Things I May No Longer Do While Playing VI: This Isn't A Checklist, We Swear!

[GPuzzle]

*In case we're playing Everybody is John, "Shoot everyone, so you won't be discriminating anyone" is forbidden.
**Doubly so if we're playing Shadowrun.
***Triply so if we're playing D&D.
****Especially if we're not playing Eberron.
*****No, not even then.

[Ionbound]

* Not allowed to do anything I saw on Corruption of Champions once
** And no, goblins do not work like that!

I'm surprised it took this long for something like that to be banned.

* Not allowed to do anything I saw on Corruption of Champions once

So you haven't seen Lion King, but have played Corruption of Champions? Youth.

***Just because you saw it in Trials in Tainted Space doesn't mean that it can circumvent this rule.
****Please stop eating pieces of every monster you defeat to try become more like them, the humanoid body doesn't work like that.
*****You want to keep trying to add bits of Fen Oxo's games into this one? Fine, I'll run Savin's Fall of the Order of Light. I hope you like tentacles.

You can blame me for that, I've been trying to introduce her to various movies and video games, and CoC was one of the things that got her attention.

...but Vampires the Bloodlines didn't. Youth.

Wait, this is a thing? I've been warned away from both Tumblr and 4chan, so I don't know whether this is true or not. Either way, it's not a good thing to base a character on.

Oh my yes it's a thing. If there's one thing Tumblr has, it's lots of teenagers who are very bad at thinking through the consequences of their actions, some of whom have very poor self esteem (or something. Obviously, reasons will vary from person to person). The best ones are those who are both types; they post half a dozen nude pictures and a poorly-spelled essay about why this is a devastating blow to the patriarchy. This is enthusiastically supported by dozens of fourteen-year-old boys, showing the demographics of feminism are very different from what you might think.

I've got a friend who's subscribed to both types of idiot teenager as well as various other things, meaning her tumblr (which she showed me once, I think because there was a funny picture she wanted me to see) is essentially a distilled version of the internet; a cool-looking music box, then an adorable bunny, then a rant by a confused, possibly mentally unstable girl about why the patriarchy controls every aspect of her life, then breasts, then a meme...

Anyway, to stop this going completely off-topic...

* 'There Ain't No Green In The Flag Of Cheth Rhinn' is not our national anthem, and you can bet the Orc delegation know that.

* If my campaign summary begins with 'CWCville, but...' I should stop immediately.

* I may not base battle plans on lyrics by any of the following bands: Arch Enemy, Metallica, The Anti-Nowhere League, The Misfits, The Agonist, Equilibrium, Van Canto, Lordi, Hammerfall or Babymetal
** Sabaton, however, is perfectly acceptable.

* I have to have a better reason for playing a wizard than 'the robes look more comfortable than these damnably itchy trousers'
** Especially if I turn up to the next session in a robe in order to prove my theory

* I am forbidden from having 'the talk' IC

* No making a character who doesn't speak English if I don't speak the language they do (Japanese in this case. Lots of Google Translate involved...)

* 'It'll work, they did this exact plan in a really famous battle' doesn't apply if the plan in question was that of the losing side.

[Socksy]

* No making a character who doesn't speak English if I don't speak the language they do

**No making a character who doesn't speak English if I am the only one who speaks the language they do.
*** This applies both IC and OOC.
**** There is no such thing as Pigeon Welsh.

So what I've gathered from the last few posts in this thread?

Youth is weird.

>is sixteen
>is using greentext outside of 4chan
>talking to himself on the internet
>derpaherp autism sucks
>implying it is not whitetext
>implying autism has to anything to do with insanity
>implying that implying has any effect on my decisions

[8balls]

*I am not allowed to play a monk called bruce wayne or batman
** I am not allowed to make a bard who's only perform skill is hamboning.
*** I am not allowed to play anything from "ponies in pathfinder"
****I am not allowed to cross my little pony with call of cthulhu
***** My bard's only instrument isn't the tuba
****** if it I can't claim that it acts as full plate.

