    From my first Tunnels and Trolls game yesterday:
    * Cannot name my dwarf rogue 'Urist McHammerson'.
    ** Especially when it's the other dwarf in the party who wields the hammer, I'm a spear dude.
    * Cannot abuse the fact neither of the casters have more than 4 Strength to take all the gold.
    * 'Gold gold gold gold gold gold gold gold gold' is not the second most common dwarven adventuring song.
    ** The most common is not 'don't kill them all before I get there!'.

    Reading this just made me think up a system that would allow this that i should totally implement if i ever DM game.

    Everyone has one "Point of awesome" to spend at any time they want. Spending a "Point of Awsome" allows you to perform multiple actions in a row and bend the rules of the game to your whim for a short time, but the effect and result MUST be awesome. To spend a point of awesome you must first state you wish to do so, and once you have the attention of the DM and other players, you may state your plan. (i.e. "i cast spider climb on myself, run up the walls, and jump down onto the dragon casting smite evil upon it's skull as i fall down upon it. I then cast feather falling on myself and drift down to safety as the dragon lands dead behind me, uttering the quip "The bigger they are, the harder i fall." while putting on some cool shades.")

    If the DM and other players agree to this, you perform the actions and potentially end the encounter quickly.

    To re-gain a point of awesome, you must perform an aw some feat such as the above while adhering to the rules of the game. Spending a point of awesome allows you to do something awesome outside the game rules. Earning a point of awesome requires you do something awesome WITHIN the game rules.

    Would require some refinement and most if not all of the party getting along well, but still. Awesome.

    I might be peeved at the GM's railroading.
    Yes, my character is crazy, and doesn't always care about collateral damage.
    Still, playing a relic Malkavian violin in the middle of a busy highway is a bit of an overkill.

    This is the part where you quit Shadowrunning and start a job as Snow Crash-style ice cream delivery men.

    ...Actually, that could be a pretty cool game. You break into high-tech research facilities to sell boxes of top-shelf ice cream to scientists whose corporations haven't given them quality junk food for months, and/or trade for goods that'll let you crack Aztechnology's new ice cream formula months before it'll hit the market. Could be fun.

    Also spread rumors of various degrees of ridiculousness and make sure to erase as much evidence of the ice cream trucker's presence as possible. If there the only evidence available is hear-say, then nobody in their right mind would believe in your existence. It's the perfect crime.

    One of my favorite missions ever was giving the PCs a Macguffin box to deliver to a mafia boss across town, then have every other syndicate and gang come attack the team to steal it. After a crazy night of the strangest encounters found this side of Dude, where's My Car?, the PCs managed to deliver. The box contained a rare collectible pretty pony princess doll the mafia don bought for his daughters birthday.

    The players were actually not upset about that. Not that I was allowed to do that stunt again. :3

    Seriously, though, not that tricky to chart, although confusing to keep track of. It's like how you can use three 2d grids to represent a 3d space, with one representing the x-y plane, one for the y-z plane, and one for the x-z plane. You just need to now add in graphs for a w-x, w-y, and w-z plane. Easiest way to keep track of it mentally is to think of each point on the w-axis as being a cube, parallel to the cubes of the other w-axis points. Like how a 3d grid can be thought of a bunch of parallel 2d planes.
    ** Pointing out published Tesseract dungeons exist (including Baba Yaga's Hut - the one with a Russian tank in the basement), or the standard use of ethereal as a 2-level direction doesn't help.

    It is ridiculously easy to do zone-to-zone (4 and 5 number coordinates), though in-space play gets weird when you try to address how players perceive the extra directions, or if they can.
    Why yes, Warlock is my solution for everything.

    Speaking as another player in Reltzik's group, our DM actually does have a system like this. However, Reltzik was all out of points, so it didn't help him this time. The points are mainly awarded when the DM feels like he's railroading us and are supposed to be spent to do cool stuff that the rules don't really cover.

    * As a GM, cannot allow a player to play a masochist PC.
    ** Also cannot allow her to investigate other NPCs.
    *** Especially when 'investigating' consists of katana-stabbing and crossbow-shooting.
    **** When she inevitably kills an NPC+, must not keep the NPC's corpse.
    ***** Said corpse cannot make an appearance when a second PC of the same player arrives in the same place.

    * Cannot mention that the killed NPC respawned video-game style.
    ** Or that the NPC returned to see her own corpse, being mourned by the pacifist PC.
    *** Or that the pacifist PC gave advice to the NPC on how not to get killed next time.
