TVTropes.

It's one of the Internet's leading sources of Skub, so we'll try to confine ourselves to a few simple facts.

In essence, it exists to catalog the various recurring patterns in stories, characters, and general entertainment production and consumption.

It's a great place, in theory, to go to find ideas for your next campaign - but don't overdo it, since that's only in theory. Beyond that, it's worth mentioning here only because it has had a definite influence on fandom and internet culture in general, being a product of such. It's also prone to in-jokes that occasionally leak out onto the wider Internet (sometimes known as a TVTropism).

To speak of it any further is to invite madness.

WARNING

  • You can find it here. Do not click that link unless you are prepared to accept the consequences.
  • The most notable fork is found here; All the Tropes was due to censorship issues, so it's a better source when talking about PROMOTIONS-style material. Both All the Tropes wikis are also painfully out of date and need a Titan-load of work done to catch up with the inferior website - a rather obvious downside to being less popular. The staff are also a lot more helpful than those on TV Tropes and you don't need a username to edit. Also they have less ads.
