Line 137:
** And, of course, the god of metallic dragons is platinum.
** So strongly do gamers adhere to this tradition that many decried the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' movie, sight unseen, merely upon hearing rumors that its red dragons would be more powerful than its gold ones. (After it came out, of course, they had plenty of other offenses to bitch about.) Presumably, the red ones were ''older'' than the gold, as age trumps color where a D&D dragon's power is concerned.
* In the tabletop RPG ''[[Paranoia (game)|Paranoia]]'', the ranking system is based on color, with infrared (or black) being the lowest and going up through red and the rest of the rainbow all the way to ultraviolet (white). All things painted a certain color—files, walls, floor tiles—can be assumed to be restricted to those ranks and should be absolutely avoided by lower ranks. Therefore, one of the most restricted commodities of all is ''paint'', and the [[Black Market|infrared market]] trade is fast and furious...
* In the early ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' [[metagame]]s, people built up their mana base in the first few turns or drew plenty of cards to get out a combo. Red does not win that way. Red wins by killing you while you're doing that. Fans of red often name their decks things like "Red Deck Wins". Of course, if a red deck fails in these turns, it's practically defenseless from then on. Blue, however, is the color most known for [[Game Breaker]]s.
