An article in this index will be about these things:

Gameplay mechanics — including mechanics borrowed from Tabletop Games.

Characterization and setting tropes specific to game characters and settings.

Setting tropes that aren't necessarily specific to games but are used in games to the degree they are pretty much stock elements, or without which many games would be unrecognizable/unplayable.

NOTE: Please do not add tropes to this index if they can instead be put in one of the subcategories below.
