*Rule #16 of the modern day paladin: Hijacking planes is an aggressively not-good act. Hijacking just to joy-ride will cause me to promptly fall in both senses of the word.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
*perform (grindcore) is not valid
**neither is perform (death metal)
***roleplaying the vocals just because i can is not good roleplaying. that's showing off
*banned forever from having a singing sword.
**especially if it sings death metal
***calling it corpsegrinder is out
****just because it's 3lbs of screaming steel does not make it the most metal thing ever
*not matter how hilarious, a goth/black metal gnome bard/druid based on black metal band Immortal will be banned from campaigns against evil
*half-gnoll bard? bad idea
(not tested, just asked the dm, spoilsport he is)
*banjoleles, sitars, banjos, electric guitars, double bass, cellos, trombones, tubas, and grand pianos are now banned instruments for any bard
**if it doesn't fit in a breadbox, it's not a judicious choice for a roving bard

As Dm
*not to take a group that likes to play spellcasters and suggest, "ok how about a no magic campaign"
*may not deploy more than eight anti magic spheres in a given room
**May not invent the anti-magic elipsoid or anti-magic cube to get around this
*may not set games in a fictional counterpart of the French and Indian War (Seven Years War for those in Europe)
**If so I may not make major characters that have the exact same name as their real world counterparts just because I am bad at naming and I am reasonably certain that nobody will pick up on it.
***I definitly cannot then have this lead to a fictional verson of the American revolution.
****At this point if I insist on making Fictional counterparts to real world characters the list that I use should not look like this.
(Contains their in game role according to TVtropes)
-Colonel Tarlton (Dragon) In game name Colonel Arlton
-General William Howe (BBEG) in game name General Howard Wiliamson
-Daniel Morgan (Hero from another story) in game name Colonel Morgan Danielson
-Nathaniel Green (Da Chief) In game name Nathan Red
-Thomas Jefferson (The Commisoner) In game name Jeffery Thomson
(note this is a campaign that I am currently running)

Was this by your doing, or did your players choose to start the reolution on their own without prompting?
*May not attempt to pin everything wrong in the world on Elves.
**Even if it is occasionally right.
***Trying to convince every nation that is not elven to wipe out the elves as a means of making the world a better place is right out.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
*As a DM, I am no longer allowed to be lazy by having an encounter where the PC's fight each other, then just sitting back and watching the carnage.
I did this last night. Online pathfinder game (Roll20), one PC (Ratfolk Gunslinger), backed up by two NPC's (a pair of Rapier-wielding Ratfolk Rogues who used swarmfighting for auto-flank), was hired under false pretenses to assassinate the other PC's (Classic "Wacky Misunderstanding/Bad Guy Deception" story).
It was all fun and games until the Witch Doctor summoned a giant monkey.

78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.
Mine began with one character actively seeking out the other characters in a large town.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
Oh, some things I remembered from last session:
The party scout:
*May no longer announce our presence to the enemy
**Especially when the party could have easily ambushed them
***May not suggest a ridiculous course of action based on wrong ideas he came up with himself.
The party cleric:
*May not attempt to melee the enemy without a melee weapon
**May not refuse to heal the party, as he is indirectly responsible for much of the damage we tookAvatar by FinnLassie
A few odds and ends.

Since only half of my party has even read OOTS I am not allowed to reference it at all. The DM gets it when I say "Well, Durkon would...". The rest of the party doesn't get it until its far too late.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
As a DM:
I am not allowed gleefully to chant: "TPK, TPK, TPK" to the tune of the Smash Bros character chants: such as "Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!"
I am not allowed mournfully chant: "TPK, TPK, TPK"
I am not allowed to chant: "TPK" any form
I am not allowed to chant.
I am not allowed to mention "TPK", much less insinuate that that the whole party is going to die.
Unless they do.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: The Decanter of Endless Bad Ideas
- When the team puts together a valid plan to extract a VIP from a corporation, we are no longer allowed to change the plan without telling the party shaman first. She get's "moody".
- Even if it means we later get to see the shaman try to run in a business skirt and high heels during a gun fight.
- No longer allowed to knit a "tea cozy" to disguise a live grenade.
- An Ork build averaging a 12P attack per bullet (AFTER the target rolled his soak check) with a sniper rifle is not considered the party negotiator.
- Not allowed to use a Bruce Willis movie to prove the above as plausable.
