* CurbStompBattle: A few turn up, especially when the party is able to gang up on a single target. As a general rule, the party will inevitably complain about the difficulty of a fight and then utterly destroy it a few rounds later through a bizarre combination of luck and strategy.

Miriam's reaction is to beat her down. ''Hard.'' And then shifting her into a hell portal. Which really kills the thief three different ways because of the rules of the dance battle causing instant death should someone step off the floor. It's lampshaded by Joey and Syrg.

As a result, he ends up having to run away, only to find that the enemy moves faster than him and can use, as Syrg puts it, the "ruin a guy" attack.

The well known tabletop RPG Dungeons And Dragons was an unlikely candiate for the Something Awful Let's Play Forum, until a team of plucky adventurers arrived to take on a world full of not only Dungeons And Dragons, but also insane time travellers, dance offs, and each other.
The team consisted of:
* Joey Hoofz (Wolfshirt) - The Warlord and leader of the group. Unable to intimidate a room.
* Kensington R. Killjoy Esq. (PlasmaMan) - Warlock. A sarcastic, demonic lawyer.
* Algernon de la Flor (Drakkel) - A Dragonborn bounty hunter and the straight man of the group, getting roped into crazy situations.
* Miriam Webster ({{Medibot}}) - A tiny librarian who is obessed with getting everyone to read.
* Asalyn (Lava Lamp Goddess) - An angry paladin.
* Minerelle Orr (PoorWeather) - A psion who enjoys mind-control a little too much.
* Bananaramawicz (General Ironicus) - A cleric trying to be friends with everyone.
* Gibnaf Boneson (General Ironicus) - A gnome bard that wants to be a hero.
* Sergeant Kodrinschreiner (PlasmaMan) - A paladin War-forged.
And of course the DM Syrg who rolls with the punches, and dishes them out as well.

* BerserkButton: For Miriam it's the destruction of books; for Joey it's denying him gold; for Minerelle it's apparently dancing.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Miriam is easily one of the nicest party members in general, but she seems to get the most badass moments in fights -- and no, seriously, do NOT harm books around her.
* CombatPragmatist: Miriam, who has no problems shifting book thieves into hell portals or dropping a 10-ton weight onto succubi.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Minerelle ties of dancing shenanigans and thus tries to bring down the club the party is in. When that fails she simply explodes trying to take everyone in the club down at once.

* {{Greed}}: Joey, whose survival instincts flip off when treasure is involved. For example, he once got too close and personal with a dragon because it was a gold dragon, and tried to steal from a different dragon's horde when the dragon was ''right there''.
* HughMann: Minerelle is a Shardmind (a being of living crystal) passing herself off as a human through illusions, but she often seems a bit unclear about how biological creatures work and disdainful of what she does know. It's something of a running joke how readily the other characters accept her ridiculous behavior, although it helps that most other party members aren't humans anyway.
* IAmNotWeasel: Miriam gets mistaken for a gnome both in and out of universe, but she's just a short human.
* LightEmUp: Miriam and more prominently Kodrinschreiner
* MinMaxing: Averted for some of the party. For example, Miriam took four levels of linguistics.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Joey the Minotaur eventually becomes part insect.
* PlayingWithFire: Joey gets a steam axe that does fire damage.
* PutOnABus: Happens fairly often, given that it's a long-running campaign, not everyone can make it to every session, and sometimes players just want to try a different character. The ones who didn't come back are [[spoiler: Asalyn, Bananaramawicz, and Kensington.]]
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: A high-level adventurer the party meets. Also mocked.

* ShockAndAwe: Miriam
* SureWhyNot: Common in Syrg's DMing style. The party has, for instance, named Skullfucker Johnson the demon and the city of Bonerton, the latter of which became a running joke until they finally managed to visit it.
* ThrowTheBookAtThem: Miriam has a spiked book as a custom weapon.
* TooDumbToLive: Joey raises this to an art form. Usually by demanding treasure from everyone and everything the party meets, but there have been amazing moments like him deciding to just stand there while bug-dragons swoop down on him and then plunging his arm into mutagenic goo in their hive. Also possibly ''Syrg'', who actually got himself hospitalized in the middle of a session by drinking expired energy drink concentrate.
* WalkingDisasterArea: The party has noted, with some despair, that places they're in have an uncanny tendency to unmake themselves. This has included a mansion, a magical tower-mountain (twice!), a dream dimension, and some islands.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Minerelle has trouble understanding why brainwashing isn't an acceptable solution to every problem.
