''Tropers: The Series'' is a roleplay on the Administrivia/TVTropesForum. The basic premise involves tropers living in a parody of TV {{sitcom}}s, if that wasn't made obvious by the intro post. It started out like ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', but got [[WidgetSeries more wigged out as time went on,]] turning into a GenreRoulette and {{Fantasy|KitchenSink}}/SciFiKitchenSink. As it follows an episodic structure with a new "episode" ([=GMed=] by a different person each time) every few pages or so, the tone and genre can vary wildly.

* WorthlessYellowRocks: Season 8 Episode 11, "2021: A Space Robbery", explores this trope at hand with [[JustifiedTrope a planet that embodies it]]: in Shiny-5, gold is as common there as dirt would be on Earth, ''wood'' is considered to be more valuable, and the backstory of the then-current leader, Rufus T. Owlcity, incorporates being surrounded by gold as imagery of his former ''poverty''. Tellingly, what seems like a subversion with the odd gold pile in his vault [[DoubleSubverted turns out to be Tamatoa's shell]], with him still inside.
