----

Tropes applying to the publisher include:
----

* ActionGirl: Jezzet Vel'urn, Amelia, and the Red Reaper are all excellent examples thereof.
* {{Antihero}}: The majority of Ragnarok Publication heroes tend to be on the Neutral or Evil-ish side of the hero scale.
** Ethan Banning is a P.I. possessed by a demon and wasn't that great a person beforehand.
* {{Antihero}}: Almost every Ragnarok Publication protagonist is one sort of these or another.
* BadassAbnormal: Ethan Banning, John Golden, Thanquil Darkheart, and Aella all have supernatural powers.
* BadassNormal: Matt Hollis just has a magic gun but makes it work. So does Jezzet Vel'run.
* DarkerAndEdgier: They're on a one-company mission to bring the entire fantasy genre into this territory.
* DarkFantasy: What they were created to help publish. They noticed there was a dearth of good fantasy for adults by people not named George R.R. Martin.
* DarkIsNotEvil: In their ''lighter'' stories, this is the case.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Darker and Edgier is more or less their namesake with stories with serial killer protagonists, shadowy conspiracies, and brutal antiheroes. Ironically, they do some LighterAndSofter stories too.
* DeadpanSnarker: Ethan Banning is a crowning example of such.
* HeroicFantasy: A recent edition has had them add a branch for more traditional LighterAndSofter stories. These are still written for adults, however.
** ''Gnome Saga'' follows a pair of gnomish siblings out to stop an inter-dimensional dictator.
* NecessarilyEvil: Sometimes it takes a bad man to do a good days work.
** Inquisitor Darkheart from ''The Ties That Bind'' series is an awful person but it's all for a good cause.
* SociopathicHero: A common Ragnarok Publications hero is one of these.
** Betrim the Blackthorn is one of these, killing and raiding because he's a SwordAndSorcery bandit.
* SwordAndSorcery: Their favorite brand of fantasy. Tim Marquitz and J.M. Martin like to taste the grit.
** ''Sword Sisters'' is a prequel to the Uwe Boll film, ''Legend of the Red Reaper''.
** ''The Ties That Bind'' series is set in a Conan-esque world where life and virtue are cheaply bought.
* UrbanFantasy: Both owners are admitted fans of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' and have even interviewed Jim Butcher. They have since added a division devoted exclusively to it.
** The ''Valducan'' series is about holy weapon wielding warriors who hunt demons.
** The ''John Golden'' series is about a IT guy/mercenary who hunts fairies living in the internet.
** ''Ethan Banning'' is about a man possessed by a demon.
* VillainProtagonist: Many of their books star these.
** Terry Miller is a hilariously incompetent serial killer.

Consistent themes throughout their publications include diverse, archetype-defying characters, immersive, intriguing plots, and professional-caliber writing. They write for a notably older audience than most fantasy publications, going more for the George R.R. Martin crowd than competitors like Tor.
