* NoFairCheating: Variation: At the start of Part 2, Kara stubbornly tries to retcon an advantage for the Wet Bandits, either by trying to argue for them to show up earlier (this negating the trap setup Kevin had done), or trying to claim to have items while also refusing to let Jon know[[note]]specifically, firecrackers[[/note]] on the grounds of using "Gizmo" to have them appear. For the former, Jon ultimately rules that he can issue out [[RocksFallEveryoneDies two random bad events]] that can occur while the Wet Bandits take on Kevin[[note]]with the first one being that Harry had a bad case of the shits, meaning they had to wait until the night to return to the house[[/note]]. For the latter, Jon forces the formation out of Kara [[ArmedWithCanon by threatening to non-declare said items if she tried using them later.]]

Again, friendly reminder, rather than outright removing an example on the grounds of "doesn't fit this trope", maybe consider moving it to a different trope that does fit.

* ThisIsReality: [[invoked]] Discussed: After mentioning how they ''try'' to stick to the tone of the original movies they reroll, Paulo openly admits it would've been funny to do a ''Home Alone'' reroll with normal damage rolls, so that Kevin's first trap ''immediately'' kills the Wet Bandits, [[KarmaHoudiniWarranty and the rest of the campaign sees Kevin going through the criminal justice system]].

** After Harry drops a PrecisionFStrike, he outright lampshades that the movie has turned "hard R".



* SlidingScaleOfFreeWillVsFate: Discussed: At one point early in Part 2, Kara (as Harry) bitches that Jon is openly screwing over the Wet Bandits:
-->'''Harry''': That means everything's still going as planned!
-->'''Marv''': The plan was to show up when no one was home-!
-->'''Harry''': (cuts Marv off) Marv, ''shut your mouth''! [[NoInnerFourthWall That plan was before the GM told us we couldn't have free will!]] So now, we're gonna deal with the hand we've been dealt!

Early in the home invasion, Harry tells Marv that they need to be careful, as they're dealing with a psychopath. Marv doubts things could get much worse given how he'd ''already'' gotten set on fire. As it has been made clear several times over on this page, getting burned would be the ''least'' of Marv's injuries.

* DoubleBlindWhatIf: When discussing how violent the movie originally was, Paulo concludes that ''Home Alone'' feels like it was ''already'' a reroll in and of itself; namely, that it was originally an innocuous family film, but once Joz started playing Kevin, it turned into the movie we all know.



* FiveSecondForeshadowing: When Marv triggers a trap while trying to go down the stairs after the fog-covered hallway, Jon makes a roll, and the end result [[OhCrap horrifies him and Joz]]. Paulo assumes this was a Crit Fail, only for Jon to clarify that he was rolling a randomized hit location, and that he had gotten the neck... This quickly becomes relevant when he soon informs Paulo that Marv ''got shot with a crossbow bolt''.

** Similarly, ''after'' the bandits get down the stairs and go into another room, and Marv triggers another trap, Jon matter-of-factly says he ''doesn't'' need to roll for a hit location on this one[[note]]as Paulo "[stepped] in it" due to a failed Perception roll[[/note]], but rather needs ''Paulo'' to roll [[AmbiguousSyntax if it goes left or right]][[note]]1 to 3 is left, 4 to 6 is right[[/note]]. As such, Paulo's roll tells Jon that it's the ''right'' leg that steps on the BearTrap.

* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Harry's original intent was to rob the [=McCallister's=] home without much incident. It is only through the barrage of Kevin's traps (and Kara's own mounting anger over Jon repeatedly screwing the Wet Bandits over) that he eventually decides that ''no one'' is getting out of this alive, and openly tries to kill Kevin. He even goes so far as to ''stab a cop'' to try and complete this goal.
