Re: Over 9000 things I am no longer permitted to do in an RPG
These are real house rules from my old gaming group - that is real things that I was informed I was no longer allowed to do in my gaming group.
125. I am no longer allowed to play any female feline-type person, female who thinks she is a feline, anybody with a feline proclivity or persuasion, or anybody who may potentially develop a liking for cats.
126. I am no longer allowed to use raw fairy dust as a way to punish bad behavior in other players' characters.
127. "We need to go now" is not a direct enough statement when I steal a dragon's entire hoard and know that it is coming after me and is going to kill my party. If I must do such a thing, I am required to be more direct with my instructions, i.e. "I have upset another dragon and he will eat you if you do not run away now."
128. I am no longer allowed to convince every PC and NPC in the game that they are my mother/father.
129. Related to above, I am no longer allowed to convince the king of the giants that my kender character is actually the princess of the realm.
130. In fact, on that note, I am no longer allowed to play a kender.
131. I am no longer allowed to make snooty in-character comments when certain players start role-playing two separate characters with themselves.
132. I am no longer allowed to play any character that requires me to do research in the DSM-IV to properly display their mental derangement.
133. Although not specifically forbidden, I am to avoid shooting the PC who captains our ship because he refuses to let my character out of the air-lock and into space.
134. I am no longer allowed to brand super-villains we have already captured as a way of keeping tally.
135. I am no longer allowed to use childrens music as a way of interrogating super-villains as it is against the Geneva convention.
136. I am no longer allowed to use LSD in any major cities' water supply in order to cover up for the less-than-intelligent moves of others on my team and then blame it on the super-villains we are currently fighting.
137. I am no longer allowed to threaten a certain player's characters with castration repeatedly just because I want to see him fall out of his chair clutching himself. If I must threaten castration, I must have a better reason.
I had more, but I can't recall them at the moment.
