Fandible is an Actual Play roleplaying podcast.The franchise has also branched out into other media formats than audio, such as a JRPG-style computer game called Horatio's Story, about a man who's forced to fight an infestation in his own basement, and a YouTube channel called the Fanditube, currently featuring a video with an orky bedtime story: Goodnight Barsher.You can find the episodes here, or download them from iTunes.(This podcast should not be confused with the entry of the same name, found in the chapter on lexicraftology in the book "How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children", by Lewis B.

Badass Adorable | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_15da4941 | comment |
Badass Adorable: Penny (an occasional guest player) had a character in Planescape: Welcome to Sigil, a 4'8" tall magical spider-monkey with a jewel permanently embedded in her forehead, and adorable eyes. This monkey was also - wait for it... a monk. A Shaolin simian, if you will. And she was raised by a magical temple. Not the people who lived at the temple - the place was deserted - she was raised by the actual building. See? Magic. | |

Adorably Precocious Child | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_1d2605eb | comment |
Adorably Precocious Child: Tamara from The Shambling fits this to a T once she gets out of her shell and enjoys Christmas. Most of the kids from Billy's games are this to a degree. Which makes it all the more heartrending when a girl loses her brother, or children from Congealed Happiness end up dead. Billy is NOT afraid to kill off people; children just end up as casualties as well. | |

Fantastic Drug | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_2cd22076 | comment |
Fantastic Drug: Applies in every sense of the term, when referring to "hizzy", an imaginary (and wonderful) drug, introduced in David's Shadowrun game. It's main effect? It affects the user's mind, making them believe that they're a violent vigilante hero, driving around town really fast in souped-up armored vehicles, fighting crime and shouting at random people. And who wouldn't want to be that? (But seriously, kids: drugs are bad.) | |

Mad Scientist: Jesus is a big fan of science, especially the kind that goes Boom!, or Zap!, or Skree-ow! Thus, plenty of his games feature NPCs with such proclivities. Several of the PCs fit this role, as well. Dr. Charles Israel, Daniel's character in Unhallowed Metropolis. Dr. Franklin Strauss (played by Jesus), from the Hollow Earth Expedition campaign. Most of the characters from their Atomic Robo RPG beta playtest, The Deadliest Topping. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_38119dcf | comment |
Not the Fall That Kills You…: Grannek, dwarf shaman of the Honey Badger (played by Jesus), invented a new form of parachute when he tried to escape a skyscraper by leaping out of a window on the hundred-and-umpteenth floor. Well, maybe not a parachute, per se; it was more like an improvised cushion - made out of a Cactus Elemental he'd conjured out of some potted plants, earlier. (He might not have learned to fly, but at least his insurance premiums went up, up and away.) | |

Blessed with Suck: David, one of the players, is notorious for keeping the fumbles and Nat 1s coming, hard and fast. (Beware, kids: Do not let this man touch your polyhedrals!) Fandible has only played a single session of Only War, but the players rolled enough 99s to last an entire year-long campaign. | |

Nay-Theist: Ree the Samsaran Summoner, played by Daniel in Planescape: Welcome to Sigil. Works as a tour guide in his native city, Sigil. Morally flexible atheist. Technically, he doesn't deny the existence of the gods (after all, the evidence is quite overwhelming, what with all the actual gods walking around). It's more a case of believing that the gods are super-powerful jerkwads who aren't worth believing in. | |

Stalking Is Love: Shortly after the Fandible Tropes page (i.e. what you're reading, right now) was created, someone (or possibly many someones) from Fandible posted a blog post, expressing the Fandiblers' appreciation for their fans, and the efforts that said aforementioned fans put into fandomming. Fandifanning. Whatever: that they put into being fans. Later on, they've also discussed the TV Tropes page (i.e. this) in Geeky Topics, Round Table episode 13, and mentioned how it totally wasn't creepy, nope. Nooot creepy at all. | |

