* If the introduction of the ship's pilot starts with the captain stupidly drunk in his apartment, the battle accountant and comm officer messing with the front door lock, the telekinetic listing which appliances do enough damage to kill a man, and all the milk in the fridge stolen, we have completely gone off the rails.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
An nWod one...
* No longer allowed to use Fate to make anyone looking for my room stumble into the Adamant Arrow's room instead. Especially if I flirted with the Moros while I was tipsy at dinner.
* No, it is not the Adamant Arrow's fault for "not warding his room."
* If the strange mexican tequila the Moros drank gives him a tattoo of a death's head moth that radiates fate magic, I should warn him. Not tell the Thyrsus to drink one too so that I have a wider test base.
* When the coven decides to sneak into the warehouse the tequila is shipped from to find out information about where it came from, I should point out to my fellow mages to cover their freakin' faces. Not simply cover my own and watch the fireworks.
* When the two Mysterium mages are told to leave by the two Adamant Arrows because of the werewolf howls in the distance, they should leave. They should not try to run over the Gauru with a van, that will only piss it off and total their van.
* The proper response to a Gauru charging into melee with me is not spraying a can of mace in its face, even if it was very effective.
* I am no longer to giggle evilly when the Gm realizes that the Evil Eye Hex, penalty from the Mace, Penalty from my Fate Armor, and Penalty from my Defense reduces the werewolf to a chance die. I have been informed by the Adamant arrow that the proper response is a nod and an evil smile. The giggling just made the werewolf feel bad.
* If my character is predominantly responsible for the mexican police finding five dead naked mexicans (the Gm ruled none of them had done the Rite of Dedication on their clothes), most with gunshot wounds, one with gunshot wounds and mace in said wounds, one mauled by a bear, and one hit with a van and then shot, I am to assume that I will not be allowed into the Guardians of the Veil. The Adamant Arrows were very impressed with my versatility, however.

*While it would be a pretty decent plan, it doesn't really make for engaging gameplay to simply get a white-collar job with the megacorp under an assumed identity, work my way up to general manager of the facility I'm targeting over the course of a couple of years, suddenly steal everything that isn't nailed down one night, and get extensive plastic surgery and cyberware to alter my appearance.
**My character may not work better as a Johnson than a runner.

*May never trust that the DM is actually getting annoyed with how careful (and time-consuming) we're being about checking for traps, and start being careless just to move things along.
**I'm expected to be at least a bit upset at losing a character, not burst out laughing and say "Praise Gygax, I've come home!"

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
*as much fun as it was, i'm not to instruct my players to describe their characters in 5 sentences anymore as a one-shot backstory...
** if it is done via text message, i'm not to be surprised that interpol bursts through my door.
Spoiler(of the three characters, one was a militant neo-nazi with survivalist overtones, one was inspired by a famous pedophile, and the last was an over the hill prostitute with lots of blackmail over the mayor... hilariously improvised with no communications between players. it was a surreal one-shot)
here's the method for those interested:
1: name and age.
2: appearance
3: job
4: capabilities, hobbies, strengths
5: weaknesses, flaws, dislikes.
instant mad-libs style backstory ready to play. just make sure to use it around people whose sense of humor is not singing the blues or hanging by a noose.

* May not brute force explosions with mass and velocity.
* While it is rules legal, using a tractor beam against Cthulhu is bad form.
** The solution to Cthulhu resurrecting it's not to seal him in an airtight box and let him suffocate for eternity.
*** May no longer attempt to hurl suns at Great Old Ones.
**** May not disassemble Cthulhu.
* Must stop referring to humanity as 'the apes that build.
** Cannot give humanity a mythos title.
* If at any point more than half my body is made out of dark matter I am not a legal PC.
I picked up Eldritch Skies today, which seems to have successfully blended Lovecraft with Space Opera (take that CthulhuTech). Although it did spend over two pages justifying why it's in the spirit of Lovecraft's works (bolted down to 'we decided to focus on a different element of his stories').
