Added Broad Strokes to the trope list.


* BroadStrokes: While the comic does follow the general plot of the anime fairly faithfully (AlternateCharacterInterpretation aside), there are some differences in how the events play out and in some of the motivations.
** The battle between the Baratie crew (including Luffy) vs the Don Krieg Pirates is presented as a Davy Back Fight between the two crews, with some rampant cheating from Don Krieg of course.
** During the Cocoyashi Village arc, Nami [[spoiler:actually does kill Usopp, but with the plan of having the Going Merry's spirit (played by Rika) use Raise Dead on him shortly afterwards, with the same intent to save him from the Arlong Pirates]]. In addition, [[spoiler:Commodore Pudding and his crew actually survive the events of the arc]].
** In the Logue Town arc, Captain Smoke and Tashigi (played by [[Webcomic/StevenAndTheCrystalGMs Phoebe and Bonnie]] respectively) try to recruit the main party as privateers (essentially government-approved pirates) before new orders are given later in the arc to arrest them.



** Liutenant Fullbody ends up this by accident. First he gets curbstomped by Baratie Waiter #3 aka Sanji due to some miraculous rolls and utterly humiliated. Then he shows up in a tricked-out ship and tries to catch them, only to fall to Cory's latest level-ups and some bad rolls. Then he suffers PTSD from seeing Sanji on their crew and jumps into the sea.

Added Suspicious Missed Messages to the trope list.

Added DiffLines:

* SuspiciousMissedMessages: After [[spoiler:Jayden]] does... ''something'' with Rika's phone, some of her messages to the other players are either different from what she sent (usually related to the start times of a session) or missing entirely. This hasn't been more than an inconvenience so far, nor has anyone appeared to connect it to [[spoiler:Jayden]], but it's nevertheless concerning.

Fixed a sub point for Alternative Character Interpretation


* Special mention has to be given to Don Krieg. While the core traits of his original character remain (a tyranical leader who kills his men if he thinks they're defying him, will lie and cheat the first chance he gets if he thinks it will help him, and relies mostly on his armor and weapons in combat), after being given a Creator/ChristopherWalken impression by the GM, he slowly becomes more and more of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}, to the point that eventually even his in-universe crew have difficulty figuring out what the hell he's going on about.

* TheMunchkin: Cory (Zoro) and Luke (Luffy). In the former's case, it got his initial character attempt briefly banned from the game. Given that the GM designed parts of the game with this in mind, this makes [[TheRolePlayer Natalie's]] life rather difficult.

Added another point under The Munchkin

Added DiffLines:

** It's later revealed that Cory, GM/Gordon and Luke earned the nickname "the Munchkin Trio" during their early gaming career, with each having their own specialty (as broken down [[https://grandline3point5.thecomicseries.com/comics/1234#content-start here]]); Cory is the most straightforward, building [[OneManArmy nigh-unstoppable killing machines]] through careful min-maxing, while Luke is great at creatively applying game mechanics and thinking quickly to make [[ConfusionFu crazy builds that are hard to plan around]], and Gordon is able to patiently [[AwesomenessByAnalysis analyze players and GMs and plan ahead to predict their actions and exploit their weaknesses]].

* BadassUnintentional: On page 458, the GM clearly did not intend for Sanji to be more than just a waiter NPC. But ''then'' when Fullbody gets the first attack and goes for Sanji, the GM rolls a 1. This one gives Sanji an immediate Attack of Opportunity, at which point the GM rolls ''three'' natural 20s in a row, giving him [[InstantWinCondition an auto-win]] and an [[http://grandline3point5.thecomicseries.com/comics/472 early stat page]] showing just how unintentional 'Baratie Waiter #3''s badassery was.
* BerserkButton: Luke doesn't mind people who's characters are blatantly evil dicks, or even who's characters deliberately come up against the party and potentially kill them before being recruited themselves. But start giving your character abilities or feats that can randomly hurt and kill the party after you've joined up, and [[PunctuatedForEmphasis He. Will. Beat. You. Down.]] [[spoiler: Very much a TruthInTelevision. Just look up forum topics about the Frenzied Berserker class.]]

* FakingTheDead: This was Captain Kuro's plan: [[spoiler:the ''real'' Captain Kuro had Jango hypnotize Kurahadol to believe he was the pirate so that he could be executed in his place. However, Kuro died before the job could be finished, and Kurahadol inadventantly gained his powers through his belief that he was really Captain Kuro.]]

Names The Same is now a disambig.


* NamesTheSame: The little girl who gives Zoro riceballs is named Rika. That also happens to be the name of Cory's cousin, who calls during the Orange Town arc.
** Another one looks to be in the eventual offing, since one of the guest stars from a different CampaignComic is named Robin.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: The players have been shown doing more than the main campaign:
** Luke and Cory played Rock Lee and Gaara in a ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' fighting game.
** Luke, Cory and Nat sat in on a session of ''Webcomic/FriendshipIsDragons'' and tried creating their own characters for that setting. A later crossover led to them trying to pick up a game back home, with Rika getting involved.
** And they played at least three sessions of a SpyDrama. Luke got his first character killed off quickly and played ''Series/{{Chuck}}''.
