A **Standing on a Cliff** moment presents a hero, or group of heroes, pausing on their adventure atop some kind of high vantage point. Typically a cliff or mountain top, but sometimes a skyscraper, or other such place. Usually this occurs at the beginning, or beginning phase, of a game where the hero/es take a moment to consider the journey ahead; or at the end, when they [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AboveTheRuins|look upon the final fortress collapsing in the distance]]. | ||
