Dreams of 20-sided mana-draining fairies now dance in our head thanks to Monster Manual, a music video by Mixel PIxel dedicated to AD&D; it’s animated by the prolific Dan Meth.
The Hidden Mickey isn’t that hidden with this Jam Home Made Secret Mickey Watch, but we like the way it’s integrated with the three chrono dials; note that the Mouse is Japan-only.
