[http://willsaveworldforgold.com/?p=18 Will Save World For Gold] is a [[Web Comic]] which takes place in a [[RPG Mechanics Verse]] based on the 4th edition of [[Dungeons and& Dragons]].
 
It centers around a dysfunctional adventuring party consisting of the psychopathic [[Our Elves Are Different|eladrin]] [[Miles Gloriosus|warlord]] Ardon, who is joined by Odivallus, a down on his luck human sorceror, Ell, a kind-hearted human paladin, Peanut, a brain-damaged kobold with a knack for disarming traps, and 45, a snarky warforged who joins the party out of a desire to see Ardon's messy death. The comic follows a distinct storyline while at the same time mocking various roleplaying game tropes.
Line 7:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Never prove 45 wrong. The results are not pretty.
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: Ardon's descriptions of Eladrin culture suggest that he may suffer from this more than [[Heroic Sociopath|Sociopathy]]. Of course, it is Ardon talking, [[Unreliable Narrator|so maybe not.]]
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Ardon tends to do this quite a bit. He's also apparently watched cartoons before.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: 45, mainly directed towards Ardon.
Line 13:
* [[Everything's Better with Cows]]: {{spoiler|A famous actress is assaulted by these bovines, and the group fights them, despite their low expectations}}
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Frequently. Notably Ardon and 45 trying to pick out a weapon for Peanut.
{{quote| '''Ardon:''' What do you think? Dagger?<br />
'''45:''' I believe there is a good chance he is proficient. However, I also suspect giving him a sharp metal object will have negative repercussions.<br />
'''Ardon:''' [[Tempting Fate|Pfft, what's the worst that could happen?]] Here, try this one, Kobold... [[Eye Scream|HE STABBED HIMSELF IN THE EYE!]]<br />
'''45:''' You should learn to listen to me. }}
* [[Heroic Sociopath]]: Ardon, who basically wants fame and fortune without being too picky about how he gets it.
* [[If My Calculations Are Correct]]: 45 believes that he has logically predicted the exact time (in D&D turns, no less) when Ardon will die. {{spoiler|Naturally, he's wrong.}}
* [[Nominal Importance]]: Invoked by Ardon.
{{quote| '''Odivallus:''' Almost half of our party members don't even have names.<br />
'''Ardon:''' We shall refer to them as the expendable half. }}
* [[Only Sane Man]]: This role gets shared by Odivallus and Ell.
* [[Precision F-Strike]]: Ardon's reaction to the group going out to watch a play.
{{quote| '''Ardon:''' What the FUCK are we watching?}}
* [[Revenge Before Reason]]: Ardon
{{quote| '''45''': We could have retrieved the Crown of Ackuul Rah. It's power is legendary and its monetary value immense.<br />
'''Ardon:''' Yes, but ''this'' quest involves killing something that I have a personal grudge against.<br />
'''45:''' Ah, I see. So the suitability of a given task is determined solely by your own erratic pettiness. }}
* [[What Measure Is a Mook?]]: The message of the play the group ends up watching.
