It should come as no surprise by this point that Assassin's Creed Valhalla is absolutely filled with Easter eggs and references to other franchises and real-life odds and ends, but it is still a delight when a new one gets brought to attention as more players discover it. And the latest of these is the fact that there appears to be a group of in-game characters that were, at one time, playing Assassin Creed Valhalla's own version of Dungeons & Dragons.

Basically, in one of the game's area's in Wessex, players can stumble across a group of character sheets for a game called "Prisons & Pyewackets" that obviously reference D&D, though basically any fantasy tabletop role-playing game would have sufficed. The fictional, er, fictional party includes an archer, a warlock, a druid, and a "bearserker." You can check out the whole thing, shared by Twitch streamer Jambo, below:

Now if only Ubisoft would release an actual set of rules for "Prisons & Pyewackets," then we'd all be able to join in. Who wouldn't want to play as a bearserker? Whatever the case, it is a lovely nod to the popular tabletop role-playing game.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC. You can check out all of our previous coverage of the latest and greatest Assassin's Creed title right here.
