I thought this would be good to have since a lot of game clichés can transfer into text role-plays.
The RPG Cliché List
Longer then the other one, and is in alphabetical order.
The Grand List of Over Used Sci-Fi Clichés!
I’m not so into Sci-fi stories and such, but it’s useful anyways.
Dictionary of RPG Clichés
Another RPG one, but hey, why not? Has some other things.
Grand List of Fantasy Clichés
Doesn’t have as many, but gets the point across.
List of All Clichés
The title is misleading, since it doesn’t have every cliché, but has quite a number that others don’t. Mostly has common sayings.
List of fighting game character stereotypes
I found this amusing since I started role-playing in a sword-fighter rp.
The Grand List of Horribly over used Medieval/ Renaissance Clichés
A simple list to keep in mind for more medieval stuff.
Risus Fantasy Clichés
Has clichés from races, straight down to the fantasy hooks.
Forbidden Cliché List 2003
Like the rest, has a rant of the person, then they rant about each cliché. This is more for super hero stories and plots.
The not so grand Cliché list (Fantasy)
Has some different clichés then the others.
