654. I will not enslave entire townships and use them to manufacture large weapons

655. I will not become the embodiment of all fire in existence just because I found a loop hole to use a spell to do it

656:  I will carefully consider just how much frustration I want to cause the GM before I figure out some way to turn the cursed item he just burdened me with into something that will work to my advantage...(I'm probably going to do it anyway, I'll just think about how much it's going to irritate the GM first...(

657. I am no longer allowed to use my "scary voice" for an evil character. No, seriously. Stop laughing like that.
658. As an alternative to my scary voice, I'm not allowed to talk like O'Malley out of Red vs Blue when portraying my evil characters.

659 - I am no longer allowed to kill players who have stopped posting.  Their characters are, however, still fair game.

You are a very scary person. So scary, in fact, that I have completely forgotten the next thing I'm no longer permitted to do.

No! Mr. Fuzzy!

661. I am no longer allowed to use a "brain-damaged" trait to justify non-sequiturs.

662. I am no longer allowed to play a Troll with a maxed out Body Stat. an Essence of 1 through cyberwear, and an assault cannon. He cannot be a heavy metal guitarist in his spare time.

662 A. I must not name my characters 'Bubba"

663. The Chunky Salsa Rule is not "Standard Operating Procedure" for killing corporate mooks and other unnamed NPCS.

664. I am not to ally myself with the Bug Spirits just to see what the GM will do for my own twisted amusement.

665. I must not use Hulk-Speak when playing a troll, or the GM will smite my character...again.

666:  I will not burden my characters with ridiculous degrees of superstition...

667:  If I play races such as Chadra-Fan, Pho Phei'an (sp?), etc, I will not play them as being extremely witty and urbane.  Even if they are, among their own kind, they come out of a cultural background that is so far removed from 'normal' that there's no way they should sound like a sophisticated urbanite...

668:  Relating to Rule no. 663, I will accept the fact that, no matter how precise I may feel my character can be in his application of explosives, there is no way to guarantee that anti-personnel charges will render a 'chunky salsa' result in any given situation.  Sometimes I'm just going to have to settle for tomato puree or crushed tomatoes, which are still highly effective.

672. I am no longer allowed to buy up every business in the hamlet the GM sent us to, in an effort to become the fantasy dwarf version of Ol' Man Potter.

673. I'm not allowed to create a mafia-type organization in every setting I'm playing an evil character. Not even when he's clearly Italian looking.

In reply to pained (msg #214):

Don't ever call me "Mr. Fuzzy" again.  (I assume you meant me, since the cat is the Queen of the Fatties, and is, therefore, not "Mr" anything).



674 - No matter how cunning an artificer my dwarf is, there will never again be a 9mm fully automatic crossbow in any fantasy campaign I take part in.

675 - Especially if they use a continual light spell, focussed through a ruby, to emulate a laser sight.

Not good about animals. I really thought it'd be a Mister.

But you, to me, are always the Big Hadron.

676.  Ninja are cool.  Dwarves are badass, but I am no longer allowed to combine the two, even if the idea is really cool and gives whole new meaning to the word "Kneecapping"

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

680: I shall never again spend more then an hour trying to find a picture for my character, his car or his weapon.

681: I shall never again download software, and cracks to design said sword or car appearance when the internet proves unworth.

682: The previous is not an excuse to do work....actual RPing is, but not stuff related to it.

683: A Gnone and an Orc can never produce a child....EVER.

684: When you are the richest party member, bankrupting the thief is not allowed, no matter that he tried to rob you first.

685: I shall never again play a character that cannot stop seeing into the future. Not only is it annoying to have to wait for someone to open the door as I can't tell its open, its really hard to answer questions before they are asked, without a lot of fiddling and effort.

686: In a Steam punk setting I shall not as for a gun that shoots Shurikens and Lightening.

Sure they can. Whyever not? :) I'm playing a Gnork right now in one of my tabletop games.


687. Said Gnork is not allowed to count imaginary game points (XP) anymore when killing opponents.

*shudders* The physics is just wrong.

688: I shall not respond to this thread without some number to add :)

689: The Anime Laws of Physics should not be left near players in a face to face game... it gives them to many ideas.

690: The following cannot be evil villain organizations, or locations 'Jim's World domination's', 'Wallmart's superweapons plant,' 'Good Guy's Evil volcanic lair...'

690b: Major store chains are not the route of all evil, and most super villains have more class then that.

692:  I will refrain from hyper-customizing spacecraft.  Yes, I realize that it's technically possible to get capital-scale shields on a small transport (the Empire did it with assault shuttles, in the D6 system), but duplicating the effort for the players throws things seriously out of balance (especially when another player adapts the idea and throws a capital-scale turbolaser on his ship instead of the shields.  Yeah, he's all but defenseless when firing...and he basically had to rebuild the entire ship around the gun...)

693: I am not allowed yell "Taste the Rainbow!" when casting Prismatic Spray.

694: I am not allowed yell "Imma Firin' My Lazor!" when casting Chain Lightning.

695: I am not allowed yell "It's just a jump to the left!" when casting Time Stop.

696: Just because I'm playing a Marauder Mage who truly believes that he is a Transformer, this does not give me the right to wade into battle with a 'magic plasma chainsaw'.

697: Yes, I am a Paladin. Yes, I have a mount. No, it does not taste like raisins, nor does it turn into a plane. And that's not lemonade.

698: I am not the Kung Fu Panda.

699: Zombies do NOT mean it's 'Thriller time.'

700: "I'm metagaming!" is not a valid excuse to stab the King mid-speech without provocation, no matter how obviously well-groomed his goatee might be.
