The Tropes Thread
Posted: Sun Mar 25, 2012 11:15 pm
I know we've done this a couple times before, but, what the hell, I've been thinking about it a lot lately.
For those who don't know, TVTropes is a wiki that collects, defines and indexes storytelling & character devices. It's great fun, and I've found lately that it can be a good way to discover things about characters and stories that you never really thought about. So, I thought I'd start a new thread to post and discuss tropes for each other's characters (and our own). I'll probably be editing this opening post to be an index of them in one place.
I'll start off with a few general guild ones for tonight. More later.
The Wildfire Riders
Anti Heroes (Types 2-4) & Anti Villains (Types 1-2): both self-explanatory.
Bad Guy Bar: the Pig & Whistle
Equal-Opportunity Evil: well, they're pretty diverse!
Honor Among Thieves: a bit dodgy, sure, but they watch out for each other.
Neighborhood Friendly Gangsters: ...and for Old Town as well.
Private Military Contractors: the foundation of the business.
Have at it, kids. I'll probably add a few character-specific ones tonight.
