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 eladrin 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.

Tropes found in this webcomic:

• 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 Sociopathy. Of course, it is Ardon talking, 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.
• Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": No one knows Peanut's real name, but they just call him Peanut because the bar patrons named him that.
• Everything's Better With Cows: 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.

Ardon: What do you think? Dagger? 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. Ardon: Pfft, what's the worst that could happen? Here, try this one, Kobold... HE STABBED HIMSELF IN THE EYE! 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. Naturally, he's wrong.
• Nominal Importance: Invoked by Ardon.

Odivallus: Almost half of our party members don't even have names. 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.

Ardon: What the FUCK are we watching?

• Revenge Before Reason: Ardon

45: We could have retrieved the Crown of Ackuul Rah. It's power is legendary and its monetary value immense. Ardon: Yes, but this quest involves killing something that I have a personal grudge against. 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.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Ardon is this 90% of the time. The remaining 10% is him being a Genius Ditz.
