* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The fourth ''Live'' was about about a [[HeroesWantRedheads sexy redhead]] and a clan of blood half-elementals fighting over a powerful magical artifact. But because it was supposed to be a "one-shot" arc - and possibly due to Mahyar losing most of his files in a computer crash before the session - the ending was rushed and the group [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere left the conflict before its conclusion]], though now in possession of a water elemental. We didn't even got the opportunity to see any BloodMagic in action!

Added DiffLines:

* IKnewIt: Many fans expected Théo to eventually come BackFromTheDead, but the most popular theory was that he ''somehow'' survived [[AcquiredPoisonImmunity thanks to the spider venom in his blood]] (so it is partially disproved). Similarly, many people knew that Fred would not be able to keep Viktor a StraightMan all the way and that he would eventually have a SanitySlippage.

* AcceptableEthnicTargets:
** The [[KidAppealCharacter Ewoks]]. Only the more hardcore and invested fans will find it shocking.
** [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Dwarves]] are too in ''Aventures'' out of ''and'' in-universe and are the subject of a lot of jokes (including "dwarf-tossing" and everything size-related). Grunlek doesn't like them, but is too much of a NiceGuy to really replicate.
** In ''Les Survivants'', latinos and arabs are fair game for the players and the occasion for caricatural accents and behaviours. Then again, so is the redneck character.
* AcceptableReligiousTargets: Any Church for three of the heroes: B.O.B. because they would see him as an heresy, Shin because he's been harrassed by the Church of Water, Grunlek because he doesn't like their control over the population. They ended up torching a church ablaze and nuking a region where the various Churches were meeting. Even their role in the fate of Arcana, a character who actively helped them at every turn, doesn't bother them. The one Church they didn't attack is not linked to any Elemental/deity (but still requires the lifeforce of its followers).

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: In the 4th episode of the second season, when Shin accidentally shoots Viktor in the back, Fred asks if he can use his advantage to reduce the damage but Mahyar counters that he didn't expect the danger to come from their ranks.
--> '''Seb:''' That's the twist of season 2.

Krayn even said [[EvilIsCool Enoch was cool]] and that he wouldn't mind be turned evil by him. His PapaWolf moment in the second live only increased his popularity.

*** Nathan Strachan. After the beginning of the ZombieApocalypse, he lost his wife during the raid of a group of plunderers. He survived alone with his son during several months, only to lose his kid during the winter (probably because of a sickness). Then, he's captured by [[HumansAreBastards the Future]] and becomes their slave. To make things worst, he gets a HopeSpot when he's rescued by the heroes, [[spoiler:only to die two episodes later when [[DroppedABridgeOnHim a group of zombies falls on him from a terrace]].]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** Janet Dixon from ''Les Survivants'' is a ruthless pragmatic [[NominalHero Nominal Heroine]] who often uses a knife to defend herself from zombies and crazy survivors. Some comments and even the players themselves tend to [[UpToEleven amplify that trait]], presenting her as a PsychoKnifeNut who loves to knife everything that passes within her range. In reality, while she does have problems, she's also one of the most reliable members of the group and is sometimes a surprisingly ReasonableAuthorityFigure. If anything, she's far more ruthless, pragmatic and selfish than that.

** Arcana is an awesome LawfulGood AmazonianBeauty, but barely got any dialogue nor screentime. She is mostly seen in the background doing [[HeroOfAnotherStory apparently important and cool stuff]]. To be fair, due to the group's [[WhatTheHellHero awful first impression]] it's kind of hard to have her interact with the main plot and the characters in a respectful manner.

You can't avert a YMMV. The Take That Scrappy description explain itself why it's not Take That Scrappy.

** Completely Averted with the BigBad of the fourth season [[spoiler:Melancholia who manages to not only hold back the aventurers (the fact most of them were badly wounded and/or out of psy certainly helped) but actually [[HeroKiller killed Shin]]]].



** Eventually {{averted|Trope}} when [[spoiler:Théo ''did'' came back, and completely forgotten when Viktor [[HeroicBSOD snapped]] in season two's finale, culminating in his blasphemous FamousLastWords]].



* TakeThatScrappy: Telling him to shut up when he began talking before his turn, having his character meet his embarrassing demonic father, joking that his accidental loss of connection is his punishment… It seems that the GM too is sometimes unnerved by Bob too.
** Averted according to [[WordOfGod Mahyar]] who says that he actually enjoys Bob's nitpicks because he is the most involved in the plot and the characters while also being a great member of the CastCalculus.
