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

My first time posting in this topic, but what the hell, I'll give it a go.

6143.  Upon hearing that my GM wants his anime-based space opera military high school academy to have an all-female cast, I am not allowed to create a high school girl who is constantly drunk and has enough personal strength to beat the crap out of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

6144.  In said game, I am most definitely not allowed to do the aforementioned if I am the group's mobile genius sniper in the game.  When asked who my relative is that was the best sniper in the previous class, I am not allowed to say Kurz Weber from Full Metal Panic in order to get the GM to play a perverted, panty-stealing character that raids the female dormitories when the previous class's alumni come back to visit.

6145. I am NOT allowed to be ok with this and barter school girl panty shot pictures in order to get military grade turrets installed as security for my character's room to thwart my commander's plans to have my personal shower that keeps my character's appearance high dismantled in an effort to get me to go to training.

6146. A)  When creating the giant robot for the aforementioned schoolgirl, I am no longer allowed to put on so much laser-reflective coating that the GM has to rule that my mobile suit is bright red and can be seen from extreme distances.

6146. B)  I am not allowed to use that to my advantage to intimidate other mobile suit pilots simply by reputation.



Yeah, that was a really good game.  I haven't had another one like it in years.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!!!

However to my player's defense, RAW Golems don't have medium laser mounts or short-range missile launchers. Or nuclear reactors...

6147: I cannot play a Ranger with strict dietary requirements.

While only killing what you eat and eating what you kill may be a laudable huntsman's creed, it can lead to situations of friction with most good-aligned parties.

6147b: Especially in city-based campaigns.

6147c: And definitely not if my character's negative personality trait is 'Gluttonous.'

6148- I am not allowed to mesmerism fire spells when going into the swamp.
6148b- I am not allowed to kill 50,000+ undead with one spell if that means everyone in a world wide and very popular religion wants you dead for turning there most scared holy lands into a mushroom cloud.

6149- I am not allowed to use entropy, forces, prime, life, matter, time, and correspondence to make a paradox singularity cannon. The GM don't care if the physics work, he will make paradox spirits kick my apple on pricaple alone.

6150- I am not allowed to play entropy mage, chaos mage, order mage, or any other such thing involving probability control.

Yah... you can't control paradox, but you can control quintessence, and creating a gravity vortex to pull things in while a negative vortex creating a void of quintessence pushing the free quintessence out of everything in the area, it attracts all the paradox into the area of least resistance created.... and um... bad things happen.

The really bad part is what happens to everyone Around the cannon, sure you can do it, but once it is fired all rules no longer apply (GM gets to get Very Very Evil to all the PCs and the PCs can't say squat about it because they allowed you to fire said cannon).

Well hopefully there is a singular backlash involving whatever I aimed it at.

Sure but with Paradox it's Never what you meant or hoped would happen. Usually something bizarre though. Or nothing at all (at least nothing immediately apparent)

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

Which reminds me.....

6151- I am no longer allowed to play an arch mage
1651a: correspondence - co-locating two buildings while making the contents of such inter act with the mater of both buildings, and making one fall through the other is NOT hilarious.
1651b: time - filling out winning lottery tickets, and major stock changes, and sending them back in time  to strugling familes everywhere I go is not a fun way to make the economy more interesting.
1651c: spirit - STOP AWAKING BUILDINGS.
1651d: forces - I can not create a new force of nature and call it Bob, nore can I add life and make said force cause random breast growth.
1615e: life - I am not allowed to make new forms of life, period... particularly if I'm giggling when thinking about it.
1615f: mater - No, nitroglycerin is not better of as a gas at room temperature.
1615g: mind - no....just, no.... o.o
1615h: prime - I do not realy need to be able to derectly control paradox.
1615i: entropy - Generational 'curses' do not make for good party gifts.

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

Naming silly things Bob is an old meme.... no idea where it's from. lol

my personal fav:

Titan A.E. (2000):
Akima: You can't call a planet "Bob."

Cale: So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob.

Akima: Can't we just call it "Earth"?

Cale: No one said you have to live on Bob.

Akima: I'm never calling it that.

I liked that one to, though I would have named it Planet Rob, the lesser known nick for Bob.

1615j: I am not allowed to create new laws of physics, just so I can break more of them.
1615k: entropy 8 destiny of the species - I am not allowed to make the destiny of any species to "get down and get funky".
1615l: The banana phone mind virus was only funny the first time.
1615m: It was teleporting the hostesses undergarments five feet to the left, not her skin.... No, the fact she was a total cantaloupe don't make it ok.
1615n: I am not allowed to make ANY spell contiguous.
1615o: Giving Tom Cruise the super powers he thinks he has for one day is not a good April fools joke.
1615p: There are far more productive things to do with multistage and power than making a celebratory allergic to clothing .

Hey, don't say make the worst kind of fomori you can think of if you don't mean it...

Some people forget just how evil and disturbing we gamers can get. When they do, they soon regret it when they put such thoughts out there for us to play with.

1618: In Mutants and Masterminds, I'm no longer allowed to play with flaws and drawbacks to the point where I can get 30 PP worth of powers on a 1 PP Device.
1619: Even if it is a really cool device, with a consistent theme across the powers.
1620: In D&D, I'm no longer allowed to play a Pale Master. Apparently the one free Animate Dead per day causes problems when we're on an island full of dinosaurs.

1621 I am no longer permitted to break the laws of reality to give the players a real challenge by fusing a Chaos Monitor with a Nexus Crawler. So sayith the guy who body hair turned into living fire and started sweeting sulfuric acid just from getting to close to it.

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

1622 I am no longer allowed to make a botched attempt to cross the gauntlet send the party to the realm of atrocity.... It doesn't matter if its October and the players just talked about it being cool to be in a horror movie... they do not what THAT KIND of horror movie.

1623 Im not permitted to take the flaws: Bards Tongue, and Compulsion(saying "Well, that was easy.") together.

1624 Like wise I am not permitted to take: curiosity, kleptomania, and OCD (touch everything).

1625 Im not allowed to have a mulkavian who is sane and talinted enough to make the ventrue look bad at business.

1626 Im not alowed to play a vampire who can beat up the entire bruha clan single handedly, unless he to is bruha.
