Tropes You've Had Enough Of

What tropes are you currently sick of?

Not ones you hate in general, but something you just really need a break from before you can enjoy it again.

This 'not having anybody to play with' trope.

Original races
I have begun to hate having to memorize the (mediocre) lore and story behind some (Totally Original You Guys!) races.
> The Xghc'bshs are a race of short people who walk backwards and only exhale. Their culture is a mix of Venice and Feudal Japan and their complex mythology involves seven gods and is seventeen pages long!
I just want someone to go
> These are dwarves. They live in mountains drinking ale and doing dwarf shit, we all on the same page?

>The badguy/evil advisor was actually the only good guy all along.

>The goodguy/legendary hero is actually the main badguy of the campaign.

I swear one or both of these has happened in the last 5 games I've played, and in 4 of them it wasn't really pulled off well enough to come off as anything besides a last-minute forced attempt at a Shaymalan-tier "plot-twist". It can be done well, but at this point I'm sick of it whether it's done well or not.

This guy

badass women warriors
scary kids
rape and incest

This. Although I swear I'm the only one who still thinks Sinbad is going to end up being a good guy in the end.

Also dragons and anything having to do with dragons, whether it be the beasts themselves, people with dragon blood, dragons masquerading as humans, dragon gods, whatever... I don't hate dragons. I actually like the awe and power and raw balance-tipping they can bring to a story, but they're something that needs to be used very rarely, very carefully, and very much with consideration for the setting. If you spam them everywhere, they kinda lose that feeling of being "special". Honestly I think they're best off just existing as myths and legends from the "days of old" rather than a thing that actually exist in any sort of large numbers (if at all) in a campaign's present time.

It's not that bad, as long as the fluff isn't forced down your throat. They just need to fulfill a similar familiar archetype that can be summed up in 3 lines or less. Space Opera has to come up with these every time

>rape and incest

Sounds like you've been in your GM's magical realm without realizing it if it comes up that much.
