GM: "To business! Jeremie needs some spare parts for building robots and decides to search for some in the abandoned factory near the school."
Stein: "Why would I go looking for junk in a rundown, death trap of a factory?"
GM: "Would you rather spend your money or get free stuff?"
Stein: "So what kind of junk do I find?"
— A conversation between the GM and one of the players near the beginning of the campaign.
Code Game Night
is a webcomic in the vein of DM of the Rings (found here) and Darths & Droids (found here), but instead retells the story of Code Lyoko.
The comic follows a group of college students playing a homebrew campaign based on Code Lyoko in a world where the show never existed. The creator MagicMixture is also making a separate webcomic based on the adventures of three idiots who band together to beat an MMO before time runs out. Here
Code Game Night provides examples of the following tropes:
- Abandoned Warehouse: The Abandoned Factory that Jeremie finds at the start of the comic that will later act as the base of operations for our heroes.
- Accidental Misnaming: With a enemy name like “Kankrelates” how could you not misname them?
- Action Girl: Rachel’s character Yumi Ishiyama, and eventually Madeline’s character Aelita as well.
- A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The tiny robots that Jeremie made attack him after being corrupted by a virus from the Big Bad.
- Campaign Comic: Of Code Lyoko.
- Darker and Edgier: The comic establishes the 'Return to the Past doesn't undo XANA induced deaths' rule by having a janitor die during the gas attack in Holiday in the Fog and then promptly keel over after the RttP.
- Down the Drain: To get the Eric and Stein from Kadic Academy to the Abandoned Factory.
- Establishing Character Moment: Stein's very first line is him bragging about how he has been finished with his character sheet for nearly twenty minutes. He must be the life of the party.
- Game Master: Of course this comic would have one, it is a campaign comic after all.
- Harmless Electrocution: When Stein’s character is electrocuted he only loses three HP and is knocked unconscious. Here
- In and Out of Character: Being a campaign comic, this is to be expected. This Trope is often Invoked by the characters in the comic during the more uneventful moments of the campaign.
- Large Ham: How Ian prefers to play Jim Morales.
- Never Split the Party: When the players lampshade how everyone just so happens to have the same class, the GM mentions how insane it would be to have them all be separated. Here However, throughout the comic the players continue to Avert this trope at least once per session.
- Shipper on Deck: Surprisingly, Andy is the one who is most excited to see Eric and Rachel’s romantic subplot.
- Talking Is a Free Action: Subverted when Rachel uses an attack of opportunity on Eric while he is still confused about what to do.
- You All Meet in an Inn: Defied. Despite how badly Ian wants it, the GM is never going to start the party (most of whom are minors in-game) in a bar. NEVER.