Freaky Is Cool | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_50488b6e | comment |
Freaky Is Cool: David tends to gravitate toward a certain type of characters, e.g. emo goth man-children who smile a lot, or heavily body-modded Satanists wearing naught but spiked leather adult diapers under their billowing trenchcoats. Examples include: Jerome Clay, God of Remorse and Regret from Part-Time Gods. He literally feeds on human suffering, lives in a dilapidated old mansion, and had no qualms about using some of his emotionally damaged female parishioners as "payment" to Chad (the God of Nerds) for his assistance. Trevor Söze from the Dresden Files RPG Christmas Special. He's got ominous tattoos, piercings in his everything, and a shaved head. Oh, and he's a sorcerer who dabbles much too heavily in diabolism. Tsaviel, a Tiefling Witch (male) who worships K'thuun, the dread (and dead) God of Disease and Malfunction. Appears in Planescape: Welcome to Sigil. Tsaviel has pale blue skin, a greasy rat's nest of long tentacular dreadlocks, and an outfit that would make a male stripper blush. His eyes are blueish-white (with no pupils, but with a look of manic interest), his teeth are yellow with jaundice, and his skin is covered with constantly dying-and-regenerating throbbing black veins. Oh, and he's got pierced ears. And his familiar is a terrier-sized scorpion named Makai. Is it really necessary to mention Tsaviel's ability to vomit his own entrails onto potential food items - or enemies - and slurp the whole mess back up for later digestion, like he's a giant house fly? Raz K'thüün. (And yes, that's the same name he used last week, except with added umlauts. Because it's more metal, that way.) Planeswalker from Magic: The Gathering — The Savage Green. Favors a red/black deck, i.e. he's a wielder of "death energies and overwhelming destruction". (Cue guitar riff.) He's known on his native plane as "The Merchant of Death" (and may presumably have some slight resemblance to Nicolas Cage). Actually, his physical appearance is... well, quite similar to his Planescape: colleague, Tsaviel, except somewhat less Smurf-colored. Most of the other characters in Rogue Trader have learned to give a wide berth to Quantus the Tech Priest, especially if they're carrying exotic-looking yet innocent - some might say: virginal - gadgets. (See the entries for Fantastic Arousal and Power Perversion Potential for more of the salubrious details.) One of the running gags in Hollow Earth Expedition involves David's character, Zap MacGuffin, and his alleged habit of carving off people's faces and wearing them like a mask. Mr. Smiley, a major NPC from David's Shadowrun game, is a corporate spokesperson blessed with a fixed grin, an endearing laughter, and a total moral vacuum in the benighted pit where a normal person would have a soul - or at least have a tendency to hesitate before plunging head-first into murder, hiring people to commit murder, or generally just stabbing people in the back if they're in his way. Sploosh, David's Tetsuashan character from Bulldogs: Machinations of Murderbot. Resident doctor. People seem to find him irresistibly alluring for some reason, although he remains completely clueless about their odd behaviour. | |

You Are Fat: Fandible is known for maintaining a constant level of sophistication in its levity.

Jerry, played by Daniel in The End of the World. Just...everything about Jerry. | |

Implacable Man: Glory Hog, the alien motorbike driving zombie rocker from Rotted Capes. In the first episode alone, he survived an explosion, chased the PCs through the sewers, survived a water tank falling on him from a ten story building, and just wouldn't stop chasing them. | |

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_75987da9 | comment |
Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits: In most Billyverse games, but due to the episodic nature and well defined characters in The Shambling, the PCs end up being a lot like this. A stunt double, a rich kid, a petty God loving thief, a construction worker, and a Romanian circus animal tamer and his monkey have never looked so close. | |

Potty Failure: Cottar "Teeny" Gamwich (Ratling sniper, chef, and resident butt-of-all-jokes, played by Daniel) cooked (and served) a batch of poisonous space tubers in Only War. Almost the entire group of hardened guerilla soldiers ended up needing a change of pants. In his defense, Teeny didn't intend for them to get explosive diarrhea, and he'd even warned them that he'd only managed to get most of the poison out of the tubers. | |

