I found this to be quite an amusing read because it's so true. Some of them are absent from the best RPGs, yet others are still present. You can't you have an RPG where you're not the focus of attention in the world, though, can you?

Not very funny.

 

The picture of Bob Saget mildy amuses me though.

I thought it was great...and the picture of Bob Saget was hilarious.

 

But, then, I don't play RPGs very often.

A guide explaining roleplaying cliches is so cliche itself.

Good one, I say. The one about locking doors is in "all" RPGs, ain't it?

As I mentioned in my initial post, some of the better RPGs don't have alot of those. However, just having recently played that, there is a loophole that works most of the time. Have someone initiate conversation with the person so they're facing away from the thing you're gonna steal. They'll tell you to get out of their house and while they do that, have your best theif (Imoen) crack the lock while they're back is turned. It's worked in every house in Beregost for me. If you force the lock with your strongest character, they'll turn to look what you're doing and then call the guards. So as said, it works nearly all of the time but realistically there's a chance of failure.
