Rather gratuitous pandering to D&D fans here. And not even up-to-date pandering either - AD&D was released in 1989, and by the time Eliezer started writing HPMOR in 2010, D&D 4th Edition had already been out for 2 years.

HP is set in the nineties.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that the first HP book was released in 1997. Then that also invalidates my comment about Amazon being the better way to browse for new books.

I think the first book is set in the beginning of nineties. Though I have no idea whether Yud knows this if he has not read them.
