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

Sub list:  Things I'm no longer allowed to do as a member of the Corporate Court, on pain of having an Omega Order shoved up my assets.

1)  Not allowed to hire a dozen rookie Shadowrun teams, give them each conflicting and impossible missions with the promise of an immense payout. All while under a dozen different fake identities. In a country my corporation has no business ventures in, sole to giggle at the explosions.

2)  Not allowed to summon a giant bug monster in hopes I'll get a chance to ask Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith for an autograph.

3)  I'm not allowed to yell "Blood for the blood god!" everytime I see the Aztechnology representative.

4)  Not allowed to rename the Renraku Arcology "Alpha Complex", its AI "The Computer" and declare myself High Programmer of Alpha Complex.

5)  Not allowed to hire shadowrunners to hit the corporate HQ in order to accomplish inane tasks like finding my car keys or fetching me a cup of coffee.

6)  Hiring Shadowrunners to chain a damsel to a rock in front of the Saeder-Krupp Arcology was only funny the first time.

7)  I'm not allowed to check server load capacity by hiring every decker in town for the same job. - by Azraile

So that was 5605 with addendum's.
 Sounds like you should just no longer play Shadowrun from everything you have listed as 'not allowed to do in Shadowrun' anymore.

5606: I am no longer allowed to play Wild Mages in 2nd Edition D&D. For some reason Wildsurge rolls always end up working in my favor somehow.

5607: I am no longer allowed to use Baleful utterance when fighting female warriors

5608: I am no longer allowed to play a character who can cast Alter Gender or Alter Sexual Preference

5609: I am no longer to romance the princesses we save. I have a bad habit of making sure they become Queen.

5610: There is no such thing as Lightsaber-chucks...even if I am playing a character who is immune to energy attacks.

5611: I am no longer allowed to bribe the Shifter to take us from Phase World to the Star Wars universe.
 5611a: If I somehow do so, I am not allowed to parry the Deathstar Superlaser with my rune weapon.

The answer to this one is easy - you just would not survive the experiment - along with a few hundred mile area around the experiment.
This is do to the magnetic fields canceling each other out and the anti-matter the Sphere's are made being released in to the physical world.

In reply to ShadoPrism (msg # 2313):

Actually it depends of what your GM thinks composes a Sphere of Annihilation (the D&D minor artifact). I have seen descriptions from quantum singularity to a sort of anti-genesis. I personally view it as the later with a basic shield that does not gaseous matter to touch it. In effect the Sphere unmakes everything it touches. So the idea of two Spheres touching each other can either be horrifying catastrophic or sadly anticlimactic.

Not that I play D&D but a Sphere of Annihilation couldn't be anti-matter.  It's use would create an unbelievably huge explosion.  For instance, if you had a half a matchstick's worth of anti-matter it would destroy a MOUNTAIN.  Enough anti-matter to wipe out a character would be beyond belief.

Most likely it would be some sort of Strong Nuclear Force suppression device.  All this would do is create a cloud of subatomic particles that would rapidly reform into hydrogen and release a bit of radiation as the neutrons decayed.

Actually a Matter-Antimatter mutual annihilation is more along the lines of 64 Megatons for a 1oz:1oz reaction. A mountain would survive that. Nothing on the mountain would, but the mountain would still be there.

They mate, the female Sphere lays eggs, and the end of the world soon ensues as the larvae masticate local reality out of existence.

This by far is the best answer! What a minute! Umbral Blots from the Epic Level Handbook are just giant Spheres of Annihilation with a few other powers...could the Spheres be the adolescent form?

So, the answer to 'what happens when two Spheres of Annihilation meet?' is teenagers doing the frick-frack? Definitely no longer permitted. :P

In this case, the world as you know it ends, for you. For everyone else nothing happens, cause you have been dropped in to a catatonic state and the 'end' is really a madness type dream.

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

5621: When the party finally tracks down an NPC who can tell them what kind of magic the enemy guild uses, the answer cannot be "Suppository."

5622: 'Aborted fetus' is not an acceptable player race in a D&D-esque world.

5623: Werewolves taking the Chicken-Infested feat.

5624: Tricking the Judeo-Christian deity into taking the form of an edible pork product.

5625: Paladins may no longer turn off their Detect Evil ability in an attempt to ignore that a fellow party member is of evil alignment.

5626: I am not allowed to cast She's Your Granny on the high priest(esse)s of gods that are arch-enemies. Especially not if the priesthood is required to be celibate or virgin.

5627: Do not taunt the birth god. And if he has caused your character to have a cow, you may not sacrifice the newborn in the form of hamburgers.

5679: In a Harry Potter AU RolePlay the "...power he knows not" is not the Power Cosmic, the Power of Grayskull, the Power Pack or Turtle Power no matter how awesome any of those would be.

5680: In a Marvel Zombies game playing Warlock, Machine Man, or Mainframe and just ignoring the zombie plague is not an option.

Which one, personally I think Turtle Power would be the most awesome.

I  imagine, now that it has been mentioned, someone is working on a TMNT/ Harry Potter crossover fic.

5931: Not allowed to create a chain of dry cleaners across the kingdom by employing an army of apprentice magicians, instructing them that their first step in magic training is to master Prestidigitation.

5931a: While marginally more acceptable, I still cannot create a franchise of dry cleaners by supplying magic wands of Prestidigitation to slightly-trained commoners.
