Sic Semper in TVTropes


Sic Semper is an RPG campaign pretending to be a low-budget science fiction TV series. It premiered in fall 2009 and is currently in its third season.

It's about four people from year 2009 stuck in a prison colony called Coventry ... no.

It's about escaping a multidimensional prison colony ... not that either.

It's about a larger than usual Ragged Bunch of Misfits from Alternate Universes, trying to find their way home while fighting an overpowering interdimensional corporation which has imprisoned them for reasons of its own.

That is, until it becomes something else again.



This series provides examples of

Actual Pacifist: Ayela. She has gone as far as threaten Gao Chun with a gun, but it's uncertain if she'd ever have fired.

Anyone Can Die: For a series that started out with very little violence, the body count sure has gone up since the end of Season 1. Now they're even killing off main characters, who knows where it will end?

Camp Gay: Walter Huggel, whiny hairdresser

Chessmaster: Everything that happens, happens because Mizida has planned it to happen. Except maybe not managing to be on the first conveyor off Coventry, and seeing how season 3 is turning out so far, maybe even that.

Complete Monster: Tukulti-Ninib is implied to be this.

Did Not Do The Research: Happens occasionally. Do not watch this for advice on how to act when shipwrecked or make bombs.

Flashback: Common in Season 1, not so common any more.

Hide Your Children: Coventry had no children at all, since the people in it had been sterilized. Starting from season 3, we have seen some children.

Jumping The Shark: Attempting an aversion. The producer has claimed that he hopes to make every season so completely different from the previous one that people who cannot abide change will just stop watching.

The Multiverse: All the parallel realities. So far we've only seen a few, but several dozen have been mentioned.

Status Quo Is God: Averted hard. Everything is subject to change.

Wrench Wench: Clavia

Xanatos Speed Chess: Leonid turned out to be a master of this. Too bad he and Mizida never had a real contest, except for a brief moment in season 1.
