* When introducing my new Player Character to the group, having a bitter feud with the local leader/quest giver because "The old fool refuses to recognize my genius!" is not a way to reassure them of my character's competence. Or sanity.
** The fact that the sanity, at least by human standards, is very definitely questionable, does not help (gnomes, wheee!)
*** When it comes out that the reason that my character joined the group without a backwards glance to his thriving business is "What about this (gnomish) country makes you think my people have anything even vaguely resembling good impulse control?", it probably won't help.

I can't have a plan to vivisect everyone I meet.
The tournament where people send their children to show off and attract attention as a substitute for war is not a "genetic shopping trip."
*I can't make plans to hunt down and devour the corpse of a god in order t become a deity myself.
**Even if the alternative is killing a planet.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
Okay, that last one? I can honestly think of worse when the alternative is an entire world dying.

The options are "I eat the dead god" or "I eat the planet," not "the planet will die if I don't eat the dead god."

Is it bad that I started counting on reading this and immedately trying to figure out a rate per campaign?

I cannot make a customer lineage dragonborn who breathes slashing. Which means I can't get resistance to slashing damage that way.

Nah, Unknown Armies. Haven't completed drafting out the school, but it's paradox is along the lines of 'a means of communication which fosters conflict'.

* May not postulate that Goku, Saitama and so on think of the joy of battle too narrowly
** May not further explain that there are actually at least Three Joys of Battle:
*** The First Joy of Battle is not defeating a weaker foe stylishly in an impractical manner to show off
**** The Second Joy Battle is not defeating an equal foe with pure force with adrenaline rushing through one's veins, the joy everyone focuses on
***** The Third Joy of Battle is not defeating a greater foe through cleverness and skill to counter their greater power.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
I mean, Saitama specifically wants the second one, and the third and possibly second one physically can't be a thing for him either.

* Setting the building on fire is not the solution to every problem. Especially if I'm playing the paladin.
* If my paladin is the most ruthless character in the party, something has gone wrong somewhere.
* Before playing a werewolf, I will make sure that none of the existing PCs have "Hates Werewolves" as an Aspect.
* Destroying the moon was the correct course of action this time. It never will be again.

At some point Terry Pratchett essentially said that if someone is trying to kill you, pray they are evil. Good people who decide you have to die will just kill you and get it over with where evil people will drag it out with torture and monologueing.
* No matter how evil they are, having the BBEG kill the players with their monologue is not fun.
