* TimeyWimeyBall: Referenced when Frank [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=1140 tries to come up with]] a new CharacterClass - [[WhateverMancy The Physicsomancer]], a character that would apply [[DeconstructedTrope real-world consequences to a fantasy setting]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: One of the gang's game-breaking schemes manages to [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=1222 disgust even the undead monstrosity they (accidentally) created]].
-->"I may be a monster...well, [[BodyOfBodies several monsters]], but there's only so much even I can take. You people are animals, and not ones I would care to dine on. Good day!"

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: One of Frank's campaigns has the standard fantasy world setup but actually exists centuries after a peaceful society where all the races lived in unity was wiped out by a cataclysm. A time traveler attempting to avert the cataclysm accidentally strands the party in the past, where they proceed to ''cause'' the cataclysm by stoking racial tensions until the society tears itself apart.

* AfterTheEnd: The gang run post-apocalyptic campaigns all the time. Often after they've [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroyed the world in the previous campaign]].

** When Lewis mentions ''VideoGame/StarCitizen'' coming out next year (in 2018), the narration helpfully cuts in with "[[{{Vaporware}} Just kidding, it'll never be finished]]." [[invoked]]

* OffTheRails: Sort of the rule of any game we see them playing, rather than the exception.

* BedlamHouse: One ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'' campaign had the players as "responsible adults" running an asylum for the inevitable victims of cosmic horror, getting paid to treat and contain them. They immediately start abusing their patients for profit.

* LogicBomb / MindScrew: InUniverse, the group [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=265 gets stuck on pondering]] whether Dragonborn females [[NonMammalMammaries would have breasts or not]].
-->'''Shawn''': So... would they be ''scaly''? Wait, why am I asking that?

** The main characters went to a New Years Eve party at the "Goblin Hole" and look through their pockets to figure out what they did while under the influence of "Klingon War Nog". Frank finds a character sheet for the elf ranger from the ''[[Film/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' movie, Lewis finds a receipt for the ''VideoGame/{{Everquest}}'' sourcebooks, and Nelson (who hates anime) found ''Anime/YuGiOh'' cards.

* BadAssSanta / AnAssKickingChristmas: [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=308 Check it out]].

* BrainBleach: [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=81 "Must... dump... Clorox... in... ears!"]]

-->'''Shawn''': That's worth a universe reboot right there, people.

* EveryoneIsSingle: And every time Lewis manages to avert this, it doesn't last very long... unless he actively lies about himself to the woman in question.
** Then again, given [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=60 this exchange]] between him and Nelson, it's surprising he gets that far to begin with.

* HilariousInHindsight: [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=11 A joke of a threat from Nelson]] has turned into this since the Sequel Trilogy got produced.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: Frank wanted to avoid spoilers for ''Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing'', [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=35 causing Lewis]] to [[FandomHeresy declare him a heretic]] for not reading the books.

* {{Munchkin}}: Nelson. The Crowning Moment of Munchkinry was when he managed to finagle his way into ruling a fair chunk of the world and even ''[[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=178 appointed his character a god]]'', complete with PrestigeClass and [[CharacterAlignment Alignment Violation Coupons]].

* NoNameGiven: The characters are only known by their first names. In fact, at first they didn't even know each other's names and referred to each other by their characters' names.
** Frank's last name is [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=136 confirmed]] to be Stortz.

* OnlySaneMan: The characters usually take turns in doing this... Except for Lewis.
** Frank does this most often. Nelson is at a close second.

* ShoutOut: Multiple to [[Webcomic/GirlGenius Phil and Kaja Foglio]], RealLife friends of Aaron Williams.

* {{Squick}}: [[InvokedTrope Discussed]] [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=1244 here]], with a side-helping of BileFascination.

* TakeThat: [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=1188 Towards modern-day politics]].
-->'''Shawn''': So I could "win" a conversation without knowing what I'm talking about?\\

* VitriolicBestBuds: Though Frank was talking about their characters in a game (specifically ''[[VideoGame/SimCity Sim D20 City]]''), he was pretty spot-on describing the group as "a case study for abusive symbiosis." Shawn prefers the term "[[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=1163 frenemies with benefits]]."
** It got to the point that Frank had spent an entire Con [[http://ffn.nodwick.com/?p=416 complaining about the trio ruining storylines]], and was invited to do so again next year complete with {{Filk}} band and a web adaptation starring Creator/WilWheaton.

* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The main characters went to a New Years Eve party at the "Goblin Hole" and look through their pockets to figure out what they did while under the influence of "Klingon War Nog". Frank finds a character sheet for the elf ranger from the ''[[Film/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]]'' movie, Lewis finds a receipt for the ''VideoGame/{{Everquest}}'' sourcebooks, and Nelson (who hates anime) found ''Anime/YuGiOh'' cards.
