History Podcast / DungeonsAndRandomness

** Fie allows the rest of Group 3 to unknowingly blow up a room filled with children, out of hatred for all elves and elven sub-types.

* [[spoiler: {{Brought Down To Normal}}: After her resurrection, Briahna seems to have lost her psionic powers.]]

** There's a notable (unintended) subversion, where one of the PCs reacts poorly to the idea that the gladiator orcs the party is fighting are captured slaves, forced to fight for their freedom. [[spoiler: This ends up driving most of Group 1 and 3's plots for much of the series.]]

* MoralityKitchenSink: With kleptomaniac and childish minotaurs, racist and conquering dwarves, lawful good warpriests who [[spoiler: turn traitor against the party to fuel their ego]], and clerics who [[spoiler: steal scrolls of resurrection to revive an NPC that they have feelings for]], most of the PCs, if not Theria, fulfills this trope.

* WhatTheHellHero?: Everyone and their dog pulls this on Malchus, not that he ever accepts that the tragedies of the last decade or so were his fault.

* AndIMustScream: Overwatch's Warforged [[spoiler: are powered by the souls of rounded up non-humans and criminals within Overwatch.]] At least the first generation Warforged had free will...

* BattleCouple: Vallus and Baranith [[spoiler: until she rejects him]] and then Vallus and [[spoiler: Jadzia]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: A few, but the most notable are "Almost a crit" and "[[PunctuatedforEmphasis GREEN. FLAME. BLADE!]]"
* TheCasanova: Somewhat subverted, in that Thoril tries to be this, to [[PottyFailure mixed results]].

* TheEasyWayOrTheHardWay: Malchus invokes this, killing the local Mayor through an anger-induced heart attack.

* FantasticRacism: King Carter had this before meeting Group 1, and it only got worse after.
* HeroesPreferSwords: Although the level of how much of a hero some of the characters are can be debated.

* HeroicSacrifice: Gavin's bombing of the Warforged Titan.
* LoveTriangle: Not really explored as of yet, but Thoril is in one with Talia and Ian Serverus.
* MacGuffin: The Golden Dragons were this for Group 2 for a while.

** Alternates between being played straight and averted. Vallus and Baranith are strong examples of this trope (ranged healer and her bodyguard), but Una and Fie buck the trend (Fie's mother even tries to get Una to give her son weight training lessons).
** Duncan is another aversion for the men (as a spoony bard, his physical abilities are comparably low) while Yenward is a massive mountain of a minotaur.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Again, alternates between being played straight or averted. The majority of cannon fodder is male, however, several of the mentioned White Ravens have been female, and a few of Blacktooth's gang were notably female (played mostly for laughs).

* MillionToOneChance: One power of the Rod of Wonder is the ability to completely resurrect one person who has ever lived on Theria. The one time this power goes off, [[spoiler: it revives Duncan, the first main PC to die.]]

* Mooks: Being D&D, the majority of the nameless enemies qualify for this, but there's a notable (unintended) subversion, where one of the PCs reacts poorly to the idea that the gladiator orcs the party has to fight are captured slaves forced to fight for their freedom. [[spoiler: This ends up driving most of Group 1 and 3's plots for much of the series.]]
* MoralityChain: Briahna is this to Malchus. [[spoiler: or at least she used to be. She also became one for Una before the paladin's heel-face turn.]]
* MoralityKitchenSink: With kleptomaniac and childish minotaurs, racist and conquering dwarves, lawful good warpriests who [[spoiler: turn traitor against the party to fuel their ego]], and clerics who [[spoiler: steal scrolls of resurrection to revive an NPC that they have feelings for]], most of Theria fulfills this trope.
* MuggingTheMonster: Played straight, [[spoiler: by children.]]

* Non-CombatEXP: Jason is said to give this out to his players.

* StormingTheCastle: Group 2 pulls this on [[spoiler: House Darksbane]]. And uses it as a base of operations before abandoning it.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: All three groups have moments of this, but none are quite as bad as [[spoiler:Duncan's death in episode 6]]

* TheManBehindTheMan: David is this for House Darksbane [[spoiler: and later House Dragonkeep]], and possibly the other stewards for the respective houses.

* MoralityChain: Briahna is this to Malchus. [[spoiler: or at least she used to be]]
* NoodleIncident: Arguably, Jarahk's statement that [[spoiler: he ate his children]] qualifies.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Groups 1 and 2 both fit this.

** Fie allows the rest of Group 3 to unknowingly blow up a room filled with children, out of hatred for all elves.

* AerithAndBob: Archmage Thermack and Doug the Beholder.

* BackFromTheDead: Several PCs and and one NPC have been brought back to life, only two of them by an actual Cleric.

* The Casanova: Somewhat subverted, in that Thoril tries to be this, to [[PottyFailure mixed results]].

* WouldHurtAChild: Drakonis threw down a wall of fire after Group 1 was pickpocketed by a band of kids, and probably wouldn't have stopped there if he was by himself.

* MoralityChain: Briahna is this to Malchus.

* WouldHurtAChild: Drakonis threw down a wall of fire after Group 1 was pickpocketed by a band of kids, and probably wouldn't have stopped there if he was by himself.

* TalkingToHimself: Jason, the DM, does this as needed.

* BoringButPractical: Thoril's basic melee attack and the follow up off-hand these two simple and seemingly boring attacks allow him to nearly keep up with Yenward in the damage department.

Dungeons and Randomness is a [[Main/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] podcast that started in late October 2012 as extra content for the TWR network. Jason Massey is the DM/GM and him and his three groups get together(when schedules allow) for a weekly episode in the fantasy world of Theria and do everything from save the day to razing most of a towns. It can be found [[https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dungeons-randomness-d-d-podcast/id574192620?mt=2 here]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[Main/BlatantLies Thoril isn't the prime example for this in the slightest.]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: Fie, Una, and Jadzia all leave [[Main/TheEmpire the Overwatch]] to join [[Main/LaResistance the White Ravens.]]

* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: Rodswell pulls one by jumping from Group 1 to Group 3]]

* HeroicSacrifice: {{Main/YMMV}} on whether or not he's a hero, but Gavin's bombing of the Warforged Titan can be seen as this.
