I actually found a frew of these that I've actually encountered playing through RPGs from years ago, and these are so true... Seriously, why does the main character have to always have the sword instead of a gun in a modern placed environment (Squall anyone? CLOUD EITHER??)?

heh, there was a topic like this a while ago.....
but yeah its true, most rpg's are like that.

Musta been over a year or two ago then since I never found one! But yeah... some of these are pretty damn funny and stupid.

That's old, man... There are also other rules like that, including an anime/cartoon one...

"No matter how thoroughly devastated the continent/planet/universe is, there's always some shopkeeper who survived the end of the world and sits outside the gates of the villain's castle, selling the most powerful equipment in the game, like nothing ever happened."

So true.

"Every problem in the universe can be solved by finding the right long-haired prettyboy and beating the crap out of him."

They missed one. If there is an animal that talks, it has more intelligence than all characters combined, and at some point will:

A. Turn out to be a spirit and depart in a cloud of butterflies.

or

B. Die pitifully by the master's side, blood all over the animal, and he/she saying how he/she wished that he/she can stand beside his/her master forever. Then a dramatic tear, and the master sobs and sobs and sobs.... I think you get the idea.

The feature may be rare, but definetely memorable XD.
