 Multi-sided dice are often used in role-playing games. | |
| First reference: | Genesis |
Hiro is a big fan of, and frequently references, role-playing games or RPGs in his blog. In both tabletop and video role-playing games, the idea is to portray particular characters, deciding their actions and playing through their story as they adventure, develop, and grow.

Generic RPG References
- In Stardate 1759.3, Hiro says, "Hiro crits potato chip bag for 182 damage."
- In Stardate 1759.6, Hiro says, "Hiro hits Ando-kun for 53 damage. 19 blocked."
- In Stardate 1780.4, Hiro says the Corinthian Casino closet in which he was locked is full of fake armor, "The kind you would start off an RPG with and immediately sell after a better one drops."
- In Stardate 1784.0, Hiro says, "I'm at full HP and MP, and have all my elixirs. It's time to take down the last boss," and "There is no save point. There is no reset."
- A crossword puzzle clue on Hiro's blog reads "/target"; the answer is "MA" which stands for "Main Assist", the target selector for a party or raid in massively multiplayer online roleplaying games. Another clue reads "Raid leader: 'He's at 50% and nobody is dead'; the answer is "keepitup" (keep it up), a phrase often uttered by video game players when the boss is hypothetically at 50% power and the player still has his full complement of players.
Dragon Quest
Dragon Quest is a console role-playing game series developed by Enix (later Square-Enix). Originally made for the Nintendo Entertainment System, it has expanded to other platforms, including the PS1, PS2, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, and Nintendo DS. Incredibly popular in Japan, it has also enjoyed nominal popularity in North America.

- Hiro also makes reference to "Return" in Stardate 1758.5; "I can't really fight. No weapons. My current spells would be Quick, Return, and Teleport."
