* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Lady Madonna Vampira, in ''Fourth Tower of Inverness'', is an energy vampire. She starts a love affair with a victim, then breaks it off in the middle, going off with all the guy's psychic energy, leaving him an EmptyShell, at least for a while, and making her something of a [[HornyDevils succubus]]. She is, however, one of the good guys (more or less) and can't help herself.

* InteractiveNarrator: Mostly not, but occasionally characters will do things like correct his pronunciation, and, at the end of ''Fourth Tower of Inverness,'' the narrator gives Jack a ride in the jeep back to town (and out of the story).


Added DiffLines:

* NarratingTheObvious: As per standard with radio dramas. Since Jack has a distinct (and sometimes interactive) narrator, the characters don't have to describe their own circumstances quite as much as they otherwise would, though they still do more than they would in another medium.
