=== Problematic tropes from the game itself: ===
* [[Complete Monster]]: The Walking-Man is a Clockstopper whose presence near a community causes a variety of unpleasant effects; its technological development rapidly degrades to the point where ''language''-- not just spoken language, but ''body language''-- no longer works; normal people go from being normal, to Luddite hippies, to savage cavemen, to unthinking animals incapable of any meaningful interaction with any other being before they become catatonic and die off; and the technology of eating fails or something similar where there are no survivors and no way to determine what happened.
* [[Crazy Awesome]]: Any awesomeness in the setting will likely be crazy by default. That goes for events as well as characters.
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: These sorts of theories are the principles on which Wonders [[Magic-Powered Pseudoscience|supposedly]] operate. [[Genre Savvy|Many Geniuses realize]] this is not how things ''actually'' work. Fortunately, belief in their explanatory theory isn't as important as the fact that they ''supply'' an explanatory theory and build their devices accordingly.
