"Some of the genres top fantasy authors gather an epic debate/cage-match about all the overused (and underused) fantasy tropes/cliches: orphan farm boys with a destiny, plucky princesses, dark lords, wizard schools, prophecies of doom, quests and fellowships, talking animals, ninja-like elves, ninja-like assassins in dark cloaks, magic talismans that save the world, this magic systems, that magic system, MAGIC SYSTEMS!
