- The Skull Drinking Cup from World of Warcraft with "So thirsty..." in its description is a reference to "Skulls".
- "Rite of Passage" is a big one to the Hand in the Holenote scene from the 1980 Flash Gordon film.
- "Ornithology" is one to The Hobbit, and the general "why didn't they just use the eagles" debate that's dogged The Lord of the Rings. "The Lonely Mountain" and "The Wily Worm" follows this up with two dragons that are clear Expies of Smaug (one of whom gets sweet-talked by a Bilbo-esque real-estate scammer).
- The Alt Text to the strip where a woman tells a man he's safe from arrest if he's inside her "Embassy" says "I had that Cult song stuck in my head the whole time." That song presumably being "She Sells Sanctuary".
- In the words of the Alt Text for page three of "Lapis Lazuli", "Thank you, cover of the Players' Handbook." - to be exact, the first edition's Players' Handbook cover, which depicts individuals prying the gem eyes of a large statue like the ending of "Lapis Lazuli".
- Grier manages one to Wonder Woman's golden lasso in the third page of "Grill", saying to an interrogation subject that he will tell the truth if she ties him up with it. When he points out it's not golden, she says it isn't magic either.
- "Synod" parodies the Real Life Cadaver Synod.
- The store sells "Oglaf tracts" that are an obvious parody of Chick Tracts. The first character in "Throne of Heaven" should also look familiar to anyone who has read a Chick Tract.
- In "Dimorphism", the female version of the death-cap is, of course, the Lady Death-cap.
- The rebels against the Cock Tax in "The Yoke" seem to have taken some visual inspiration (including a massive barricade) from Les Misérables.
- "Knights and Knaves" has the large engraved mouth◊ (which is a Death Trap containing a Sphere of Annihilation, mentioned in the Alt Text as having "many kitchen uses") from the infamous Tomb of Horrors D&D module in the far bottom-left of the strip. This particular story's concept may have even been inspired by savvy players deciding to steal the Tomb's valuable doors.
- "Hurly-Burly" is one to Macbeth, consisting of three ethereal women appear to a guy to have lesbian sex in front of him while telling him a prophecy. Said prophecy is to repeat that he's going to be king before changing at the last second to mock him by saying he'll be "wank-king" (which he, of course, is doing so right now). He tells his actual king about meeting some witches who did the worst pun, who responds that the same thing happened to him right before he became king. Like Macbeth, the guy clearly now has it in his head to become a king because of the "prophecy" (and the Alt Text for the second page is a parody of the famous "Fair is foul and foul is fair" line from the play).
- In "Prophylaxis" Navaan explains what she does for a living as a doctor:
- Tall Sonja is a pretty obvious parody of Red Sonja.
- The erstwhile Chosen One of "Pay to Win" is clearly inspired by Link, with the framing of a hero falling victim to Shoplift and Die due to No Hero Discount probably being based on The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
- "Eyeroll" features a sword that allows the devil to peer through the eye in its hilt, a clear reference to the Master of Masters' Gazing Eye.
