'''''[http://yafgc.net/ Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]''''' is an irregularly-updated [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|fantasy comic]] following the lives and (mis)adventures of the ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|D&D]]'' monsters of the Black Mountain, and their interactions with the rest of the world. As the comic went on, more and more characters got added to the cast, and now plenty of "good" humans and other characters living outside of Black Mountain get their own arcs as well.

Notable for its sense of humour, sketch-like yet very nice artwork, and complex character development and interaction.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Mom]]: Mrs Bloodhand is by far the best fighter around.
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Agony of the Feet]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=1398 Yes, it can happen even to a god.]
* [[Exclusively Evil]]: Actually, [[Lawful Evil]]. It's parodied in the school mini-arc when a young gnoll gets scolded by the teacher for being ''good'' in class.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: Very apparent, especially in the Lost Valley arc, with a couple characters, including a half-brother to one of the main character's love interest being offed fairly early into the storyline.
* [[Anything That Moves]]: Charlotte
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Multiple instances, including Glon and his wives.
* [[Art Shift]]: Twice.
** [http://yafgc.net/?id=674 Strip #674] is done in [[Stick Figure Comic|Stick Figure Style]] as a [[Homage]] to ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''.
** [http://yafgc.net/?id=1076 Strip #1076] shifts to medieval tapestry along with rhyming narration, as a [[Homage]] to Ed Gorey and the theme song of the TV show ''Mystery!''
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Satyrs, and Cadugan's deertaur friend.
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Both Gren and Bob and Clover and Eric.
* [[Bag of Kidnapping]]: Clover was caught this way once.
* [[Being Evil Sucks]]: Lewie never wanted to be evil, and he is cursed for that with bad luck. [[Evil Feels Good|The rest of the cast, however...]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: Several characters have these:
** Do not harm, attempt to harm or insult Glon in front of his mother
** Do not harm, attempt to harm or insult any member of Glon's family where he can hear you
** Do not steal from Arachne
** Do not mess with Gren, it upsets Bob the Beholder
** DO NOT SACRIFICE A SCORPII TO LOLTH!!!
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Bob is, all things considered, a fairly nice guy for an evil creature, and rarely causes much trouble beyond satisfying his own libido. That said, you still shouldn't forget on of the cardinal rules of adventuring: [http://yafgc.net/?id=250 Never,] [http://yafgc.net/?id=263 ever,] [http://yafgc.net/?id=356 under] [http://yafgc.net/?id=622 any] [http://yafgc.net/?id=635 circumstances,] [http://yafgc.net/?id=653 piss] [http://yafgc.net/?id=684 off] [http://yafgc.net/?id=714 a] [http://yafgc.net/?id=1195 beholder!]

* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: Rich must have a crush on Maula Bloodhand. When she shows up, the fight's over.

* [[Brick Joke]]: In 2009's [[April Fools]] strip, Arachne [http://yafgc.net/?id=1039 steals a time-traveling car] for a few moments. A year later, we find out [http://yafgc.net/?id=1404 what she figured would happen.]
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Arachne [http://www.yafgc.net/?id=167 had troubles remembering] princess Dewcup. Her brother Glitterbranch [http://yafgc.net/?id=955 had to get more specific], too.
* [[The Cameo]]: The only person who understands Cap'n Fang is [[Homestar Runner|Homsar]].
** In a later strip, [[Doctor Who|the Ninth Doctor]] makes a wrong turn from ''[[The 10 Doctors]]''. Arachne briefly steals his clothes and Drax's car.
** Appears that Han Solo shows up [http://yafgc.net/?id=690 for a few strips]. He's referred to as "Hans".
** Sam the Eagle (from ''[[The Muppet Show]]'') is one of the kenku.
** The ''American Idol'' judges (Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell era) are [http://yafgc.net/?id=1037 the judges for the Black Mountain bardic competition.] Sort of.
** The [[Ghost Hunters]] show up [http://yafgc.net/?id=833 starting here] to debunk the haunting of Grayfort castle.

