1* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: For Liliana. Whether she's a BitchInSheepsClothing or a victim of her circumstances depends largely on whether you believe that Gideon is manipulating her in the same way that he did Hamid.
2* ArchivePanic: Over 190 episodes and counting, clocking in at 40 minutes to 1 hour each, just in the main canon, as well as regular special non-canon episodes.
3* FriendlyFandoms:
4** With Podcast/TheMagnusArchives — unsurprising, given that they're two of the Rusty Quill's biggest shows. All of Rusty Quill Gaming's players have [[ProductionPosse featured as voice actors]] in The Magnus Archives and many of The Magnus Archives's voice actors have been guest players in Rusty Quill Gaming's specials.
5** Also with Podcast/StellarFirma, which also [[ProductionPosse features a lot of the same voice actors]].
6* HoYay:
7** Zolf/Hamid is a very popular ship, despite Hamid claiming to be straight. This is likely due to the large number of intense emotional interactions they had in season 1, especially towards the season finale when [[spoiler:Zolf had a HeroicBSOD and Hamid confessed to hero-worshipping him]]. The ship is so popular that both Ben and Bryn have made references to enjoying Zolf/Hamid FanFiction and FanArt.
8** Then there's Zolf and Wilde's relationship which by Alex and Ben's own admissions is somewhere between platonic and romantic. Ben eventually said he ruled out any 'on-screen' romance due to Wilde being a [[RealPersonFic historical figure]].
9* IdiosyncraticShipNaming: Several.
10** Aphroguedite for Azu/Sasha, as a combination of "rogue" (Sasha's class) and "Aphrodite" (Azu's god).
11** Palapals for Azu/Grizzop, the group's two paladins.
12** Riverbank for Zolf/Hamid, as a nod to Zolf's connections with Poseidon and the al-Tahan FamilyBusiness.
13* LauncherOfAThousandShips: It's hard to find a notable male character that hasn't been shipped with Oscar Wilde.
14* MemeticBadass: The old man the party tries to catch during the Paris arc. The party botches their attempt at the parkour chase so astoundingly badly that [[spoiler:Sasha]], [[spoiler:Bertie]], and [[spoiler:Brutor]] all come within inches of death. The party proceeds to NeverLiveItDown, and the old man is continually referenced as the most dangerous creature in their entire adventure.
15* MemeticMutation:
16** "But we respect his craft" every time Alex twists the story in an even darker direction.
17** Describing {{Mooks}} as "lads and/or blokes."
18** Grizzop will shoot off your kneecaps.
19** Ben's got LOADS of hitpoints!
20* OneSceneWonder: Both Grag and The Channel Tunnel Train Driver provided surprisingly long-lasting memes, to the point that both ''KEEEEEESH'' and ''DOOOOOOOM'' (their respective Signature Quotes) can be found on official merchandise.
21* PortmanteauCoupleName: Loads. Notable examples include Zamid (Zolf/Hamid), Zoscar (Zolf/Oscar Wilde), Sazu (Sasha/Azu), Hazu (Hamid/Azu), Wildezop (Wilde/Grizzop) and the surprisingly creative Amstahan (Grizzop/Hamid.)
