Homerooms & Hall Passes is a 2019 middle-grade novel by Tom O'Donnell. It tells the story of five young adventurers living in the world of BrÃandalör. They make their living Dungeon Crawling, but between adventures they unwind by playing a Slice of Life Tabletop RPG about middle-school students having non-adventures in a world of mundanity suspiciously like our own.When a curse sends them hurtling into the game universe, the adventurers are forced to step into their characters' shoes, navigating classwork and middle school drama while knowing that, according to the rules of the game, failure or expulsion is tantamount to death. Not to mention that they've brought a dangerous artifact with them from BrÃandalör... | |

| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_127027b1 | comment |
Shop Fodder: In the opening chapter Devis acquires a ring of turtle speech, which he views as this. Later, he gets a very good price for it when he trades it to turtle-loving Waldo Franks in order to get back a rare action figure that Franks was otherwise unwilling to part with. | |

Our Elves Are Different: Sorrowshade is a gloom elf—a darkness-themed race with superior senses and a soul "closer to the weave of magic." Played with a little in the sequel, where (as Melissa) she makes cookies shaped like Christmas Elves. | |

Dean Bitterman | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_351e0e53 | comment |
Vice Principal Flanagan is presented as a straightforward Dean Bitterman. His entry in The Album of Academic Administration goes so far as to call him "[u]niversally loathed (even among faculty)." He's definitely a stickler for rules, and he creates meaningful obstacles for the adventurers. But he has a few too many humanizing moments for the "uncompromising hardass" characterization to ring true.note In particular, he gives "Armando" extra time to get his paperwork together after the new student appeals to Flanagan's background as a rootless military brat. | |

Black Speech: The Malonomicon contains spells in at least two tongue-twisting, sinister languages. Shadownese is "the primordial language of darkness" and is spoken by gloom elves; Fiendish is the language of demons. | |

Foreign Exchange Student | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_58810b49 | comment |
Albiorix calls himself a Foreign Exchange Student, but the portrayal is closer to this trope. His "foreignness" is downplayed from two directions: In-Masquerade, he passes himself off as an anglophone Canadian, and on a meta level, his Hall Master experience and materials give him near-native level knowledge of Suburbia. He is still a new student, with no friends except his own adventuring party, and must overcome hurdles even to get officially enrolled. | |

Improbable Weapon User: After losing their usual weapons, the adventurers visit a sporting goods store for substitutes.note These vary in similarity: archery equipment gets replaced with archery equipment, but a collection of daggers gets replaced with skate blades. Later, one of the party permanently adopts the substitute weapon they acquired this way. | |

| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_6e70b12b | comment |
Nominal Importance: An interesting case involving I Call It "Vera". Thromdurr's ancestral war hammer, Bonecrusher, is lost before a major confrontation. He replaces it with a croquet mallet, which he christens "Bonecrusher II." He later acquires a new war hammer, but doesn't give this one a name. He finds it difficult to adjust to the new hammer, so he goes back to using Bonecrusher II again. | |

Real Joke Name | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_6f0966ad | comment |
Real Joke Name: Stinky's parents, who are both also called Stinky. Devis named them that as a throwaway joke, but after entering the game world he discovers that there's a perfectly reasonable in-universe explanation for it.specificsIn Mom Stinky's case, it's a nickname for Christina. In Dad Stinky's case, it's short for Stinkhauser, an old family name which serves as his first name. And Kid Stinky is Stinkhauser Jr. | |

Gretzky Has the Ball: Albiorix claims to be a hockey player—and almost spoils the charade when he talks about doing "amazing hockey stuff on the hockey court with my hockey bat." | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Sorrowshade delivers one after realizing one of her former allies can't be reasoned with. Since Sorrowshade is a dark grey Anti-Hero, the speech also has a practical purpose: she first points out Nicole's insecurity, then blackmails her with it. | |

I Know Mortal Kombat: Subverted and lampshaded. Computer skills are just about universal among H&H characters.