* [[Defeat by Modesty]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=260 Here].
* [[Dem Bones]]: King Lewie and his minions.

* [[Didn't Think This Through]]: A vampire tries to turn a cyclops, but didn't take into account [http://yafgc.net/?id=815 just how much blood he had.]
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: Tends to happen a lot to Charlotte and Arachne... as well as quite a few other characters.
* [[The Ditz]]: Charlotte, and also {{spoiler|Lolth}}.
* [[The Drunken Sailor]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=692 Cap'n Corona] of the "[http://yafgc.net/?id=694 Crown Jewel]" keeps himself constantly so drunk he [http://yafgc.net/?id=702 mentally matches Fang].

* [[Elfeminate]]: Only the drow are on the safe side.
* [[Face Palm]]: Throughout the comic. Captain Fang is the main inspirator.
** Done on an epic, royal level [http://yafgc.net/?id=561 when King Eric realizes who he'd want to marry].
* [[Fan Service]]: Lots and lots of it; for both genders.

* [[Gender Flip]]: The [http://yafgc.net/?id=366 one year anniversary strip] is a [[Gender Flip]] of the [http://yafgc.net/?id=1 first strip]. Well, except for the ending.
** [http://yafgc.net/?id=1411 And here] is a gender flip of ''Little Red Riding Hood''... also with a twist ending.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Bob isn't terribly bright and is easily [[Distracted by the Sexy]], but he's a very competent fighter, especially where Gren is involved.
* [[Go-Go Enslavement]]: Seems to be standard for Drow Males, or slaves of the drow in general. Clothes are a privilege.

* [[Homage]]: See [[Art Shift]].
* [[Improbable Species Compatibility]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=485 Turg and the Sphinx.] [[The Big Guy|Turg]] is the Skitty in this case, oddly enough. He lampshades it in response to Glon's understandable befuddlement:
{{quote|'''Glon:''' But she's... so... and ''you're''... If you ever wanted to... how would you...???
'''Turg:''' There is magic in our world, Glon. ''Anything'' is possible. }}
** And in [http://yafgc.net/?id=1506 this] strip, we see exactly how it works. And the Sphinx is {{spoiler|pregnant}} -- [[Squee|daawwwww]].

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Though Eric isn't particularly huge for a human, he's twice as tall as Clover.
* [[Human Mail]]: Charlotte, after one too many [[The Millstone|millstone]] moments, is [http://yafgc.net/?id=995 packed into a wooden crate and shipped off as a slave.]
* [[If It's You It's Okay]]: Seems to be how Lucas views his relationship with Cadugan. When his father ([[Our Ghosts Are Different|'s ghost]]) is shocked that Lucas is sleeping with a man, he explains -- "You want to know if I like boys. I don't know. I like ''that'' boy."
* [[Ignored Epiphany]]: Charlotte in [http://yafgc.net/?id=1845 this strip].
{{quote|'''Charlotte''': Even trying to sate my old hungers, I couldn't shake my feelings for Lotharia. And then the obvious solution hit me!
'''Lucas''': Release the sacrifices and confess your true feelings to Lotharia?
'''Charlotte''': No! Carnal excess! More sacrifices! }}
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: Gadgia decapitates several [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|Gi-Ants]] [http://yafgc.net/?id=1758 with a CLOAK.]

* [[Jaw Drop]]: Bob, [http://yafgc.net/?id=349 here]. Lewie, [http://yafgc.net/?id=635 quite literally, here.]
* [[Jeanne D'Archetype]]: [[Meaningful Name|Jone Half-Orc]] is an ultimately harshly [[Deconstructed Trope|deconstructed]] version.
* [[Kick the Dog]]: Just in case you started to think of Jone as a (relatively) innocent bystander in her "army's" slaughter, [http://yafgc.net/?id=1373 there's this.]
* [[Literal Genie]]: The genie in the [[Arabian Nights Days]] story arc. Not out of malice, though, but extreme stupidity.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Even the cast of Black Mountain would count, then you have two kingdoms, a barony, the bards, the pirates, the desert cities, and now we've added a handful of Nordic-esque dragon slayers to the list.
** So much they have an own forum section just for that, with one topic per character... and the overview spawns several pages.
* [[Love At First Punch]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=862 Lady Adwen] and [http://yafgc.net/?id=885 Sir Catianus] are rather... evenly... [http://yafgc.net/?id=887 matched].
* [[Mama Bear]]: ''Never'' mess around with Glon if his mother is even theoretically able to see it, and [http://yafgc.net/?id=1208 don't insult him either].

