Over 9000 things I am no longer permitted to do in an RPG
There used to be a delightful thread that covered the X signs your GM was crazy. I think towards the end we got a little competitive and began numbering infinity+1 and beyond (as an ironic sign, we were indeed insane much like our GM).
I recently came across 1525 things Mr Welch was "No Longer" permitted to do during an RPG session and thought it was hilarious. I am not sure who Mr Welch is, but obviously he is a very creative person who would be welcome at my gaming table (and by gaming table, I mean he stays where he is and roleplays over rpol).
I did a little hunting around and found there were other lists around. So I thought I'd get us started by posting a few of the things for 2010, I am no longer going to do, and I hope you will add to it in the spirit of tongue in cheek.
I am going to add twenty, but feel free to add one, none, or however many. Let's see if we can get to Over 9000.
1. There is no Gnomish god of heavy artillery.
2. My 7th Sea character Boudreaux is not 'Southern' Montaigne.
3. Not allowed to blow all my skill points on 1pt professional skills.
4. Synchronized panicking is not a proper battle plan.
5. Not allowed to use psychic powers to do the dishes.
6. My monk's lips must be in sync.
7. Not allowed to berserk for the hell of it, especially during royal masquerades.
8. Must learn at least one offensive or defensive spell if I'm the sorcerer.
9. Ogres are not kosher.
10. Plan B is not automatically twice as much gunpowder as Plan A.
11. I will not beat Tomb of Horrors in less than 10 minutes from memory.
12. There is no such thing as a Gnomish Pygmy War Rhino.
14. Even if the rules allow it, I am not allowed to summon 50,000 Blue Whales.
15. The green elf does not need food badly.
16. Say "My Power Level is Over 9000"
17. Say "I am a Snorlax, and I am blocking the path, too bad, so sad"
18. Once I get my Knight or Wizard rolled up in your game, go into the tavern and
invite people to recursively roleplay by having OUR characters roll up characters of their own, as they imagine going on exciting adventures of their own by candle light.
19. If I DO actually recursively roleplay despite no longer being allowed too, I will limit it to just one iteration, so that the characters of my character will not begin roleplaying.
20. Say "You should play Gurps, Dude!"
