* AllYourPowersCombined: Each of the main trio has a "gemerald" with special powers, which can be combined to unleash even more powerful effects. Eloy's and Ezra's together stop time, while all three summon the Yeldin and transform it into a HumongousMecha.
* {{Flanderization}}: All of the characters have had their personalities simplified to make them work better as cartoon characters.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Gulfur is shown to love drinking juice, in a manner that suggests it's a substitute for a more adult vice.
* LeaderFormsTheHead: Ezra, as the leader of the Wonders, lands in the control center at the head of the mecha-Yeldin and coordinates the efforts of the other protagonists.
* NoSmoking: Averted-- Redd is introduced smoking a pipe in the library. Lani lampshades this as being [[ValuesDissonance an 80s cartoon]].
* ParentalBonus: Cleocatra is described as the token overly-sexualized female character with implausible curves designed to give any dads watching some entertainment.
* ThePowerOfRock: Eloy's magic keytar launches elemental spells that are named after different genres of music.
* {{Troperrific}}: The central idea of the episode is to run with all of the cheesy 80s and 90s cartoon tropes the players and DM can possibly invoke.

!! The TFS at the Table D&D Campaign contains examples of:
* AllDeathsFinal: Downplayed- resurrection does exist, but it's rare and has a high chance of [[CameBackWrong going awry]]; as such, most folks opt not to risk it.
* AnachronismStew: The setting has the regular trappings of medieval fantasy, plus aspects of Age of Exploration technology, particularly ships, cannon and early firearms.
* ArmiesAreEvil: This is implied with the Navy, who are described as having extremely draconian methods of dealing with both their enemies and their own kind who have betrayed or failed them, and strip-mining magic from the environment to the extent that it causes abominations to appear. However, these accounts all come from biased sources, and all the naval members seen so far behave as normal soldiers, if a bit haughty, so the true extent of their evil is unclear.
* BodyHorror: Zito's descriptions of undead creatures feature this in spades, starting with the Abyssals, which are corpses possessed by necrotic tumors that can grow into random heads. Zombies are skeletons with a thin veneer of skin over their faces, which pops like a balloon when they're disturbed. Venon Island features undead deer whose skin pulls back from their mouths when threatened, revealing bony spikes, and when killed a skeleton of their original non-deer bodies drops out of their middle.
* CameBackWrong: People who are inexpertly resurrected tend to come back as zombies, and this is implied to be the norm when resurrection is attempted.
* EldritchAbomination: The Abyssals are undead amalgamations of lost souls possessing corpses, creating multi-headed shambling monstrosities that deal intense psychic damage to anyone who touches them.
* GaiasVengeance: Abyssals appear as a result of reckless overuse of magic, although they're not directed and are as likely to harm innocents as the perpetrators. In one instance, the Navy's routine magical strip-mining operation summoned a creature called Ugothoya described as being so colossal that a single tooth was enough to destroy an island.
* GetOnTheBoat: At the end of Chapter 1, the party acquire a LivingShip which becomes the primary home for them and their crew, and their ticket to roam the various seas in search of adventure.
* HomeAloneAntics: In preparation for the attack on the tavern at the end of the Wendigo arc, the party and their allies create as many traps as they can muster to fend off the oncoming waves of zombies. These, combined with some miraculous cannon shots, prove so effective that only a handful of enemies make it into the tavern.
* InsistentTerminology: The party are privateers, not pirates, and are keen to point this out should it be forgotten, because they're not officially on the side of any major faction, and thus not opposed to them either.
* TheMagicVersusTechnologyWar: The conflict between the Navy and Pirates has aspects of this, as the Navy uses magic to the utmost possible degree, while the Pirate Lords are responsible for the Grand Design, an attempt to create a power source that doesn't overuse magic and rile Abyssals.
* {{Magitek}}: Some firearms are enhanced with magic, such as Skrung's pistol which can fire bullets imbued with Magic Missile. The Gimme Brothers in Jahal Cove specialize in this.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot:
** The South Island of Jahal Cove has the Talon Riders, a tribe of gnolls (dog-men) in bone armor who ride tamed velociraptors.
** Apparently vampirism isn't limited in this universe to intelligent beings; in one situation a sinking ship leaks vampire blood into the ocean, resulting in a horde of vampiric sharks.
* OceanPunk: The setting features large landmasses, but
* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: This is enforced in Chapter 1, as the Abyssal threat has the pirate town of Jahal Cove on lockdown with no sailor (legitimate or otherwise) able to ply their trade. The town leaders are retired and not up to piratical activities anyway, [[spoiler: until the end of Chapter 1 when they agree to leave the Cove as part of a deal with the Navy]].
* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Chapter 2 episode 6 transforms into a TowerDefense game as the party places cannon and various traps to hold off multiple waves of the Wendigo's undead servants.
* WoodenShipsAndIronMen: The setting has strong flavors of this, combined with traditional medieval fantasy.
* YouAllMeetInAnInn: A variation begins the first episode, where the protagonists are aboard a ferry for their own purposes, and as it happens their first encounter involves the food service.
