** In ''Life Of The (Adventuring) Party'', Nathan tells Caldwell that he "should not have a child" after he makes some (hopefully) joking comments about being bothered by how chubby babies are, and offering some... ''[[WouldHurtAChild creative]]'' solutions to this "issue." Between the recording and the rerelease of the episode, Caldwell became a father for real.

* CreepyAwesome: Allhands, a MagnificentBastard with a VoiceOfTheLegion, ''several'' cool designs and an EvilPlan which actually ''worked'' for years before he bit on more than he could chew. General consensus seems to be that he made an excellent final boss for the Ladies Book Club. The players even felt a bit bad for having to kill such an awesome character.

* SequelDisplacement: Not initially an issue, as Season Three originally premiered shortly after the Season Two finale, (to the point that ''both'' were advertised on Drawga LIVE.) However, when the former was rereleased on Website/YouTube (uncensored ''and'' complete, this time) many viewers confused it for a new show, with some even clamoring for a "second" season.

* ValuesDissonance: A surprisingly quick example. The penultimate episode has all four players sharing a single drink with one another. As increased health regulations were put in place during the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic to slow down the spreading of the virus, many viewers pointed out how this now seemed completely irresponsible.

** Season Three has some reference to Myth/NorseMythology, which Caldwell admitted to being unfamiliar with. Coincidentslly, it also has cows wandering a frozen wasteland. The players would later learn that one of the first beings in Norse myth actually ''was'' a cow, who was born from the melting rime of a primordial glacier.

Added DiffLines:

** The series finale also has the Ladies Book Club experience loneliness after being temporarily and forcibly seperated. Then the New York City lockdowns happened, and the cast of WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} would themselves bemoan how they weren't able to hang out together in person anymore. (Though unlike their characters, they at least weren't stopped from staying in touch by other means.)

* HarsherInHindsight: Ryjinah's dream of becoming an Internet celebrity, briefly reaching that goal, only for people to move on from her and be told by DM Caldwell Tanner that "the legend of Barfgirl is dying before your eyes" unintentionally mirrors the fate of Season Three, which had the highest budget and fastest release schedule in the history of Drawga, only to be CutShort after less than a month. To make matters worse, the above quote appeared in what was then the last episode. Though this is ''very'' much mitigated by WebVideo/{{Drawfee}} surviving the Website/CollegeHumor layoff as an independent channel, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXeqXZ7b-K0 the announcement that the remaining episodes of Drawga would be released on Youtube, after all.]]

** The backstory of Season Three involves a large-scale disaster which -- aside from an implied body count -- also put a dent in the economy and forced many smaller businesses to close down. The UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic [[LifeImitatesArt ended up having a rather similar effect on the world.]] Legzi also ''tries'' to defeat the BigBad with what is essentially a home-made (and likely ''not'' doctor-approved) vaccine. Watching the final episode as it aired on Website/YouTube (almost a year after the season premiered) became rather bittersweet, as it has a HappyEnding where "life starts returning to normal" in Somewherica, which decidedly ''hadn't'' happened yet in RealLife.

* FanPreferredCouple: Ryjinah and Legzi are a fairly popular pairing. It probably helps that neither character have any long-running love interests, and that their LesYay was acknowledged in the show itself.
** OneTrueThreesome: Others just take to shipping the entire Ladies Book Club trio with each other. Not ''that'' big of a stretch, as they have a [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Romantic Three Girl Friendship]] and are ''canonically'' soul mates. Again, the ShipTease was acknowledged in the actual show.

** The original drawing challenge has the players jokingly ask if there's any DM willing to run a ''Ladies Book Club'' campaign in New York. Seems like Caldwell decided that if he wanted something done, he'd better do it himself.