Melissa is supposed to be a Creepy Loner Girl; her character sheet indicates she is interested in horror movies, death metal, and taxidermy. But we never see this in action. In the gaming session at the beginning of the book, the other students each have a colorful Establishing Character Moment while Melissa just sits quietly at her desk. And after the adventurers are sucked into the game world, Sorrowshade quickly develops interests that are at odds with Melissa's reputation. | |

Media Transmigration: This is probably the trope that best covers the premise of this book, as four of the five adventurers take on the names, backgrounds, and responsibilities of their characters in the game world. Albiorix, however, is a simple case of Trapped in Another World; since he was the Hall Master rather than a player, he doesn't have an established character and has to make up his identity as he goes. | |

Informed Attribute: Vice Principal Flanagan is presented as a straightforward Dean Bitterman. His entry in The Album of Academic Administration goes so far as to call him "[u]niversally loathed (even among faculty)." He's definitely a stickler for rules, and he creates meaningful obstacles for the adventurers. But he has a few too many humanizing moments for the "uncompromising hardass" characterization to ring true.note In particular, he gives "Armando" extra time to get his paperwork together after the new student appeals to Flanagan's background as a rootless military brat. Melissa is supposed to be a Creepy Loner Girl; her character sheet indicates she is interested in horror movies, death metal, and taxidermy. But we never see this in action. In the gaming session at the beginning of the book, the other students each have a colorful Establishing Character Moment while Melissa just sits quietly at her desk.

Azathor the Devourer, being an enormous demon and all, speaks exclusively in capital letters. This turns his interactions with Thromdurr into Ham-to-Ham Combat. | |

Fictional Board Game | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_eb4f0f1e | comment |
Fictional Board Game: Melissa's family plays a Settlers of Catan-like game. In the sequel, Albiorix develops a complicated abstract board game called Octagons. Nobody else wants to play it. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Albiorix's master, Velaxis, who hasn't been heard from since the beginning of the book, swoops in to save the party after an encounter with evil goes sideways. She makes it very clear that the rescue is a one-time thing. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Albiorix is able to produce unlimited coins (one at a time) by pulling them out of a pocket dimension. Luckily, they work in the school's vending machines. | |

NO INDOOR VOICE | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_f15c2859 | comment |
No Indoor Voice: Thromdurr seems to declaim most of his lines, and occasionally breaks into ALL CAPS. Azathor the Devourer, being an enormous demon and all, speaks exclusively in capital letters. This turns his interactions with Thromdurr into Ham-to-Ham Combat. | |

Great Big Book of Everything | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_f217cdab | comment |
Great Big Book of Everything: Albiorix's library of Homerooms & Hall Passes sourcebooks, containing information about virtually every character and setting the adventurers are likely to encounter in Suburbia. Downplayed (it's 27 volumes, not one big book) and justified (Suburbia is an RPG setting, and the books were written with a Hall Master's needs in mind). | |

Insult Backfire | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_f6f2ff1 | comment |
Insult Backfire: Waldo Franks calls Thromdurr a "barbarian," meaning it simply as an insult. Thromdurr, who actually is a Barbarian Hero, wonders how Waldo could have guessed. | |

The Roleplayer | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_f7a31863 | comment |
The Roleplayer: Subverted. In the gaming session at the beginning of the book, Vela asks what an NPC is wearing . . . so she can strategically compliment them and improve her chances on a future assignment. (Then again, this maneuver is in character.) | |

The Real Man | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_f91724d0 | comment |
The Real Man: Parodied. Thromdurr embodies this player archetype while playing a Nerd, treating intellectual challenges as the narrative and rhetorical equivalent of mighty battles. | |

Canadian Equals Hockey Fan | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_fb2eae9 | comment |
Canadian Equals Hockey Fan: Played with. Albiorix (as "Armando Boort") claims to be from Canada and to be a hockey player, but these two character details have different, unrelated origins: The Canadian background was randomly rolled, and the hockey was an attempt to gain sympathy by appealing to another character's interest in the sport. | |

Honest Rolls Character | |
| Homerooms & Hall Passes / int_fc23757 | comment |
Honest Rolls Character: Variant; stuck in the game world without an established identity, Armando rolls up a background for himself using tables meant for generating NPCs. He gets unlucky with the namenote "Armando Boort," which everyone can agree sounds fake but lucky with the backgroundnote he's from Canada, which is just foreign enough that people are willing to overlook his eccentricities, and once these facts are established he never deviates from them. | |

Evil Is Petty: Azathor the Devourer is willing to honor his deal with the adventurers—but giving back the phone Devis lent him wasn't part of the deal, was it? | |