Bears Are Bad News | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_8d718b9e | comment |
A plant creature that, like the ink monster, feeds off humans, but does so...by abducting drivers, putting them on Pseudo life support, and having them relive a single day over and over again. The weird part? The day it chooses to relive is incredibly stereotypically eighties, and its methods of killing people who go off its script include: Having copies of the people kill each other, having the camp counselors quarantine campers faking sickness by blowing them up with propane, dumping oysters in peoples heads, and having people run at bears playing music at the highest volume. | |

Five-Man Band | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_92587498 | comment |
Five-Man Band: The Fandible lineup usually consists of five people, with an occasional session where one or more players are indisposed, or sessions featuring guest stars. The players all take turns GMing, in different games. The five core members of the group are (in alphabetical order): Angela: The literature nerd. Married to Billy. Billy: The nerd who loves doing accents. Married to Angela. Daniel: The tech/computer nerd. David: The Oirish nerd who aren't allowed to touch other people's dice. Jesus: (No, not that guy. It's pronounced "Hay-Soos".) The nerd who loves t-shirts with hilarious pop cultural references. Besides the five official Fandimembers, Fandible also features an officially unofficial sixth member: the Fanditoaster. No, it's not a person, it's a toaster. Donated by one of their fans, actually. They love it like a child. A shiny metal child that cooks lunch, and hardly ever keeps you up at night with its loud screaming. Oh, and then there's Penny, who sometimes joins the games, and has made several drawings and character portraits for the group, which can be seen on the site's Tumblr. She's still outranked by the Fanditoaster, though, because the toaster's got more fans. Every time they do a popularity poll, the Fanditoaster keeps popping up. | |

Time Travel | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_9d6427ec | comment |
Time Travel: During the Rogue Trader episode Ascended Evil, the crew of the Shadow Labyrinth accidentally travelled through time due to a mishap in the Warp. This led to several sharp remarks, such as Quantos pondering (upon their return to their own timeline) that, since they were back in their own present day, and that time was the grim darkness of the far future, this must mean that they had, in fact, gone Back to the Future. When people mentioned their reluctance to risk further temporal peccadilloes, Billy asked if they were chicken. Oh, and during their time warp, they picked up an Eldar Farseer, and since Jésus needed to come up with a name on the spot is amazingly clever, he named the Eldar Tanniyen. (Presumably, his full name must have been Biff Tanniyen.) | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: In most of Billy's NWOD specials, there are subtle callbacks to his older stories. For example, the Christmas special took place next to Founders' Falls (Which was, in an earlier story, a small town) and the Honeybranch song from camp Honeybranch is referenced in the beginning of the special. It's also not that odd to hear very similar names in-universe. Out of universe, Billy also often stumbles when making new characters, and has almost named someone Allison and Susanna, the former a prominent NPC in his first special, and the later the name of his wife's character in the Founder's Day campaign. Stored Gods is FULL of this trope. Characters from previous stories show up, and the entire auction covers goods from Founder's Heights. It may as well be called Congealed Happiness 2: Not only does the Ink Monster show up again to kill people, his minion of choice is April Bwire from Pure Wax, who met her at the end after the wax monster fiasco, and they even run into Frances, one of the main three characters from Congealed Happiness. The story makes a point to mention previous stories at least once; Peggy mentions His Holy Light University by name, the story takes place in the same state camp Honeybranch was, etc. | |

The character was heavily inspired by the movie Kazaam. When Clarence was a little boy, he found a magic lamp with a genie in it. His first wish was for "candy!", and the genie's powers delivered a candy store. Ever since, he's put tremendous effort into trying to get rid of the candy store, which he's come to loathe and hate. Amusingly, his struggles only serve to make his candy empire grow even more vast. | |

