"[Something] & [Something Else]"? - robkelk - 10-24-2015 ATT has a page called http://allthetropes.miraheze.org/wiki/Magic_Ampersand]Magic Ampersand - it's a list of all those "[Something] & [Something Else That Usually Begins With The Same Letter]" game names. It's also a mess; as of when I started this thread, it looks like nobody's ever done any copy-editing on it. So, I figured: as long as I'm going to clean up the page (unless Bob beats me to it), I may as well make sure I've got all of the notable titles that fit the scheme... So far, the page has these real games (tabletop and PC/console): Dungeons and Dragons Bunnies and Burrows Castles and Crusades Mutants and Masterminds Villains and Vigilantes Tunnels and Trolls Starships & Spacemen Powers & Perils Might and Magic Swords & Serpents Swords & Sorcery Axes & Arcana And these made-up games: Mazes & Monsters (the movie) Monsters & Mazes (Dexter's Laboratory) Papers & Paychecks (a one-panel comic in the back of the AD&D DMG) Driveways and Desk Jobs ("one college comedy magazine in the US") Cubicles and Conference Calls (Kingdom of Loathing) Aliens & Asteroids (War of the Worlds TV series) Grottos and Gremlins (Bully) Sewers and Serpents (The Big U) Wizards & Warriors (DC Comics) Houses & Humans (FoxTrot) Dungeons & Vikings (Firesign Theatre) Labyrinths & Lamiae (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) And these webstrips: Darths and Droids (and all 26 of its "episode number evenly divisible by 50" bonus strips) D&DS9 (I probably missed some, since the page is in such a mess.)

Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - robkelk - 10-24-2015 Replying to my own post... I did not see Chivalry and Sorcery on the page. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

I have never yet seen a man who can perceive his own faults and bring the charge home against himself." >Analects: Book V, Chaper XXVI - Norgarth - 10-25-2015 Jutsu and Jinchuriki (a 'Naruto as a tabletop RPG' webcomic)http://jutsuandjinchuriki.thecomicserie ... mics/first ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin - Bob Schroeck - 10-25-2015 Axis and Allies springs immediately to mind. And I'll stay off your turf, Rob! -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Foxboy - 10-25-2015 Ogres & Oubliettes, a D&D Parody from the licensed My Little Pony Friendship is Magic comics. ''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.'' -- James Nicoll - Seraviel - 10-25-2015 Ratchet & Clank, also. -People may die, but ideas are forever. Je suis Charlie. - Shepherd - 10-25-2015 Cities & Cyclists, an RPG played in the Rosario+Vampire/Ranma 1/2 x-over fic Big Human on Campus: After School. The monsters try playing perfectly ordinary human beings going about their daily lives. It goes hilariously wrong. ---------------------------------------------------- "Anyone can be a winner if their definition of victory is flexible enough." - The DM of the Rings XXXV - robkelk - 10-25-2015 Thanks, all. The page is now cleaned up and updated, so feel free to add more examples there instead of here. Seraviel, I didn't list Ratchet & Clank, since it's neither a game nor a "campaign comic" that turns a show into a fictional game session. The series does have its own Trope page, so it isn't being ignored... -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.
