I've been interested in the theoretical parts of game design for a long while and found the wiki page tvtropes.org just recently. It contains classifications of common elements in all kinds of media and fiction, interactive and not. It turns out none of my own ideas are in the least original, but at least now I can stand on the shoulders of giants :)

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

Re: Taking it to the next level
Yes, that's a funny and intresting page which is worth reading it on its own. I found it a while ago and found reading it very amusing and enlighting :-) Don't judge your ideas too hard. As the page says, tropes are not necessarily bad :-)
