8!Tropes featured In Roleplayers include:
9* BigDamnHeroes: Both Cassie and Sallie get their moments. Unfortunately Sallie also ends up [[spoiler:killing Elliot's character, since they were mad at each other.]]
10* BlackMage: Elliot's character, Sharael, loves to use Fire Magic.
11* BloodKnight: Ben's character, Barbie (a Barbarian) just likes to "kill sh_t".
12* CatchPhrase: "Suck it to the Max!"
13* CombatMedic: Cassie's character, Cassandra, is a Cleric.
14* DungeonCrawling: Except it's imaginary of course.
15* {{Fanservice}}: To be expected when male players create female characters. (The ''real'' female characters are more normal.)
16* FighterMageThief: This are Ben, Elliot and Mordecai's roles. Later Cassie and Sallie join as a Cleric and a Druid, respectively.
17* GameMaster: This is Wei's role.
18* GameSystem: Pretty typical of tabletop RPGS, except it also includes stats for A & B (Ass and Breast size!)
19* GirlsHaveCooties: Partially subverted- the boys are happy to welcome the (attractive) Cassie to their group. But then she brings in the ill-tempered Sallie...
20* InAndOutOfCharacter: Used to comedic effect.
21* MechanicallyUnusualClass: Wei allowed Elliot to play as a Succubus.
22* {{Sourcebook}}: The comic features one, complete with illustrations.
23* ThisLoserIsYou: It takes an RPG fan to know how to mock them. However, despite the obvious stereotypes, the characters are shown as realistic persons, as well.
