Welcome to the 30 Day challenge of November which is going to be all about Role Playing Games of all shapes and sizes, whether produced in Japan or USA, tactical or real-time and more.

It’s time for the secretly destined hero to grab their demure yet buxom love interest white mage and your Fantasy Race Racist friend as you set out to stop the cultists breaking the seal on the Angel-Winged Evil God Dragon to remake the imperfect world, because today we’re talking the tropes or clichés of RPGs!
And so, the main prompt of the day is: What are your most noticeable tropes and clichés in RPGs? Any you’re a sucker for, and any that always make you roll your eyes?

Bonus prompt: What are your favorite/least favorite character archetypes?

New Prompt Plus: What RPGs excelled at executing their tropes, and what RPGs botched what should be easy layups?

Optional Postgame prompt: Any good RPG subversions of tried and true tropes, like the Chosen One, ancient sealed evils?
