Things I May No Longer Do While Playing IV: Discord is NOT the BBEG

Speaking of which…
* May not have Discord show up
** May not have a dungeon designed by Discord
*** May not make everyone go insane due to said dungeon
**** Can not be surprised when entire party gets fed up with said shenanigans and is on the verge of killing each other.

No thread title ideas sorry...

But in ShadowRun...
*My Elf Mage with Body 2 is NOT allowed to outdrink the Troll Merc.
*My Elf Mage may NOT use the mains cables of a 40 story office building to 'jump start' said Trolls cyberheart when he is dying.
**Especially if I have no advanced medical training.
***Even more so when I'm one away from a 'Deadly' wound.
****Doing it without taking ANY damage myself is right out.
*My Human Merc can no longer use any sort of HMG that is attached to the Orc Riggers van.
**Especially if the Orc Rigger has "jerryrigged" a custom harness and mount for said HMG.
***Going full-auto and suffering NO recoil what so ever until the last few shots is right out. (Don't ask me how, the Riggers player did all the math and the GM agreed)
****Doing this while travelling 180m/ph down the motorway with LoneStar and Aztecnology response teams following, and hitting with every single shot is just no.
*No longer allowed to have a Human Street Sam based off Quentin Tarantino characters.
**Nor off Robert Rodriguez characters.
*My Elf Merc is no longer allowed to carry di-coated Gladius'.
**Deul Wielding them is right out.
***Especially if he uses them similar to this.

Were you using Edge, or was the troll just really unlucky and got a critical glitch or something?

This was about 9-10 years ago.
I can't remember exactly what pool I rolled from, but I needed an 8 to succeed in just touching him with the cables, had 2 dice, both of them came up 6's, then I got a 5 and a 1.
And no, he just got shot to hell and back (remote sentry turrets). The Shaman (who had First Aid) stopped his bleeding but the shock caused his cyberheart to stop. The party "Medic" was another Merc who was down due to stun, all I could think of was "need a big electric shock", lucky (and kinda coincidental) the building fuse box was in the alleyway we had dragged him into.

You've got my vote!

*My bard is not Pinkie Pie
**Any characters even resembling Pinkie Pie will be summarily executed.
** I do not have a party cannon, or any other manner of celebratory munition.
***Bass cannons are forbidden as well.
*I may not play a drow wizard whose only spell is prismatic spray.
**Especially if her name is Twilight Sparkle.
*Anything mimicking ponies shall be smitten with extreme prejudice
**Unless it's Trixie. Trixie's cool.

*I may not have a fez.

If only this was the fifth thread. Then it could be

*I am not a robot. I am not a unicorn, either.
**If I break the second sentence in the above rule, and am also a wizard, I may not be purple.
***If I break that rule as well, then I still may not use the same name as anyone else fitting the same bizarre description.
****Unless, of course, that given name describes the dm's setting, and the corresponding surname is something a certain form of undead does in it when it should be turning to ash. In such a case... he deserves it.
*****Especially if he claimed it would be a serious campaign.

I really want to get that but I do not. Is it a reference to Charlie the Unicorn? I don't remember what he looked like.

It starts as a reference to one of the main characters in the current generation of My Little Pony. The characters name is Twilight Sparkle. Which he ends as a reference to the Twilight Book/Movie series. The one's with the Vampires that sparkle in the sun light instead of burning.

Those aren't Vampires

1. Sparkles
2 Lives in forest
3 Are vegetarians

They're pixies.

That seems far more apropos to a "... While DMing" thread.


I really gotta say the Decanters of Endless X seems like the best one so far.
