This makes me think. By now, werewolves and vampires are mythological beings we use as entertainment and find great joy in discussing even though we know they're not real. Hundreds of years from now, maybe popular culture (D&D 86e or something) will be filled with Jewish Space Lasers.

Larry Niven once wrote a story with the throwaway line "the Berlin Nazis football team."

I was a little miffed the first time I read it, but eventually I got the idea that in the future, Nazis are as scary as pirates and raiders and Spartans are today.

D&D even already has golems, phylacteries and cabals
