** Arthur’s involved every character describing him as weak and the most likely cause of everyone’s death.
** Kat’s was a most basic depiction with Brittany only seen from the eyes up, the eleventh eye described as “the important thing” and movement cut entirely.
** Brittany's had every character talking in lengthy in character speeches, except for Will who is cut off after a few words.

* SeriousBusiness: The exiler is considered the ultimate punishment with an absolute fate. In reality, it is a simple nerf gun.

* KillEmAll: What the Steampunk [=LARPers=] are trying to achieve during the last episode of season 2: kill everyone in the party. [[spoiler: They succeed, but the Guardians of the Eleventh Eye still manage to destroy it.]]

* PuzzleBoss: One enemy fought inside the campaign is genuinely defeated by solving a rubix cube.

* ArtisticLicense: The LARP has one GM and the same group of 3-5 players in each game, which more closely resembles the group dynamics of a TabletopGame. A LARP of the kind shown typically has a crew of NPCs, allowing the players to meet more than one person at a time, and it's common to alternate between player and NPC between adventures. It isn't strictly speaking impossible for a LARP group to work this way, but it would be highly unusual.

** Although it's intended as a surprise, [[spoiler: the finale of Season 2 has a more plausable balance between players and NPCs, due to Mia's steampunk group joining as NPCs.]]

* BiTheWay: Corillia is off-handedly mentioned to have married an orc chieftain’s daughter and running off.

* BiTheWay: Corellia is off-handedly mentioned to have married an orc chieftain’s daughter and running off.
* BrattyHalfPint: Sam, Britney’s younger brother, has quite the attitude. He likes nagging Evan about joining the game and harassing Britney over the ambiguous status of her relationship with Will.

* FakeBrit: In universe. Kat normally speaks with the actress's real [[UsefulNotes/CanadianAccents Canadian]] accent but in game she goes into [[OopNorth Lancashire]]. Corellia/Britney also regularly affects an upper class British accent in order to play Corellia
** FakeAmerican: When acting as N.P.C.s for the Steampunk LARP, Britney starts using a thick Southern accent
* GroinAttack: In the prologue, when Corellia believes Noctus to be mindslaved, but doesn't want to kill him, Will's solution is to shoot him in the dick.

* HeroicSacrifice: In the Season 2 Finale, [[spoiler: most of the team does this with only Corellia missing out on an opportunity due to being saved (against her will) by a sneak attack.]]

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the finale, [[spoiler: Will suddenly gets in character for the first time ever, after Corellia dies.]]
* OppositesAttract: Britney is the member of the group the most into the roleplaying part of the campaign, while Will barely roleplays at all. They end up dating.

** Kat’s was a most basic depiction with Britney only seen from the eyes up, the eleventh eye described as “the important thing” and movement cut entirely.
** Britney’s had every character talking in lengthy in character speeches, except for Will who is cut off after a few words.

* TheRoleplayer: Obviously, they're all roleplayers, but Britney aka Corellia ''really'' gets into the roleplaying side of things. This causes her some distress in Season 2 when she and Will break up but their characters remain a couple (because Corellia is an elf and an elf's love is eternal).

* FakeBrit: In universe. Kat normally speaks with the actress's real [[CanadianAccents Canadian]] accent but in game she goes into [[OopNorth Lancashire]]. Corellia/Britney also regularly affects an upper class British accent in order to play Corellia

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Claudia plans to wipe-out the PCs of the main cast.

[=LARPs=]: The Series is a 2015 web series created by Beanduck Productions and sponsored by Geek and Sundry revolving around a group of [[{{LARP}} [=LARPers=]]] in their everyday lives.

!! [=LARPs=]: The Series contains examples of:

** FakeAmerican: When acting as NPCs for the Steampunk LARP, Britney starts using a thick Southern accent

** Will really likes this attack. He uses it to bring down Evan's NPC in Season 2 Episode 9.

** Season 2, Episode 9 only shows the episode title card at the very end, to hide a spoiler: [[spoiler: Claudia and her steampunk friends are guest NPCs and she is demanding that they help her wipe out Evan's player characters entirely.]]

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Claudia plans to wipe-out the PCs of the main cast. [[spoiler: The resulting epic, DyingMomentOfAwesome-laden session thoroughly satisfies the players, and helps bring closure to some of the personal dramas that were festering throughout the season.]]
** [[spoiler: The rest of the Steampunk group realize Claudia went too far, and give her the cold shoulder after the game ends. And Arthur, who started the whole thing by killing Claudia's PC after she mocked him for losing his own, gets to finally have his 'loser' character not only killed, but killed in a heroic manner worthy of Noctus. And if that wasn't enough, he also gets to play his beloved Noctus again in the new cyberpunk setting. It also means that Noctus actually ''did'' outlive her character, which was a major part of her gloating.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In the finale, [[spoiler: Will suddenly goes in character after Corellia dies.]]

** Shane’s could be described as the most accurate view of the events.

* TheReveal: Throughout the first season, it's clear that something's up with Shane and that she has ulterior motives for participating in the LARP. The second season reveals that [[spoiler: she's a journalist writing a column about the LARP group]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Claudia goes on one of these to get back at Arthur [[spoiler: personally killing three of the party. However, this made the session epic.]]
