Title: “DND characters I’ve been banned from playing.”
A drawing of a smiling woman with pointed ears and a blond updo looks at us. She wears a green dress like a folded leaf, with yellow and blacked striped tights underneath. Bees buzz around her.
Caption: “Swarm druid with beehive hairstyle, but it’s a real beehive.”
A drawing of a red-skinned person with horns and yellow eyes without pupils reads from a book. Cards float above their hand. Their robe bears a red B symbol, in the style of the D&D Beyond logo.
Caption: “Warlock who is directly pacted to Wizards Of The Coast.”
A drawing of a zombie-like person in tattered clothes holding a staff made of bones looks at us. The staff glows green.
Caption: “Necromancer who raised themselves from the dead, and now has to maintain the spell.”
A drawing of a person-sized mechanical snake with a drill bit for a tail and a piece of wire as a tongue.
Caption: “Warforged druid who wildshapes by physically reconfiguring their body.”
A drawing of a large cloud of red and yellow energy, with a tiny silhouette of a person with arms outstretched at the center.

Fuck it, let’s dispense with the pretense, it’s Inigo Montoya. I played Inigo Montoya.
I actually wrote “Like a transformer” in the initial draft, but canned the wording, because I figured that there’d be some (small) proportion of the audience that’d be unfamiliar with the IP.
That first one reminded me of a story I heard at a small SF convention in LA back in the '90s.
This writer was working on The Real Ghostbusters (long story behind that name) and in the episode they go in the space shuttle to a space station. Everyone on the space station is a Star Trek character analog and so hilarity ensues as the rest of the episode is just a Star Trek spoof.
One of the characters is based on Janice Rand who, in the show, had a basket-weave hairdo. The writer included in the script a note to the animators about her hair. The animators were Asian and did not know what a basket-weave was, and it being pre-Wikipedia, they just made an assumption. The test animation they got back had the Janice Rand-alike with a basket literally woven into her hair.
