History Radio / PartiesAndParodies

* [[SovietSuperscience Soviet Supermagic]]: Kobolds have a teleportation network, spells that can create an entire city in a day, and of course research ANY magical items that come into their possession.

* DeadlyUpgrade: Since the heroes did not get enough power to beat the BigBad simply by [[spoiler: becoming epic demigods, they had to consolidate their power in Kribnefka]].
* DealWithTheDevil: The Order sign their souls over to Asmodeus, Lord of the Nine Hells, in exchange for them going back in time to before [[spoiler: they released Tharizdûn]]. Unfortunately, they players didn't ReadTheFinePrint, so he only sent them back one round.

* SillinessSwitch: Why cast spells when you have a Greater Rod of Wonder? Dressmar and Matt, both primary casters, [[ChaoticStupid prefer random effects]] to any semblance of law.

* BeyondTheImpossible: The players

* RunningGag: Hatred of Gnomes. Dartak and Sid dying.

* ShapeShifterShowdown: When threatened by the shapeshifting party, Kribnefka turns into a gold dragon...[[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter so does one of them]].

* KryptoniteFactor: In an episode that only featured spellcasting heroes, the enemies simply surrounded themselves in an [[AntiMagic anti-magic]] field, rendering them helpless.

* BackFromTheDead: This is DungeonsAndDragons, dead characters seldom remain so.
* BagOfHolding: More like "bag of hoarding" for Sibas, who keeps EVERYTHING he sees, down to moldy rugs and silverware.
* TheBerserker: Kakua, the barbarian, is essentially the Hulk due to her SuperStrength and UnstoppableRage.
* BeyondTheImpossible: The players
* BigBad: The Elder Elemental Eye [[spoiler: who is actually Tharizdûn (if you see the Elder Elemental Eye from here on out, you can substitute it with Tharizdûn)]].
* ChaoticStupid: Dressmar, the original owner of the greater rod of wonder, an item that could destroy enemies, but he's just as happy when it gives him a paint job, shrinks him, and creates leaves out of his body.
* CheerfulChild: Rebecca (aka Casae) is this...until she gets a vision.

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Matt Tenant and his skeleton fetish, but he uses them to create [[ScienceFantasy computers and helicopters]].
* ComedicSociopath: When presented with any obstacle at all, Sibas Sin almost has to make a Will save not to [[KillItWithFire Kill it with Fire]]. For example, during the filler pilot, he nuked a gang of more than a half-dozen commoners.
** Also, Asifa Skullhunter kicked Sid into a poisonous-spiked trap, of course killing him. He then was reincarnated as a [[spoiler: Phanaton]].

** During the showdown with TheWormThatWalks in Tolstaff keep, the party is saved by very high-level [[TheArchmage Uthreth]] [[CoolOldGuy Aisafflam]] [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleporting]] in and saving the day while yelling [[LampshadeHanging Deus Ex Machina!]] at the top of his lungs.

* ElementalPowers: Worsiphers of the Elder Elemental Eye are divided up into elemental sects, except [[spoiler: those that know the real identity of EEE as Tharizdûn, which this story only reveals as being Lareth the Beautiful]].

* GoMadFromTheRevelation: Rebecca whenever she sees the future with her augury ability, since she has a tendency to always see the worst possibility that could happen during the time.
** Merthuvial is too crazy to speak to his comrades much after he is [[spoiler: forced to read {{Fanfic/Cupcakes}} in Tharizdûn's prison]]
** All the major gods of Greyhawk are driven insane by simply being in the presence of the Elder Elemental Eye.

* MacrossMissileMassacre: The primary attack of [[spoiler: Tharizdûn]], who spams [[SphereOfDestruction spheres of annihilation]].
* MadGod: [[spoiler: Tharizdûn an OmnicidalManiac CosmicHorror and god of psychopathic nihilists, wants to eliminate all existence, finishing with himself.]]
* MadOracle: Rebecca, whenever she peers into the future, gasps and changes her voice from adorable to creepy.

* OracularUrchin: Rebecca is almost exactly this trope

* PowerBornOfMadness: [[spoiler: Tharizdûn, god of madness and entropy]]
* PunnyName: Matt Tenant is a "walking, talking, Dr. Who reference."
* PyroManiac: In Tolstoff Keep, Dressmar spends about half an episode burning everything in every chamber that is without a name.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Who can or cannot be on the show has a lot of effect on what happens that episode.

* RunningGag: Hatred of Gnomes.

* ShapeShifterShowdown: When threatened by the shapeshifting party, Kribnefka turns into a gold dragon...[[AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter so does one of them]].
* SuperpowerLottery: [[spoiler: Tharizdûn, a Divine Rank 20 deity with optimized class levels, can make all the extraplanar gods insane and can spam a [[SphereOfDestruction spheres of annihilation]] ]]
* TalkativeLoon: Rebecca, when hit by an insanity spell, started spouting random words and phrases.
* WaifProphet: Celn, the Oracle of Unstoppable Magic, is seen wearing a blindfold (after he issues a CallToAdventure to the Order, he leaves when it appears that blood is running from his eyes)
** Rebecca also qualifies, as she is a child who [[spoiler: actually]] sees into the future.
* WillingChanneler: Matt Tenant is the only one to accept the nightmare form's promise of power, then promptly gets branded for it.

* OurElvesOurBetter: Grey Elves, the race Yaseilex, Merthuvial, Rebecca, and Uthreth are members of, are even prouder and more arrogant than regular ones.

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Matt Tenant and his skeleton fetish, but he uses them to create [[ScienceFictionVersusFantasy computers and helicopters]].

* Cloudcuckoolander: Miserthal, the [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals omnipresent]] magic shop owner, is exactly this.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Miserthal, [[Cloudcuckoolander the cloudcuckoolander]] magic shop owner.

* TheCloudcuckoolander: Miserthal, the [[InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals omnipresent]] magic shop owner, is exactly this.

* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Miserthal, [[TheCloudcuckoolander the cloudcuckoolander]] magic shop owner.

* EarthShatteringKaboom: Singularity of Cheese, caused by noting that the True Creation spell has a volume requirement, but no
mass requirement. [[spoiler: used to destroy Atropus, the undead afterbirth of creation]]

* ComedicSociopath: When presented with any obstacle at all, Sibas Sin almost has to make a Will save not to [[KillItWithFire]]. For example, during the filler pilot, he nuked a gang of more than a half-dozen commoners.

Parties & Parodies is the ever-going tale of the Order of the Half-Priced Heroes, a radio drama that follows the adventuring party on an epic quest as they strive to force back the shadow creeping across the land. Hosted and DM'd on WUOG 90.5FM by their very own DJ Ninjay (with a rotation of victims -- I mean other players), the show features 2-3 hours of comedy and heroism as the players try to foil the Dungeon Master's plans (after all, he IS the one controlling all the villains).

* HellIsThatNoise: Rebecca's theme

* BagOfHolding: More like bag of [[Hoarders hoarding]] for Sibas, who keeps EVERYTHING he sees, down to moldy rugs and silverware.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: The Order attacks with, and is attacked by, tentacles on a fairly regular basis, always leading to hentai references.

* KryptoniteFactor: In an episode that only featured spellcasting heroes, the enemies simply surrounded themselves in an [[AntiMagic]] field, rendering them helpless.

* ShapeShifterShowdown: When threatened by the shapeshifting party, Kribnefka turns into a gold dragon...[[Anything+YouCanDoICanDoBetter so does one of them]].
