It's easier to run off cliches I don't like, because "cliche" implies there's not really anything going for it other than just being something you've seen a million times. If I come across a familiar trope but written in an interesting and dynamic way, the fact it's "cliche" probably won't even register.

It only becomes a cliche if you dislike it. By virtue of you not being tired of it yet, it's just a common trope.

>Crazy Paranormal/Extraterrestrial secret wars shit like goes in the middle of Bufu fucking nowhere.
>Some X-Com, Men In Black Gmen actually show up to figure out what the fuck is going on.

Not really a trope so much as it is common sense, but you'd be surprised how ridiculous and insane it would seem without it.

One of the reasons I stopped watching Steven Universe was that this shit never happened, no matter how much crazy shit happened. I mean, I'm not saying every setting should just turn into starship troopers or x-com whenever shit gets real, but it's be nice to have a sign that humanity isn't completely fucking retarded.

We purge

It's a trick, you'll become a ghoul as soon as you kiss her.

Or fuck her, whichever comes first.

I came here to gather XP.

Everything other than arming sword or a longsword is tryhard edgy shit.

I love big ass fuck huge greatswords meself, but I've got nothing against a good ol fashion longsword either.

I have fallen in love with the long spear, but my favorite weapon and fighting style is 1.5 handing a bastard sword.

A man that would betray his people to go rogue and found his own country.

This understandably pissed the BBEG off, who's making it a point to wreck the continent just to see his old idol either take advantage of the chaos or freak out.

His older brother.
Guy had a messed-up childhood, and within the span of half a century, his big brother was the only person in the world he trusted or cared about. Which ended badly when that same brother banished him for being an amoral warlock who carried out crazy experiments using resources from the wizarding school he went to. He basically jumped off the deep end after that, and actually hated one of the party members for sharing an uncanny resemblance to his beloved sibling.

Himself from the future. It was an "All You Zombies" situation minus the "Taking yourself back in time so he can impregnating his younger self so she can give birth to yourself so you can steal yourself to give yourself up for adoptation and become a time cop" thing.

>tfw still no idea what to play

I think I want to do skill monkey but I have been party face for the last two games and rogue or slayer feels like it would be a weak choice for a magic heavy game.

Cute dog.

To bad it's such a fag.

>>49877970
You know, I don't even like HFY, but I thought at some point while totally not thinking about creating my own system that they could have trait that gives them the ability, if they chose to, to put more dice/more points into a roll of their choice per day. Because of their extra ambition or will power or something like this. That still makes flexible, it could be used for anything.

>>49878105
I'm unsure if it would fit my purposes tonally, but it's a decent idea.

>>49878190
Why is that? I think it suits both your points of importance.

I'm a fan of mechs when they're done well

>>49854934
Mecha are extremely unrealistic. There's nothing they can do what tanks cannot do better and in general they're just big walking targets that will get blown apart in any sensible situations. People who like mecha are overly excitable manchildren who think rule of cool trumps sensibility and get butthurt when told otherwise.

In addition, there are people who KNOW mecha are stupid and unrealistic and still like them. These are a bit ore honest in that they KNOW they're wallowing in filth. The real problem is that they see nothing wrong with it.

Mechafags are katanafags of science fiction.