* [[Marshmallow Hell]]
{{quote|'''Glon''': [http://yafgc.net/?id{{=}}254 It's reeeeeally good to see you, Charlotte!] }}
* [[Misplaced Sorrow]]: When Meegs [http://yafgc.net/?id=1894 loses her apprentice], she's apparently inconsolable. Because...

* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Charlotte, actually "a little bit evil", but who is mainly [[The Ditz]].

* [[The Mirror Shows Your True Self]]: The Mirror of True Reflection.

* [[Monster Adventurers]]
* [[Mouth of Sauron]]: The annoying, insane kobold who follows Jone around, as Jone herself is either mute or simply refuses to speak to anybody.

* [[My Death Is Just the Beginning]]: Duke Owen Grayfort convinces the goddess Ch'thier to let him have one final conversation with his sons, Glon and Lucas. In order to ensure he can continue to help Lucas in the afterlife, he tells Lucas to bury him with three coins instead of the traditional two, and proceeds to [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|tell Ch'thier that the third coins made for an "improper burial," and therefore grounds for a haunting!]]

* [[Nay Theist]]: The Drow and the Orcs reject their respective patron gods in the wake of their war.

* [[Oh Crap]]: A suitably epic one for [http://yafgc.net/?id=1200 comic 1200].
* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]: Jone. The fact that her first victims are men (and jerkass) make the women thinking she's a defender of their cause.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Jone's dealing with the townsfolk that treated her and her mom like crap.
* [[Seashell Bra]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=1535 Mi] wears shell top, shell bottom and shell ornament. Of course, as a gen, she's small enough to pull that with normal sized shells.
* [[Sense Freak]]: Lolth is drinking, sleeping around and generally doesn't bother to pay attention to anything else, unless someone is stupid enough to actively provoke it. Apparently once she got an avatar she didn't need to expend power on, and had the current problem neatly "[[All Webbed Up|wrapped up]]", she chose to treat this as an indefinite vacation.
{{quote|'''Arachne''': [http://yafgc.net/?id{{=}}2068 ...and she's still addicted to some of our "mortal sensations".]}}

** Puberty has been generous to [http://yafgc.net/?id=1934 King Runtherd].
* [[Shout-Out]]: Mostly to other fantasy works, such as ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', but also to other pop culture, like ''[[Tremors]]''[http://yafgc.net/?id=1135\]. And more recently ''[[Dungeon Keeper]]''. See also the Cameos, above.
* [[Skewed Priorities]]: Most [http://yafgc.net/?id=565 halflings] know what they want...

** Lady Adwen and Sir Catianus

* [[Invisible to Gaydar]]: Cadugan
* [[Strip Poker]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=379 Here].
* [[Stupid Evil]]: Princess Dewcup trying to join the drow [http://www.yafgc.net/?id=158 got a thing or two mixed up].
* [[Take That]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=1803 The dumbest member of the tribe in Valejo?] [[Gor]].
* [[Talkative Loon]]: Fang
* [[This Is the Part Where]]: A satyr needs [http://yafgc.net/?id=645 an explanation] on what to do when faced with a beholder.

* [[We Could Have Avoided All This]]: [http://yafgc.net/?id=574 This].
* [[Woman Scorned]]: Charlotte.
* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: Why can't Lolth stop the Heart of the Dungeon? {{spoiler|She's too drunk to stand up.}}