Nerd in Evil's Helmet: Big Louie, a mob boss in Fiasco (portrayed by Billy). Technically, he's not a nerd, he just... happens to be very knowledgeable about certain things. Actually, it's his accountant, Stanley (played by Jesus), who's the real champion at Magic: The Gathering and Settlers of Catan. When Big Louie needs to put the thumbscrews on people who owe him favors, he lets Stanley do the dirty work. Not because Stanley is intimidating, but none of the other goombahs had time. So yeah, if you upset Big Louie, prepare to be trampled. And if Big Louie accidentally mistakes "plains" for "planes", and ends up inadvertently making a joke about 9/11? Well, that just proves that Big Louie ain't no book-luvin' four-eyes, see? Ahem. | |

Rule 63: Has been invoked occasionally. Angela's character in Agents of Indigo was a gender-bent guy, who'd basically suffered an unusual work hazard and been transformed into a woman. He/she was very impressed with his/her new attributes. Commissar Zane Harper (David's character in Only War) was one of the pre-generated characters that was supplied with the introductory scenario, Eleventh Hour. However, the Commissar was originally (i.e. in the scenario description) a woman called Zara Harper, but was gender-bent because: reasons. | |

In Billy's story of Buried Memories, the plot revolves around four unconnected people seeing incredibly weird things in a retreat and being unable to sleep. Turns out, they aren't as unconnected as it seems. It ends up being a murder plot where two lesbian lovers had their entire lives ruined by these four people; Miranda, the NPC sister of Daniel's character did a delivery he was supposed to do but didn't while drunk. When Miranda was coming back, David's character, a drunkard actor, ran her over, and was too wasted to do anything. When she finally got help, Jesus' character, a doctor, froze up during the surgery due to PTSD, costing Miranda valuable time and causing her to die when the replacement doctor was too late. The other lesbian lover, an NPC named Cynthia, was broken by Miranda's death, and tried to find a way to help herself survive. She ended up working under Angela's character, a business woman with medical anger problems who was aspiring to become CEO, a promotion not too far off. However, Angela's character overworked Cynthia and ended up exploding and throwing a coffee mug at her, which, combined with the recent passing of Miranda, drove her over the edge and caused her to commit suicide. | |

Our Monsters Are Weird | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_d42fb539 | comment |
Our Monsters Are Weird: Yup. Man-Eagles. (Insert obligatory eagle noise.) Sometimes, though not always, used as a racial slur. Mermaids. Specifically the ones in Shadowrun, whose alluring singing is best avoided. (Although they technically aren't unique to Fandible, since they're part of the official published game setting. The game designers probably didn't expect any of the players to weaponize the mermaids' mating call, though...) Pedophile kobolds. Those scumbags deserve to die, so it's perfectly okay to go on a murder spree, so long as you can convince yourself afterwards that the victims were all pedo-'bolds. The end-of-session boss fight in the Atomic Robo game, The Deadliest Topping, featured a triceratops fungus monster that had been spawned by a scientifically enhanced mushroom pizza. An Ink Monster that is the Billyverses answer to the Fae, a tall, lanky, memory eating ink beast that has fun toying with prey, enjoys watching carnage caused by the equally weird wax monsters, and, despite having a god complex, has a nasty allergy to iron. Oh, and it goes between acting like an adult and a small child. Reflections, also from the Billyverse; copies of the real world that don't make sense and feel the best way to explain things to people is by using Star Wars analogies in deadpan, and one has such a hard time fitting in with the real world she dresses like a goth...in a Christian University, where she sticks out like a sour thumb. A plant creature that, like the ink monster, feeds off humans, but does so...by abducting drivers, putting them on Pseudo life support, and having them relive a single day over and over again. The weird part? The day it chooses to relive is incredibly stereotypically eighties, and its methods of killing people who go off its script include: Having copies of the people kill each other, having the camp counselors quarantine campers faking sickness by blowing them up with propane, dumping oysters in peoples heads, and having people run at bears playing music at the highest volume. | |

