The Gamers: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

* Hierophant: The leader of the Church of Therinn {{spoiler|and the final villain. He wishes to use the mask to achieve his own ends}}.

* Mark: In a [[Continuity Nod]], Mark from the first movie reappears a couple of times. He no longer roleplays following the [[Total Party Kill]] with a twist that ended that movie.

* King Erasmus the Randomly-Biased: [[What's Up King Dude|Sovereign king]] of the realm. Unusually acquiescent to random goings-on in his court.

* King Erasmus the Randomly-Biased: [[What's Up, King Dude?|Sovereign king]] of the realm. Unusually acquiescent to random goings-on in his court.

Not to be confused with ''[[Gamers (Film)|Gamers]]'' , a film about a far more dysfunctional crew of players, or the Scottish film [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450269/ GamerZ].

Line 82:

* [[Gender Bender]]: Luster is constantly switching between female and male due to Gary forgetting and being reminded of her true gender.

* [[Gentleman Thief]]: The Bandit King with [[A Glass of Chianti]].

* [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]]: When Gary decides to hit on Joanna's character, she reminds him he's role playing a woman. That doesn't dissuade him.

* [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]]: When Gary decides to hit on Joanna's character, she reminds him he's role playing a woman. That doesn't dissuade him.

* [[Groin Attack]]: "Called shot to the nuts!"

* [[Happy Dance]]: Both the characters and the players in the first film after they defeat [[Big Bad|the Shadow]].

Line 109:

* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Flynn maintains that he is able to sneak attack a book, despite it's lack of a discernible anatomy, due to the fact that it has a "spine".([[Did Not Do the Research|Despite bards not being able to sneak attack in the first place.]])

* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: "Oh, Monks you have a problem with. Ninjas are okay!"

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: A lot of Cass's complaints are pretty valid. Joanna's fighter build has a good damage output and can mow down mooks, but is completely useless as a tank. Kevin's depowering the cleric in the first party then swarming them with tough undead basically amounts to [[Rocks Fall Everyone Dies]], and they only beat it the second time by preparing the right (arcane) spells ahead of time with no in-game clues. Blocking basic classes and most of the races is something very few players would put up with.

** Except that, you know. A Fighter doesn't have to be a tank, there are canon D&D ways to cut a Cleric off from his Deity, swarming the party with enemies after depowering them while the bad guy laughs is a great opportunity for the players to run (except most are too dumb to think of that), and [[G Ms]] stating that Class/Race X does not exist in his custom world is perfectly normal, especially when stated ahead of time. Sorry, Jerkass' only point is "You're playing the game different to the way I want to therefore you are wrong".

* [[Kavorka Man]]: Flynn, to be kind, is not the kind of Bard women typically swoon for. Thank god for high seduction stats.

Line 117:

'''Gary''': Wait, your name is Kevin?<br />

'''Leo''': You ''have'' a first name? }}

* [[Last Second Word Swap]]: "Yeah, just like surfing the Internet for [[The Internet Is for Porn|porn]]...litical commentary."

* [[Last-Second Word Swap]]: "Yeah, just like surfing the Internet for [[The Internet Is for Porn|porn]]...litical commentary."

* [[Loophole Abuse]]: Nimble convinces the GM to let him [[Back Stab]] [[The Brute|a powerful enemy]] with, as the GM puts it "A fucking siege weapon!?"

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Flynn sings a happy and soothing tune telling a panicked peasant to shut up or he'll let the sorceress murder him. And it ''works.''

Line 143:

** Leading to an incident during a large battle where the party needs to seek cover from an exceptionally powerful enemy and Leo advises them to "hide behind the mound of dead bards." And it ''works''.

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with Cass. The fact that [[Ho Yay|Gary]] is [[Crosses the Line Twice|dressed in black and thwacking him with a riding crop]] [[Fetish Fuel|doesn't help matters]].

* [[Shout Out]]: From the second movie:

* [[Shout-Out]]: From the second movie:

** The words "LONG LIVE GYGAX" are inscribed on a cursed door, referencing the game's late creator.

** Lodge's cat is named [[Forgotten Realms|Guenhwyvar]].

Line 161:

* [[Tap On the Head]]: If you need to be knocked out ''don't let the freakin' barbarian do it.''

* [[They Killed Kenny]]: The Bard, full stop.

* [[Third Person Seductress]]: Luster, based on Gary's [[Hot Teacher]]. {{spoiler|he gets the idea to hit on Daphne, gets reminded he's playing a woman, and decides to continue hitting on her because [[Girl On Girl Is Hot]].}}

* [[Third Person Seductress]]: Luster, based on Gary's [[Hot Teacher]]. {{spoiler|he gets the idea to hit on Daphne, gets reminded he's playing a woman, and decides to continue hitting on her because [[Girl-On-Girl Is Hot]].}}

* [[Treacherous Quest Giver]]: {{spoiler|The Hierophant}} from the second movie. [[An Aesop|Most of the players don't notice this]] because acting like [[Munchkin|Munchkins]] has effectively rendered them [[Genre Blind]].

* [[Treacherous Quest-Giver]]: {{spoiler|The Hierophant}} from the second movie. [[An Aesop|Most of the players don't notice this]] because acting like [[Munchkin|Munchkins]] has effectively rendered them [[Genre Blind]].

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: ''Technically'' not a villain, but {{spoiler|Cass had spent the entire campaign openly ridiculing and condescending to ex-girlfriend Joanna (Mid-argument, Gary breaks in to say "Why did you guys break up again?") namely for being a new gamer and [[Most Gamers Are Male|a woman]]. On top of this, his ex-girlfriend and [[Game Master]] best friend openly and blatantly hit on each other. Cass's [[Jerkass]] tendencies reach the exploding point when Joanna's character earns a single unlimited wish. Instead of using it to obtain godhood or anything else that might benefit her and/or the party, she asks for Sir Osric to be resurrected. As the group's biggest [[Munchkin]], this [[No True Scotsman|goes against everything he stands for]]. Put off by Joanna and Lodge's sentimental [[The Roleplayer|story-before-achivement]] tendencies, Cass ends up [[Rage Quit|shouting at everyone and storming off]].}}

*** [[Straw Man Has a Point|Cass does have a point]] in that {{spoiler|Osric}} died [[Death Is Cheap|in a building filled to the brim with clerics where Flinn had been resurrected literally moments ago,]] but one can easily presume that {{spoiler|being killed by the Mask of Death}} might be a [[Deader Than Dead|bit more permanent]].
