The Grand List of Console Role Playing Game Cliches

I found it earlier, read most of it and frankly laughed my head off at a number of them. To me it's a case of "It's funny because it's true".

[edit] Link fixed. Thanks Yiddiddy.

Why the hell did I post that link? Strange. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out.

i remember seeing this a few years ago. still funny as all hell though. i'm especially fond of 'the moral of the story' rule.

Saw it awhile ago. What you have to do is MS paint certain cliches for a good laugh.

Seen it before. I've actually tried to live by these when I think of RPGs. Hopefully will lead me to something better than that.

Christy has seen these before. She likes them, because they're really fun to tie into original concepts. Then people have fun with cliche arcs but original plot twists. They're fun to review when making an RPG to make sure one is on the right track when making original RPGs! Yay!