Wonder Twin Powers | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_d45cbb16 | comment |
Wonder Twin Powers: Torchlight, Billy's character in Rotted Capes. Used to be part of a pair of power twins, until his sister got bitten by zombies. Now, she wants to bite him, so they can both be super zombies, and restore their twin powers. His fire powers are fueled by alcohol. He's got it under control, honestly! | |

| Fandible (Podcast) / int_dae5c997 | comment |
Action Girl: Angela's characters tend to belong in this category, although - unlike certain other members of this trope - they usually exhibit exactly zero percent gratuituous cleavage, talkativity, or mercy. Examples include: Jene Rodriguez, Catachan heavy gunner from Only War. Moira Clayton née Hepburn from Unhallowed Metropolis. Natasevya from Rogue Trader. | |

Red Ones Go Faster | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_e17191aa | comment |
Red Ones Go Faster: Barsha D. Barsha believes ("loik all roit-finkin' Orks") that a red paint job will, in fact, make your ship go faster. Thanks to the power of the Waaagh!, this is sometimes the case. | |

Musical Episode | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_e1f59bf0 | comment |
Musical Episode: Although Fandible has never had a real musical episode, many (if not most) episodes feature situations where one of the players spontaneously burst into song: Barsha D. Barsha (Billy's character) was turned into a human in one of the Rogue Trader episodes, and when one of the players commented that Barsha's human voice sounded like Disney's Aladdin, Billy promptly started singing Aladdin's songs, but with lyrics appropriate to the scene. The fourth Unhallowed Metropolis episode, Life's Masquerade, featured a scene where the character Penny Black (played by the guest star, Penny) was turned into a proper lady, My Fair Lady-style. This prompted everyone to burst into song, crooning: "She's a lady! Whoa, whoa, whoa!" (Although they could only sing a few bars - not because they'd forgotten the rest of the lyrics, but uh... copyright reasons. Yeah.) Unhallowed Metropolis: The Strange Dead featured a scene where Lord Byron (played by Billy) displayed his usual routine for getting into an argument with his mother: after she'd berated him thoroughly, he staggered off into his room to smoke opium and bawl "Pooouuur sooome suuugaaar oooon meeeee!", loudly. When the party tried to con another group of soldiers into relinquishing their helicopter in the Only War game, the players emphasized their ability to bluff and swindle people by operatically singing all their deceitful, deceitful lies. | |

Drugs Are Good | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_f0f69743 | comment |
Drugs Are Good: Lucas Charam, Daniel's character in the Supernatural game session, Paint The Town Dead, enjoys chain smoking doobies. His addiction is not quite so bad that he's unable to function normally, but his self-prescribed medicinal ganja lands the team in hot water occasionally - for example, when he starts hotboxing in the Haverford city morgue, with the locals cops waiting outside. He hates the Reagan era's D.A.R.E program, because he thinks the acronym stands for "Drugs Are Really Expensive". | |

Running Gag | |
| Fandible (Podcast) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The End of the World episodes are rife with these, played to great effect. Since Angela never tells the group which apocalypse they will be playing, they also serve to help reveal the scenario. The session always begins with the group meeting for a drunken poker game, where the same characters are always introduced with the same quirks, but with different low-end jobs or deadbeat lifestyles. The group always travels to Sammy's Bodega to get more beer, during which they notice some hint of what sort of apocalypse they will be encountering. Sammy is always "played" by a B-list actor/actress. The apocalypse always happens while the group is getting drunk out of their minds, smoking powerful weed, and destroying the apartment they are in. The group often (but not always) travels to White Castle during the apocalypse to nurse their hangovers. The White Castle often has something nefarious inside... not counting the food. Stealing different terrible, uncool vehicles to escape New York and nearly getting killed in the process. All the while, there is a competition for survival between the shabby bachelors they play and the much more successful, stable, and morally upstanding bachelorettes next door. | |
