TPK 44 - Three Segments You Didn’t Think We’d Make (Patreon)
On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
If you have ever watched a movie or TV show, played a game or read a book, you have probably noticed some typical character archetypes. At a certain point these become tropes that are easy to fall back on as writing devices. But does that mean you should play one in your games? We look at a list of 15 character tropes to see how these could work in your games and whether they should. Along the way, we find the worst character tropes that are being addressed today and talk about Shrek more than you might think.

We have even more tropes. This time we look at 10 RPG tropes that are (apparently) not around anymore. We may take issue with that assertion. Is it just wishful thinking that high fantasy settings or impractical costumes are going by the wayside? We’ll break down this list while asking if we still see or want these in our games.

And thus, even more tropes. This time, we look at 6 RPG tropes that are not actually fun. What tropes have gotten to a place that they are aggravating for players and why should we avoid them?
Yes, it’s another trope list - https://mythcreants.com/blog/six-classic-roleplaying-tropes-that-arent-actually-fun/
