* Setting a fire-resistant D&D character on fire is fine. Setting a fire-resistant LARP character on fire is not.

**Yelling "DEUS VULT!" and "FOR THE GLORY OF GOD" in character is also frowned upon for stealth missions

*Am never again to refer to Jörmungandr as "Weapons grade Sashimi." That just makes the DM cry.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
* As a Gamemaster, it is a very poor form for me to make the PCs fight boss battles at the very first encounters of the campaigns.
** It is even poorer form to pit a group of PL 10 characters against a PL 14 Powerhouse.
*** It doesn't matter if they managed to survive and beat the PL 14 boss by the end of the first / beginning of the second round.
**** Nor does it matter that the PCs managed to take out the boss (in a different campaign) before the combat encounter could even begin!!!
***** If I'm gonna have bosses with Immunity 80 (Toughness), Limited to Half Effect, I should save them for the end of an adventure.
****** Maybe it would be easier to just ban the Variable power instead. Seriously, what was I thinking?

* May not spend the entire campaign locked in a room with 8 inch thick steel walls, a 10 inch thick steel door, an internet connection,a cyberdeck, and 37 months of food.
** No deckers.
* My Rigger must have strategies other than 'more drones'.
** Under no circumstances can I ship my drones.
*** 'Gnomey McGnomeface' is a bit on the nose as a name.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
*just because it works for the us army does not mean it's an acceptable strategy in rpg's.
**if my pc summons a flight of fighter-bombers loaded with napalm, it better be in a setting with airplanes.
***a flight of dragons loaded with greek fire is in poor taste in fantasy settings.
**** you know what? warn the dm before calling in air strikes.
*"flight of the valkyries" is preemptively banned from the rpg playlist.

*** If I've banned gnomes, but created a cat race that tinkers and lives in hilly terrain, then all I've really done is given the campaign a cuter and more flammable gnome.
** I many not disguise emojis as 'Modern Egyptian'.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
* The party therapist is no longer allowed to be the one best able to inflict sanity damage.
** The party healer is no longer allowed to be the best assassin when we have a hitman and redneck Henderson in the party
*** Said therapist and healer cannot be the same character
**** If the party is attempting to assassinate someone, the healer is no longer allowed to hang out with the party crafter and munch on popcorn instead of helping
***** Bets on how things are going to mess up are poor form
****** Even if I get phenomenal cosmic power if I'm right
* The healer is no longer allowed to try insane suicidal stunts
** Must take a session between derailments so the plot can actually move forward
* The party luck mage is no longer allowed to snap his neck skateboarding due to a bad roll

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
* May not pass the ranger's tiger companion off as a circus animal to explain why it's following the party around.
** Definitely not allowed to use said tiger as a street performer.
*** From now on, the ranger's only allowed to teach his tiger combat tricks.
* "Frogs" is not the plural noun for Grippli.
** It's not the plural noun for a froghemoth, either.My Homebrew

*If the game features a trial, I am not allowed to have the plot be based on Legally Blonde.
**If we choose to sing There! Right There! while playing at the local gameshop, we should at least wait until the couple of gay customers exit the shop.
***That they sang along even through our slightly changed lyrics does not excuse us from the second point.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
*strings of expletives must be used after a plan has backfired, not as the plan itself (again)
**if player action provokes a string of expletives, run. don't stand around pointing fingers (again)
***if the dm provokes strings of expletives from the players, run. don't stand around flipping off the fourth wall (again)
* "nope" (and all variants) is not a valid description.
** "screw that thing" is not a valid description.
*** "future victim", while distateful and possibly pretentious, is authorized for omnicidal characters trying to find a valid description.
a couple more from my campaign:
*the following are not ashtrays: npc's, passing children, corpses, rats, rat-human hybrids, rat-spider hybrids, flammable substances, future victims, pc's (and their possessions), berets (despite proof to the contrary).
*the proper response to seeing a teammate getting traumatically amputated is "aw crud, you ok?", not "AGAIN?! you clumsy idiot!"
*rampaging with an oversized monkey wrench while wearing only a beret? never again.
*while sniper rifles can be used to such extent, they don't automatically confer a bonus on intimidation checks.
**neither do shotguns.
*** there is no such thing as "flamethrower diplomacy".

Challenge accepted!
* I may not mine the magical blue diamond veins we discovered.
** Those were just to look cool, not to be turned into treasure!
*** Even if it would really help out the outpost we're establishing.
**** No, I do not get XP equal to the value of the diamonds!
***** Giving one magic blue diamond to the pseudodragon that adopted me is acceptable.Warhammer 40,000 Campaign Skirmish Game: Warpstrike

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XI: I May Not Postpone Naming My Thread
i'd love to, but i'm banned flamethrowers... i'll get the beatstick of the band on it, though ^^
... or the techie, they come equipped with a one-shot flamethrower/ welding torch as standard class accoutrements. when i proposed the idea to (iirc) "toast the ingrate and be done with it", the dm said that phrase pretty verbatim (ultimately, we robbed him blind and he thanked us for it...)
did i mention we're the "good guys" of that universe?
*as much as it feels appropriate, no quoting unreal tournament phrases. especially after the non-com of the band frags 9 people in a row bare-handed.
** it's not a "killing spree", it's the dice gods wreaking havoc on the dm's plans.
*** "monster kill" is only to be said when we scrag a monster. not after slaughtering an orphanage (for the 8th time)

* Not allowed to bring the serial killer home.
** No matter how tragic his backstory is.
*** Not even if he probably fits in better in your world than his.
**** Also not allowed to "sibling adopt" the serial killer.

***** weapons cannot be named the following: contract, introspection, terms and agreements, parlay, discussion, peace pipe (even if it's a length of pipe), pacificator
****** "low-tech mind control" is not an ancient barbarian custom.
*percussive maintenance works on objects, not people, despite evidence to the contrary.
