CloseYeah, I got ya. I misread you the first time.
It's still kinda interesting what you may find if you compare your game with what's on the site, though.
BTW, do we have to login to edit? It's not letting me do so.

Looks like it. The registration process is rather painless, though. No email or anything required.
Yeah, I just joined the site. Someone give the Hero's Realm entry a description. I'll add in a few tropes here and there once that's done.
Someone should definitely add in a description and a worthy image to the page, but until the page goes public, you don't have to wait until that happens to add in some tropes.
The template for editing this stuff is really something to get used to. I've never edited a Wiki before, much less TV Tropes.

Mog, I'm going to be brutally honest with you. This may look like a good idea right now, but I'm left wondering what the consequences will be once a significant number of people jump on this band wagon. What if TVtropes decides to kick quality control up a few notches and deems these pages not worthy of being on there? I'll admit that this is mostly speculation, but just getting my 2 cents out there.
TVTropes has a very strict "No such thing as notability" policy. The entire point of the site is you can put pretty much anything you want there. However, they have had to tighten their standards recently due to funding issues. Basically, just use common sense with making things, keep it family-friendly, keep language under control, no explicit or adult content, that sort of thing.
That could happen. In fact, I'm surprised some RPG Maker games are even on TVTropes to begin with. However, after browsing through and finding garbage in almost every category, they would have to make a really strong case to remove some of what has already been written.
@ Soli: Some of the material written for TVTropes is hardly family friendly (especially some of the truly bizarre tropes). I'm actually surprised some people manage to get "Crap Past The Radar," if you know what I mean.

Nah, they're pretty lenient, man. Far worse has gotten through TVTropes quality control. If a page looks like someone tried, they won't bother it on the assumption that it'll eventually fix itself through community participation. And it should.
Generally no one is going to give a shit; like Soli said, TV Tropes is all about freedom of information, we'll be fine. Let's actually make something before we worry about it too much.

Hence my use of the word "recently."
Anyway, here's some or the rules/guidelines I put forward the last time we tried this.
-Please conduct yourselves accordingly on the site and don't be jackasses who make a bad impression.
-Don't make a page for your own game.
-Pay attention to the site's format! Don't make pages in some random fashion that doesn't fit. Be consistent.
If you don't know how to format a page properly, ask for help.
-Be willing to put forth an appropriate effort in making the pages. We must describe the game and as many tropes as we can think of. Making lazy pages generally dooms the page to obscurity. It takes a certain amount of commitment (or WikiMagic, as the site itself calls it) to make a page self-sustaining.
-Have some idea what you're doing. Don't sign up for this if you haven o idea how the site works. Spend some time looking around the site first.
Don't make a page for your own game.
-Only games of a certain level of quality should be eligible for a page. "Pikachu's Day Off" does not need a tropes page. Show some restraint and think about what games really deserve them.
-Don't make a page for your own game
-For this project I would prefer we stuck only to complete games. Unfinished games have a bad habit of never being finished around here.
- Don't make a page for your own game.

I'd love to help out at TVTropes, but I'd first have to actually play the mentioned games..
It doesn't have to be the games listed. That's just a starter list. It can be any indie game you want (that isn't already on there)
author=Feldschlacht IVI found and read this topic!
Two pages. Has anybody done anything yet?
Also Hero's Realm's been mentioned there, once, in the Game Favored Gender entry:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GameFavoredGender
EDIT:
The free RPG Hero's Realm also favors females, providing many sets of armor for them while providing nothing for the guys. This gets very obvious very early on, with armor like the "Leather Dress" offering more defense than the gender-neutral "Leather Armor", and spellcasting females getting access to the "Silk Robe" while the males get nothing in comparison.It's also wrong, as I have a Fancy Suit and Ladykiller knife for guys >:|
I've never even heard of tvtropes b4 coming to RMN, therefore I'm left to believe it is not popular enough to be of any use to anyone.
