Let's just say that some GMs aren't pleased when you polymorph their BBEG into a Japanese Schoolgirl and then cast Hentai Tentacles.

And it didn't help that I cued up Bible Black as a visual aid.

6110: In a similar vein to 6108 above I am not allowed to in any way learn or cast the spell 'Evan's Spiked Tentacles of Forced Intrusion': even if the campaign is expressly based on Order of the Stick.
6111: I also am not allowed to know numerology in character: Summoning Lucifer once was terrifying enough.

6112: When revealing the eldrich abomination to the party, I am not allowed to show the players a picture of Jar-Jar Binks.
6113: Especially if it's actually a good likeness.

6112) Under no circumstances am I to make the 'Alexei Yaruk Method' charm again. Taunting your foes into causing combat mistakes is too powerful.

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

6113) I am no longer allowed to tell my mid-level PC's that they will all get to create 1st level NPCs to act as their apprentices, devote an entire game session for them to build up their minions and then in the next game session brutally murder their apprentices

6114) I am especially not allowed to smirk after not doing #6113 and say anything along the lines of "you guys put so much effort into it, it's a shame they all got killed so fast..."

6115) I am not allowed to introduce their romantic "dream-guy/gal" NPCs in a session and then end that session by brutally murdering said romantic interest

6116) If I do the above the murderer is not allowed to say "Don't hate the player, hate the game" before escaping the PC's wrath

6117) ...I am not allowed to create a multiple session game with the purpose of purely being a tool for revenge against my friends...

If you do this in a Table Top setting, you may not Live to do it again for Real (your players will likely kill you for real).

6118. Under no circumstances may I put a group against a Half-Troll Fiendish Pseudonatural Tarrasque with Barbarian levels.

Hahahahaha! You clearly don't know my roleplay group! I guarantee you they would find a way to kill it so dead that no members of its family would ever dare attack them again.

6119: I'm no longer allowed to play a Half-Nymph Catfolk Vampire for any reason. Ever.

6120: I'm no longer allowed to suggest the best course of action to my party, because I apparently make terrible ideas sound Really Fun! (How was I suppose to know that he would get ambushed by the four bounty hunters and advanced wyvern we just saw enter the building when he dive-bombed through the roof after them?)

6121:As DM, I'm no longer allowed to TPK the party by casting Dominate Person on the Big Dumb Min-Maxed Barbarian dual wielding greatswords. Well, mostly I'm just required to at least hint at there being flaws to their characters before I make them realize it the very, very fun way.

6122: As a player, I'm now required by law to have background ties to each player in the party, so that it would be against my background to value my own life much much much much MUCH more than that of any of other person in the party. Sigh. . . No more quick-casting expeditious retreat when we get ambushed. . .

Dude, that's got to be the best counter to a min-max power gamer I've ever heard.  I love it.  Of course, I'm probably not allowed to do this to my parties either, but hey, they made their bed ;-)

Nobody. I repeat, NOBODY dumps Wisdom in my games anymore. Cloak of Resistance is usually a top pick for first magic item (even over Handy Haversack nowadays).

Oh, and all my players have learned how to have fun with the game once again. They also don't make 1-20 spreadsheet builds anymore, and just go with the flow to make a living, breathing, believable person. :-D

Best, NPC idea, EVER! I am so totally springing this on one of my parties when they are high enough level to handle it... ;D

yeah, Hypnotoad does not like it when you set fire to his home. He may make you set fire to yourself if you do that.

If it has stats, it can be killed.  The Hypnotoad knows this.

If you want something that can actually be killed, try making a Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka. Killing the Hypnotoad is bad, m'kay?

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

6125.  Inspiration is never to be drawn from Exalted and there will never be a 9th level spell called Soulbreaker Orb ever again.  Magical WMDs that slaughter massive armies make the GM cry and curl into a ball.

6126.  My bard is never to use Justin Bieber songs for any of their class abilities.                                                                                                    6127. In any and all superhero games, I am strictly forbidden from playing any character without superpowers of some sort.    Non powered heroes are far too broken in my fiendish hands.
