As GM's and players, I bet we all have noticed them. You know these odd little things that reoccur either on the game table or in the literature of the day.

• The guy who tries to introduce a dark elf who fights with dual scimitars into the 1920's gangster role-playing session, because it worked so well in last week's 1789 pirate scenario, and the week before during the 2102 alien invasion setting.
  
• The sickly frail wizard with a Con rated at 14 out of 18.
• The authors who think "epic battle" means 20 pages of character description, which is covered already in chapters 1 thru 11, and a romantic dialog all leading up to the paragraph with the evil wizard casting a fireball before saying something like "Curses foiled again!"
• Two dwarves and a mule behind a broken down wagon are able to hold off the horde that is threatening the known world's very existence.
• The GM who is going to make that "house rule" work THIS time.
• The GM who keeps a copy of Atlas Shrugged next to his GM's Guide.
• The player that keeps getting his Dianetics paperback confused with his copy of the game's "psionic" rules.
• The guy who talks about spending "blood points" while you're playing golf.
• How kender always made hobbits look like serious role-playing archtypes.
