Not sure if this was intentional....
However the text on the card: "Mark Appleton" reading- "I have a plan"

That phrase was a constant and recurrent phrase on the TV sitcom "Hogan's Heroes"
Generally,
"I have a plan"
or
"Gather round, I have a plan"

I'm guessing the card "Crazy Eddy's Discount Depot" from the Beowulf deck is based on the infamous Eddie Antar, who founded ERS Electronics(later renamed "Crazy Eddie") with his family and later plead guilty to crimes related to the collapse of that chain?

The image looks nothing like Mr. Antar

Really?

"Remember That Time..." in the Beowulf deck...
I can only say to that....
"......in band camp?"

American Pie anyone?

Hmm,

This one is tough because it is a question of what you intended?

There is the common phrase: "They that sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind"
Then there is the Star Trek novel: "Reap the Whirlwind" by David Mack

And then, there is Misty ( Lackey, but Misty in the SCA) and Caroline's(Cherryh) book of the same name (which I liked better than Mr. Mack's book)
(Just don't mix Misty with Leslie the Bard, like I almost did on Horde Hill....that was nearly a fatal mistake!)

So...you get to chose?

I honestly didn't think anyone would get this one.

Helloo!

Newly joined up. Love the game.

I know that the Wash-inspired crew card has been flagged already for the egg, but I haven't seen anyone anywhere mention that his name is "Hoban Tudyk" backwards.

Just had to get that off my chest...
