1''Special People'' is a ''Roleplay/RollToDodge'' game on the [=Bay12=] forums. It is about super powered individuals taken from their home dimensions by godlike beings called Entities and made to compete in challenges. Completing a challenge or objective will give them increased power. The challenges always have a very high death rate, but people who die will always be revived in time for the next one.

5!!The game provides examples of
6* BlingOfWar: PRAGMATUS IGNALES, COMMANDER OF THE TORCH OF OMENS has a very fancy suit of armour, with a bird shaped helmet and two shields that look like wings.
7* BossFight: One of the game modes.
8** Mission two was a fight against a giant robot from outer space called a BETA.
9* CombinationAttack: When Nikolai buffed Zechariah's GemstoneAssault to be much more powerful, then Zech launched it into a group of enemies.
10* CutscenePowerToTheMax: Used in the intro to the final tournament round.
11* GameShowHost: The entities act like this.
12* GargleBlaster: The physically impossible 1/+0 % ABV drank by mydjet.
13* HumongousMecha: The BETA.
14* ImprovisedWeapon: Very common, including a crossbow made of office supplies and robot parts, and an EpicFlail made from a skull with AntiMagic rocks in the eye sockets, as well as the usual nailboards and rubble.
15* LiteralGenie: The Staging Area. George wished for a full head of hair. A literal disembodied head made out of hair appeared in front of him.
16* MakeAWish: The Staging Area can be modified in nearly any way by the players. Players have wished for towns, waterfalls, and other things to appear there.
17* MiniBoss: Most missions have a few enemies with special abilities of their own.
18* PlayerVersusPlayer: Mission Amethyst split up the players into two teams. Both teams had to find Target Amethyst, but one team was tasked with killing the target and the other team with protecting the target.
19* PowerCrystal: Seems to be the go-to MacGuffin.
20* RammingAlwaysWorks: Nikolai crashed a self propelled hover ballista into the BETA's leg, crippling it.
21* SovietSuperscience: The first mission took place in a soviet research lab filled with experiments and sci-fi technology.
