Re: Another 2000 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG
127. I must not try to convince the players that a certain African dictator
watched the Swan Upping ceremony while visiting London and was so im- pressed that he decided to introduce such a ceremony in his homeland, where unfortunately the presence of too many crocodiles caused a lack of suitable waterfowl, which forced him to replace the swans with hippos, leading to a quite spectacular yearly ceremony where elderly officials in historical costumes with powdered whigs perform the Hippo Upping. Come on, everybody and his brothers and sisters have swans in their cere- monies, this is utterly boring, but those silly players really refused to honor my creative attempts to add some nice local color to the setting. Bah. |

128. I am no longer allowed to offend players by creating NPCs who are cariacatures of the players and using them to mock the players til they lose their temper.
128a. This is especially true if the player in question is the Girlfriend of the guy whose house we game at. 128b. I am also never allowed to use the 'It's only a game; grow up' excuse to defend such an action as described above. 128c. If the female cries, I can expect to be ejected from the group for a while ... even though female gamers are supposed to be treated the exact same as male gamers. |

Hey, you'd probably be ejected from the game if you made one of the guys cry, too...

129. I am not allowed to start campaigns before I have a fully-fleshed out document explaining the nature of the world and the 'what you already know' information available for the players to read through.
129. (b) I am not allowed to tell my players that the game is going to be a mash-up heroes from all sorts of genres (sort of like the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) and turn this into a multi-dimensional The Prisoner campaign... no matter how fun it may have been in the end.

130b. I am not allowed to add 'Ranged' and 'Affects others' to about 10 levels of Magic resistance to allow me to neutralize enemy spellcasters in a DF setting. 130c. I am not allowed to add 'Ranged' and 'Affects others' to my PCs Incompetence (driving) to force drivers of other vehicles off the road. Especially if I took about 10 levels of this incompetence. |
