| Farador | comment |
Farador is a French-Canadian movie produced in Quebec directed by Edouard Tremblay, starring Eric K. Boulianne, Catherine Brunet, Benoit Drouin-Germain, Lucien Ratio et Métushalème Dary.Based on a short film by Tremblay first released on YouTube called La Bataille De Farador ("The Battle of Farador"), the film tells the story of Charles, Louis, Guillaume and Paul, four geeks who in high school start a tabletop RPG called "Farador" obviously inspired by D&D, with Charles as the GM. The goal for the party is to reach the castle of Farador and defeat its namesake dark lord. Along the way maybe enjoy some fantasies of what the boys don't really experience in real life, like being popular with girls.Fast forward 18 years, and the game is still going. The castle closer than ever, and yet feeling all the more unreachable, after Paul left the game when he made a girlfriend. Charles in turn is ostensibly working on his erotic fantasy novel which he hopes to be his big break but is hitting a creative dead end. Guillaume, meanwhile, has turned into a passive aggressive jerk whose sole goal is to finish the game, and he readily bullies Charles and Louis towards that goal. All three remaining player live in a home they rent together, and all occupy fairly dead end jobs.Adding further fuel to the fire is the return of Charles' sister Kim, who moved back from Belgium to Canada after an experience lead her to discover she might've always been a into girls. Charles offers her Paul's now vacant room, much to Guillaume's horror, and Louis' confusion as he harbors a long suppressed crush on Kim. Furthermore Kim wants Charles' help in helping her resolve a teenage crush she never acted on. Charles finds himself thorn between this loyalty to his friends, and his 18 year long campaign and a push by his sister and others to get his life together and act on his ambitions.The film was released on April 21, 2023. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Farador / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The original short is basically the segment with the Belgian boyfriend joining the game, with the entire story around this added for the movie. | |

| Farador / int_2b5ea43c | comment |
Bland-Name Product: "Wizards of the Realm" is clearly meant to be a stand in for D&D creator "Wizards of the Coast". | |

Horny Bard | |
| Farador / int_2f991ae2 | comment |
Horny Bard: Louis' second character plays hard into this trope. Kim plays along, saying if they were backstage at a concert she'd be giving his character a blowjob. The bard uses sex to get one of the three keys. | |

Transparent Closet: Kim gets told by a former classmate that everyone in high school knew she was into "theater girls". Kim notes it took her 18 years to figure that out. | |

Heel Realization | |
| Farador / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: When Kim and Paul (re)join the game to finish the campaign, Guillaume starts off his naturally hostile way, but as the group starts having fun - something they've not really had as a group in a long while, Guillaume starts to realize he's been an asshole all this time. This change is illustrated by him sacrificing his character to protect Paul, and give Kim the opportunity to take out Farador, having his character admit on his deathbed that he was being jealous of them finding happiness. | |

11th-Hour Ranger: Charles makes Kim join the game for the final session, to make up for her attempts to sabotage it. Louis is also allowed to make a new PC to finish the campaign. | |

Manchild | |
| Farador / int_e313b4e7 | comment |
Manchild: Charles, Guillaume and Louis to various degree. Guillaume is probably the worst as he has no aspirations or desires beyond watching anime, and finishing the campaign, and he's rabidly hostile to anyone who stands in the way of either, even if that's entirely his imagination. | |

| Farador / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Guillaume, who is passive aggressive to basically anyone around him, and tries to keep his friends "focused" on the game by manipulations, and trying to tank their chances at happiness. | |

Geeky Turn-On: Solange is the only person that doesn't find Charles idea of an erotic fantasy novel ridiculous, and is clearly into it. | |
