Re: Over 9000 things I am no longer permitted to do in an RPG

273. I will no longer shout "OOKLA! RIDE!" anytime we mount up and head out.

274. I will not say "By Castle Greyskull, I ...HAVE...THE....POWER!" any time I pull out a magic sword.

274. Subsection B. I am also not permitted to say "By the power of Jaga... Sword of Omens, come to my hand. I, Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, command it!" unless I am specifically playing Lion-O, Lord of the Thundercats, which I will not be as My GM is sick and tired of this reference.

275. I will not be permitted to say "YO JOE!" just before the GM leaves the gaming table to go to the bathroom as if we are having a commercial break.

276. If the GM tells me a new rule, I will not immediately follow with "And knowing is half the battle!" in a derisive and mocking tone.

Re: Over 9000 things I am no longer permitted to do in an RPG

277. As a GM I am not allowed to employ farting kobolds against the party ever again.
278. As a GM, I will not place cthuloid tentacle faced demons in a dungeon, then wiggle my fingers in front of my mouth going "bluhbluhbluhbluh!" when the demons appear.
279. As a GM, I will not create entire dungeons who's only real purpose is to build up to a really really bad pun at the last room.
280. Nor will I ever again create a dungeon which forces the PC(and thus the players) to speak only in rhyme while inside. It was cute once, it will not be so again.
281. Yes the GM CAN be told what he may and may not do in an RPG by a player. At least when said player is the GM's wife.

282. Also, I will not introduce a talking gecko into any game ever, as a GM or player, who asks random passerby if they would like to save up to 15% on thier horse insurance.

283. Snorting pixies is just wrong.
284. Whatever the situation is, it will not be solved by ferret legging
285. Or badger legging
286. Mustelids and legs in general is usually a bad mix.

Why in the world not? Ah well, there's always farting gnomes and goblins!

287. I will not force players to let the cat roll the dice.
288. I will not forget the sound effects for farting kobolds or gnomes, realism all the way.
289. When playing feline PCs, I will not purr at every other player just to get more of the food.

228. There is no such thing as a "Vorpal" AK-47.


Oh wow... Vorpal AK-47... I wish that existed!

290. I will no longer make a Jedi/pyrokinetic character and focus on her pyrokinetic abilities so my character will be more useful.
291. I will not try to kill the talking spider that gives us a riddle to help us figure out the dungeon.
292. Do not trust a pair of drunken dwarves down in a deep, dark dungeon.
293. I will no longer get myself awesome items for a sorceress character when I have a GM that loves making a complicated, riddle-filled, item-losing campaign.

All of these come from actual experience...

Re: Over 9000 things I am no longer permitted to do in an RPG

294. I am not to bring extra pink and multi-colored dice and call them 'fruity loaner dice' in an all-male gaming group.
295.1 When playing a bard, I am not to sing eighties pop songs to inspire courage/confidence.
295.2 When playing a bard, I am not to sing sixties hippie rock songs to inspire courage/confidence.
295.3 When playing a bard, I am not to sing bad gothic rock songs to inspire courage/confidence.
295.4 When playing a bard, I am not to sing dirges to inspire courage/confidence.
295.5 When playing a bard, I am not to sing Weird Al Yankovich songs to inspire courage/confidence.
295.6 When playing a bard, I am not to sing sacred music to inspire courage/confidence.
295.7 Despite having a good voice, I am no longer allowed to sing when playing a bard due to my bad taste in music.
295.8 When playing a bard, I am not to use a MP3 player to play the songs that I am no longer allowed to sing.
295.9 From this point forwards, the GM shall choose the music that my bard sings to inspire courage/confidence.
296. I am no longer allowed to create character concepts because I am dared to do so.
297. I am no longer allowed to create character concepts specifically to peeve other PCs/the GM.
298. I am no longer allowed to come into game without a character concept and convince the GM to let me play a plot piece.
299. I am no longer allowed to convince the entire campaign to come into game with a team of siblings with names starting in the same letter and/or rhyming with another name just to confuse the GM.
300. I am no longer allowed to be a third member in a set of twins.
301. I am no longer permitted to play a character who gets into a relationship with the only other female gamer in the group, as it tends to upset the guys.
302. When informed that it is not believed that I can play a certain type of character, I should not create a character simply to prove them wrong.
303. Specifically, when told that I cannot create a frightening character, I should not create a sociopathic cleric on the verge of becoming a serial killer.
304. When told that I cannot play a lawful character, I should not bring in a fighter who was too lawful to be allowed to be a paladin.
305. When playing a lawful character, I may not restrain, arrest, and slowly pick off the rest of the PCs.
306. When playing a chaotic character with my gaming group, I must now justify my chaotic actions and they must make some logical sense.
307. When asked to play in a 'god game', I am from here on out expected to play a goddess, not a perfectly normal four-year-old. That concept is too powerful in such a setting.

308. I can not argue the nick name Inebriation for my paladin when his name is Niever Brochin
309. Hellarmis can not protest the nick name Alarmist.
310. Almighty curiosity is not a power of persuasion.
311. Becoming a Saint is not optional when the GM decrees you are one with a following.
312. Follows are not cannon fodder.
313. All hallows, April fools and other holidays are not to be used as excuses for scaring other players for fun.

What about Never Broken? :-) Maybe they'll accept that.

314. It does not matter if I'm the GM or not. Cows and pigs do not fly in Faerun.
315. Or Greyhawk.
316. Or Eberron.
317. Or anywhere else but an Alice in Wonderland setting.
318. Whales or petunias dropping out of the sky are not a good godly intervention method. For reasons I do not understand...

344: Poking sticks are not required to perform Commune with God spells when the God is a party member...

Lady_Death:
101: I will not make fun of the paladin whose int is so low he can not speak unless mounted on his horse. Who has an int higher than he does.


345: I will encourage players to trade away their ability to speak except when mounted on their horse ever again.
346: I will not abuse the low intelligence scores of my fellow players.
347: I will not profit by running bets against fellow party members.
348: I will not let party members die, then collect the bets, then go finish the job myself without at least ensuring I have made enough profit to provide for their resurrection first.

For a friend

349. I must not create similar characters, while claiming them to be different, and if I do so, I must realise why everyone wants them dead and preferably in pieces.

and for me
350. I must not demand a Webley that shoots magic jam, especially when the weapon is anachronistic.
351. I must not design items specifically to screw over particular characters, as I know the item types they collect. Even if the GM has asked for magic items without being specific.
