My Mulcavian got kicked out of the clan by the locals who where all loons and the Ventrue, who where going to kill him, instead adopted him and had him help with his connections and finances. lol

It also helped he had the other non loon (but acting loon) Mulcavian who was going around every night and giving people blood-Popsicles and blood-bonding half the vampire population beaten and tied to a roof of a building over night by a bunch of construction workers.  Though they found it a little odd when he wasn't there to be let down in the morning. ^.^

*shrugs* If I looked up how to spell everything I had to look up how to spell, that's all I would be doing. ^.^;

The OCGD thing fits me, cause I really am OCD. The above was just a symptom of that.

6165: I am not allowed to run my party through old TSR campaigns without warning them first. People need to know if its okay to laugh at the plot.

6166: I am no longer allowed to run parties through Ravenloft without a prior disclaimer or warning.  Having to call the cops, paramedics, etc. is not a fun way to end the session.  Even if the sheer look of apoplexy prior to the incident was massively hilarious.

In reply to HornetCorset (msg # 2463):

Actually I am doing that now - Haunted Halls of Evening Star. Supposed to be a level 1-3 dungeon, but there are Lots of high level and quick death monsters in it. Including 2 Zu-Zu zombies, a spider whose initial attack does 1D10 damage + poison (1D4 + save or fall in to a coma for 1d4 days), a Mummy, a large mimic and a doppleganger. Those critters even if played dumb, can easily be party killers.
Though I outfitted the party with a bit more magic than is normal, but most of it is non weapons type gear.

So far they are doing pretty well, no one has died, thanks to the 2 healers mostly (and me fudging some rolls in favor of the PCs - I don't like Instant kill traps, no matter if they are realistic, the rest of this dungeon is not realistic to start with. Place has 3 privies but no kitchens, yet has a grand dinning hall. And none of the privies are near any place that would be useful to or easily reachable by the inhabitants of the place. It was not well thought out design. (Which fits lots of old TSR dungeons and Castle layouts)

6167: I am not allowed to let this beautiful thread go without posts for months, especially when it is finally hitting numbers where it looks like it may actually have a chance at reaching 9000.

6167a: Especially since I need more ideas for toying with the sanity of my GM... >:D

Most GM sanities have been slipping from years of dealing with PCs. So few of us are totally sane to start with (this goes for players to if you think about it.)

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

6168: In Shadowrun, I am no longer allowed to roleplay my character, Doctor Cortex Bomb.

6169: In Rifts, I may no longer roleplay my character, the disgruntled Coalition postal worker.

6170: In Rifts Savage Worlds, I shall not roleplay the feral Dogboy who chases the disgruntled Coalition postal worker either.

6171: In Anima, I cannot play any character with an artifact of my own design in my starting equipment. If I think the artifact is really cool, I may not use it at any time after character creation either.

P.S. That is a wildly unbalancing and munchkin but entirely rules legal option.^

6172: In Paleomythic, I may roleplay a character who dresses in a loin cloth or leather bikini as per rules, but my descriptions of this clothing is limited to one sentence of no more than twenty words.

6173: In AD&D, I will stop screwing around with Bags of Holding just to find out what happens.

I think we need a recount.  Some are labled 16-- and others 61--.  it may put the count out of whack.

I agree.

6174: I shouldn't do anything on this list, but I can't promise.

6175: I will try not to boast about all the things my elf ranger has done.

6176: I shouldn't make a psychopathic time traveling surgeon. Actually, I take that back, that sounds like an awesome idea for a character.

6177: As a GM I won't kill all the characters in a party on April fools day.

Right, wait for Halloween or Thanksgiving. Something appropriate for Killing. (T day is good for Decapitations.)

6179: Dual wielding double lightsabers is really bad form. Even when your character has 4 arms.

But General Grievous wielded 4 at a time, so what is so bad about 2 ?

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

6180: I have been explicitly forbidden from claiming that my character hails from the mysterious and mythical land of Rhy'Din.

6181: I have been explicitly forbidden from justifying my character's aberrant behavior as "cultural norms" originating from the mysterious and mythical land of Rhy'Din.

6182: I am no longer permitted to point out to the GM that he stated, in front of everyone, that this was a "just for fun adventure, hit me with your wildest character ideas" and then approved said character from the mysterious and mythical land of Rhy'Din.

6183: I have forbidden myself from playing with that particular GM ever again.

Yeah I have run afoul of a couple GM's like this one. Tell you one thing, then try and make you NOT play it even though they approved it originally. Run in to some players like that to (who get upset when NPCs don't act how They think they should, or do things They do not care for.)
In one case it was both a player and GM (same person) I vowed to never play with again.

In reply to ShadoPrism (msg # 2476):

There's a long, sad history of how our relationship just went down the tubes. We started out on pretty good terms and he even asked (I never offered to avoid stepping on his toes) my opinion on a lot of things to help his game get better, but the more I helped him, the worse he acted towards me. It was apparent to everybody that he didn't want me in his game anymore, but he didn't want to just come out and say it.

We had us a talk a week prior to that last adventure and I flat out asked him whether I needed to find another game and he said, and I quote, "I'd prefer it if you'd just stop showing up. Tell everybody else that you've got some real life issues and need time to sort them out and I'll back you up. I don't need you anymore. If you show up next week [for the non-canon adventure], I'm going to write in that [My Magus] died during the downtime of an incurable disease that nobody noticed you picked up during their last dungeon."

The rest is a story that I will never share to the general public out of respect to my fellow players who were there that day. The others have told me over the years that once I stopped playing, the entire campaign went to pot because he kept artificially inflating challenges, "moving the goalposts", and consistently giving his Author Avatar character the limelight while they were all but rendered into NPCs.

Been there, done that, watched more than one group crash and burn because the GM had "Issues" that destroyed the game for everyone else.

The worst GM I ever ran in to would not let anyone roll dice for Anything in his game cause EVERYONE cheated - no exceptions - was the shortest game I have ever been to - lasted all of 3 hours, we broke for lunch and No One came back.
The GM could not understand why. (I only went back to get my books, and I told him that I did not like being accused of cheating when I had never met him before in my life.)

Not allowed to invent a new double weapon that consists of two chainsaws mounted to either end of a pole. Also, no chainsaw nunchaku.

What about attaching chainsaws to wind and fire wheels? or chakrams?
