out bottles of Mountain Dew so they don't have to (pretend) drink what was considered ale in the 10th Century (a thick fermented porridge thing). Scott/Aaroc even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that they are trying for a product endorsement, GM Ben Hunter tries to protest it but changes his mind and joins them.
* ShoutOut: At one point Theo finds and bangs coconuts to mimic horse movement just like how it was done in Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail, when Jakob asks where he got the coconuts, Malone quickly shuts that line of questioning because in real life quoting from the The Holy Grail has become such a tradition among DND players due to its close association with Medieval Fantasy, that sometimes players can end up quoting the whole movie before moving on with the session.

* NoBudget: A considerable deal of subterfuge was used in making the film. The crew has to sneak into one of the locations to film, repainted the walls, filmed the scenes, then quickly painted the walls their original color before anyone was the wiser. Another location which required script approval before granting permission to use the grounds was given an altered screenplay so they would grant access to the crew.
** Nearly all the equipment used in the production was borrowed. The director lost access to the equipment with two days left in the filming schedule, and had to find a replacement lender right away to finish the production. As it were, both assistant Directors of Photography who were supplying the equipment proved to be unpopular on set, but had to be dealt with, as the film would never have been made otherwise. The director saw fit to outfit himself with all his own equipment from then on to never be in that position again.

[[caption-width-right:341:For When Your DND Sessions Get Too Easy]]

->''"So what do six gamers do when the game just gets too easy? They get real, of course. A chance encounter with a professor and the lads have a historically accurate adventure for their characters. Soon they're up to their poisoned daggers in battles, travels, molten hot medieval chicks, and naughty bishops. But will the guys have the opportunity to discover that with history, it's what you don't know that will kill you?"''
