Fratboy of the Week: The Outsider
As the old saying goes, “birds of a feather flock together,” so it’s not surprising that most members of a fraternity usually have very similar demographics. Some fraternities are primarily jocks, some fraternities tend to recruit members of a particular race, and some fraternities are made up entirely of rednecks who apparently missed the…
Fratboy of the Week: The Ringleader
The ringleader is the fraternity brother that everyone else looks to for direction and leadership, despite the fact that he rarely holds any official position of authority in the frat. Whether the members are deciding who to accept as pledges or what the theme of Friday’s party will be, the ringleader often has considerable…
Wednesday WWPHITM? Tank Girl Reborn
Since 4 out of every 5 movies these days is a remake or adaptation, I’ve got this fantasy that one day somebody in Hollywood will give Diablo Cody a bunch of money to make a new Tank Girl movie. Below are my picks for Team Tank. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
Fratboy of the Week: The Big Man On Campus
The big man on campus (BMOC) is a student who is known and liked (or at least envied) by just about everyone on campus, including members of the faculty and staff. The BMOC’s popularity may be due to his athletic skill, good looks, or his position in an important organization or clique. Some BMOC’s even…
Wednesday WWPHITM?: Preacher
That’s right, it’s time for another installment of WWPHITM? This time around, we’re going to cast the Preacher comic book series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. While it might be possible to do it as a movie, I think this is best suited for an HBO style series. Since there are so many storylines…
Fratboy of the Week: The Nerd
In order to avoid double-secret academic probation, every fraternity has to maintain a minimum grade point average. In order to keep the frat’s GPA up to that minimum without cutting into time that could be spent getting wasted, some frats make sure there are at least a few nerds in every pledge class. In…
Fratboy of the Week: The Jock
The jock is usually portrayed as a big, dumb, walking pile of testosterone. Although some jocks are capable of higher thought, these often disguise whatever mental abilities they have with over-the-top machismo and copious application of alcohol. The jock’s status on campus is directly related to his athletic ability, with star athletes receiving special…
Fratboy of the Week: The Party Animal
I’m going to take a break from the general archetypes for a while and focus on archetypes for Fratboys Vs., a game we’ve had on the back burner for quite a while. If you’ve been to a convention where Hex has run games in the past six or seven years, you’ve probably played in or…
The Crusader
As the name implies, the crusader is out to further some cause that he believes in–ending crime, converting the infidels, saving the environment, killing a huge fucking shark, whatever. The crusader rarely acts out of pure altruism; he has personal reasons for doing what he does and is not necessarily interested in doing good…
