1* CreatorBacklash: Quantum Drop dislikes his fourth turn (turn 40) in the Museum III continuity, viewing it as badly-written, filled with [[FlatCharacter flat or two-dimensional POV characters]], and with far too much [[{{Munchkin}} munchkinery]] on his part as opposed to telling an actual story. [[note]]For an example of this: all three main characters are killed and resurrected as powerful [[TheUndead intelligent undead]] with GameBreaker magic, [[InfinityPlusOneSword adamantine weapons]] [[ArmorOfInvincibility and armour]], then go on to kill hundreds of HFS (meant to be an endgame challenge and treated in-universe as a massive threat to adventurers) with relative ease. At few to no points are the ramifications of this on the characters or the world around them explored much, as opposed to the earlier example of Bralbaard (whose undeath is a major factor in his character and actions following his resurrection) and the later example of Moldath (who manages to be similarly overpowered while retaining meaningful characterization).[[/note]]
2* FollowTheLeader: The Museum has spawned a pair of spinoffs/imitators, most notably the currently-active [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=179648.0 Stalkmatches - the Blade of Many Hands]] and the short-lived [[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=177379.msg8200045#msg8200045 The Monster Hunter Guild of Slodiakul]]. Both retain much of The Museum's core conceit, but they also include their own unique twists (Slodiakul emphasised hunting monsters and brought in popular mods from the community to spice things up, while Stalkmatches emphasises racking up kills with a single artefact weapon over gathering artefacts). Unusually for most cases of this trope, both were created by active contributors to the mainline Museum.
3* SequelGap: Museum III started five real-life years after Museum II's last turn finished.
