* ''TabletopGame/{{Battleship}}'': The world's navies are essentially flailing around, shooting blind, and too dumb to get out of the way.
* ''TabletopGame/{{BattleTech}}'': You remember that old saying about how those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it? Well, good news -- turns out that people ''never'' learn from history and we won't ever have to face the embarrassment of widespread peace!
* ''TabletopGame/CallOfCthulhu'': Don't talk to ''anyone'', don't read ''anything'' don't even think about exploring further down that street, or you will start screaming and never stop!
** It's okay to see nonwhite people as abominations, odds are that you're right anyways!
** Truth causes insanity.
** Learning will only result in death.
* ''TabletopGame/CardsAgainstHumanity'': Humans are hornybuggers with no sense of decency.



* ''TabletopGame/{{FATAL}}'':
** Women are dumber than men and as such exist solely to provide victims for the nonstop rape (which, incidentally, will have no negative consequences for the perpetrator and only a few minor problems for the victim), and the entire basis of every civilisation ever has been the trade in sex slaves, even in societies where slavery, by and large, didn't actually exist.
** '''BZZZ''' I'm sorry, contestant, this is Warp That Aesop. There is absolutely no indication that ''FATAL'' does not embrace this Aesop with all its heart.
** [[BlackComedyRape Rape is funny]]... no, that's intended. Stay away from magic, because you might attract [[MemeticMutation RANDY GAY OGRES]]! Nobody who takes up the professions that keep society running leads a life worth living and would be better off dead. Existence is pointless and the universe is utterly amoral, so the best thing to do is to loot and plunder. Everything is determined by random luck, any effort at improving your life could well make it worse, and [[YouCantFightFate trying to go against destiny is punishable by RL PK by desert eagle.]]
** The best thing that can happen in life is for someone to accidentally kill everyone in the world, including you. This goes double if you're female.
** It's possible for things to have negative circumference.



* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'':
** If someone is different than you, you should PURGE THEM WITH THE HOLY PROMETHIUM IN THE NAME OF THE GOD EMPEROR!
** If you work hard enough, fought for your life, and make many sacrifices to ensure the survival of your planet, you will be considered a heretic/traitor/a danger...etc by the inquisition or the higher ups. Your reward, you get executed for all your contributions for the Imperium. Congratulations.
* ''TabletopGame/SeventhSea'': Most pirates were noble, free-thinking heroes, some women need to be locked up for the greater safety, and the Spanish Inquisition was protecting us from evil, extra-dimensional monsters.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'':
** You have not been cleared for this information, citizen. Please report for termination. [[DissonantSerenity Have a pleasant daycycle. The Computer is your friend.]]
** Your entire life consists of following crazy ideologues long enough to be killed for no apparent reason.
* ''Sorry'': It's okay to be a total bastard if the rules make you do it. And when you're being a total bastard, [[EasilyForgiven you're guaranteed to be forgiven if you apologize]], [[BlatantLies no matter how utterly insincere that apology is]]

* TabletopGame/{{Stratego}}: You're only allowed to kill people if you outrank them.
* TabletopGame/{{Traveller}} : It is the destiny of the human race to conquer large portions of the galaxy. Three times. In achieving this humanity will gain tremendous wealth, exploit thousands of planets and submit itself to an intersteller oligarchy. Such goals are laudable and enhance the glory of TheEmperor.

** ''Book Of Exalted Deeds'':Evil is the only way to go because the philosophy of Good is not even internally consistent. Torture is okay as long as you do it with magic and the only reason you do it is to brainwash people. Stabbing people is okay as long as they happen to be evil, and so is forgiving them, but poisoning them with something more merciful than a dagger blade is AN ACT OF ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVABLE EVIL! That is only true, though, unless you are using a magical poison that only affects the evil!

** Running around too fast qualifies as "speeding" and may get you arrested, even if said speeding was caused purely by luck and was therefore in no way your fault.
** Trains, thimbles, hats and other assorted inanimate objects can legally purchase property and charge rent.
** The cost of building a house depends on the price of the land it is built on, even if you already own that land.
** Bribery/dumb luck can easily get you out of prison.
** Every time you stand in a certain part of London you get £200 free.
** It's a great idea to build a prison right in the middle of a busy road, so people, vehicles, etc. have to go through the prison to get to the other side.