[Silus]

*If the DM says the BBEG is wearing blaster resistant armor, I should take his word for it.
**For the purposes of setting the scene, it is acceptable to ask if the BBEG is wearing a helmet.
***While strategically sound, out of courtesy to the DM's hard work, I should not aim a point-blank blaster shot at the BBEG's unexposed face, negating the blaster resistant armor.
****Dropping a roof on him however is acceptable.

[Prince Raven]

***** My bard's only instrument isn't the tuba

****** Said tuba does make me better at running away from encounters, or let me take some of the treasure when I do.

* When I make a sandbox game with no driving plot, as requested by the players, I should make sure at least some of their characters have some reason to create their own plots.

[Socksy]

* My bard does not know Yakety Sax

* When my enemy points out to my Paladin that my deity has strict rules against killing, I may not retort with "The rules don't say anything about kneecaps"

[Socksy]

* When my enemy points out to my Paladin that my deity has strict rules against killing, I may not retort with "The rules don't say anything about kneecaps"

**This applies doubly if I'm playing a Small or smaller race

[Hyena]

* My character is not averse to killing.
** Doubly so if she is a necromancer.
*** If rope and shackles cause most of my encumbrance, I'm playing the game wrong.
**** If by the end of the first module my character became a benevolent warlord ruling monsters I've defeated, I'm playing the game very wrong.

All of this actually happened, except my DM liked it. I also had fun at first, and then I've understood why previous warlord was so eager to give me his throne. Managing the monster horde is a nightmare.

[Rater202]

*May not derial the game into a 20 minute discussion on Lucemon's hypothetical Champion form,.
**Can't debate wheather or not it can Digivolve or if it only mode changes.

rom here on the forum.
*If two PCs have strict codes of Honor, then we are to make sure that those codes do not conflict

[DigoDragon]

* Gluttony is not to be used as a means to give my character magical teleporting super powers.

[Prince Raven]

Gluttony the vice or Gluttony the homunculus?

Gluttony the novel

[boomwolf]

*Swords cannot be used as ammo for oversized bows.
**nor can people.
***dragons are right out.

[Oneris]

**Also not allowed to play 'John of Arcadia' and vow to kick all the British out of New France. In 21st century Canada.
***Playing John of Arkansas is right out.

[Hyena]

* If we're playing a game of "Everyone is John", I am not allowed to play as Helix Fossil.
** John does not have crippling fear of small ledges and computers.

[Socksy]

* Playground is collectively banned from playing Everyone Is John.

[DigoDragon]

Gluttony the vice or Gluttony the homunculus?

The former, but the only way I could see the latter being used for teleporting is going to be a definite case of "Do Not Want".

[Wookieetank]

*I'm not to take inspiration from ADOM for how to gain extra abilities
**Please, just stop, no one wants to see you eat that.
***That either
****No longer allowed to play a character who has a mouth, and must use photosynthesis for nutrition
*****No venus flytrap mutations for you either.
******Just beacuse real life has carnivorious plants, doesn't mean you get to play as one.

[Graypairofsocks]

*I'm not to take inspiration from ADOM for how to gain extra abilities.

** Or nethack for that matter.
*** I may not wish for a Blessed figurine of an archon.
**** SLASH'EM is also likewise not a source for how to gain extra abilities.
***** I may not wish for a Blessed figurine of a solar.

How else do you explain template stacking?

[DigoDragon]

* Dwarves are not to be thrown around like ninja stars.
** Hell hounds and chest-bursters are not the same thing.
*** Armoires do not have the ability to charge. Or wield weapons. Or make use of magic items.
**** No longer allowed to attack the party with viking armoires.

... So normally it's just a hard bossfight, other times it's the game actively kicking you in the balls mid-bossfight.

what do you exect. it's dark souls - kicking the player in the balls with something they couldn't be prepared for is 90% of the entire premise
