Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* If I contract to harvest dragon parts for components, the dragon should probably be dead first.
** I would be wise not to go after parts from the two oldest dragons on the planet.
*** I probably shouldn't make befriending the dragons my opening move.
**** If I do, I should not prioritize befriending the red dragon over the gold.
***** Neither should the party paladin.
****** Getting brought into the invitation-only magical long-range chat network (thanks magic rings) between these two dragons and a top-tier campaign villain is not ideal dragon-part-harvesting strategy.
******* I should not freak out said red dragon so much that that I get a permanent bonus to intimidate against him.
******** That goes double for freaking out the red dragon WHEN HE'S STONED.
********* It is both bad dragon-harvesting strategy and bad dragon-befriending strategy to occupy a superposition between "too useful to eat" and "too irritating not to eat" titled "Shroedinger's squishy wizard".
********** At no point should I actually TELL the great wyrm red dragon that I have a contract to collect one of his body parts.
*********** If I drone on and on and on about it long enough over our communication rings, the red dragon will not teleport to my position, pluck out his own eyeball, hand it too me, get regeneration cast on him, and teleport away just to avoid further irritation.
************ HOW THE HELL DID THAT WORK????
************* Wizards are no longer allowed to have +43 to diplomacy checks at level 15 (pathfinder).
************* The next(!) time I have a great wyrm red dragon teleport into the heavily-armed military camp of my host (also a befriended top-tier villain) on a peaceful mission of organ donation, I AM TO GIVE MY HOST WARNING.
************* Though it's a proven strategy in this campaign, "Unpredictable people are hard to assassinate" does not come anywhere near fully explaining why I'm not dead yet.Last edited by Reltzik; 2019-03-03 at 01:21 AM.

* When DMing D&D 3.5, I may not announce character death with "Friend Computer activates your next clone"
** Unless it's Tomb of Horrors -- then it's just a sensible time-saver.
i actually employed that to get out of an encounter that went pear-shaped for us. we were playing whfrp2e and were in a bakery...
** If they say "a bakery", I will not just run with it
*** If I do, I will worry more about flour storage, and less about setting-appropriate pastries
**** Seriously, though, what kind of pastries do you make when your only convenient fats are olives and walnuts? I never did figure it out.
(both from actual games I DMed)Looking for a monster? Making a monster?

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
You can use olive oil instead of butter in quite a lot of pastry. Puff pastry would be difficult (albeit probably not impossible), but pie crusts, cookies, cakes, etc. are all options. Walnut oil probably would work about the same.
I’m very curious about a place large enough to have multiple shops, but has no access to animal fats. No butter, ok, no dairy critters. But surely there’s some kind of critter with fat on it that could be used for cooking.

** If a player is feeling terror when having less than 50 weapons on itself then maybe you should not ask how many weapons his character is using.
***If the answer is "I lost count here read the excell spreadsheet" or "My only weapon is love" then the gm is not supposed to be scared either.Last edited by noob; 2019-03-03 at 04:18 PM.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
i'm not saying you shouldn't have exploding goat demons in your game. all i'm saying is if you encounter a greater demon lord bound inside the body of an irate goat, don't feed it consecrated gunpowder and holy alchemist's fire to solve the problem is what i'm saying.
my group's paladin still hates me for that stunt, especially since whenever i pop explosives in pathfinder, it tends to solve most pesky problems like ecounters, interrogations, chase sequences, or the plot. the fact that this one time it actually worsened the problem is really unfortunate, and as stated before, an accident. i only had 5 lbs of gunpowder to feed the malevolent goat.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
Even if there is an infinity of diamonds the cost of getting the diamonds within your hands is not zero so even if diamond was as common as dirt the cost of getting a small mountain of diamonds within your hands would be superior to the cost of the fancy Resurrection and so you could perform it with those diamonds that have the extra value of being usable for casting the spell due to being in your hands.
At worst you can just add artistic value on the diamonds by paying 25000 gp for an artist to just sit near a furnace and melt the gold coins for "getting inspiration" in deciding how to cut the diamonds.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* My Lunar is not a literal social butterfly
** Iscomay is not "Bear Flavored Realm"
*** His name is "Ul of the Burning Eye" not "Old Man Genocide Lunar", he gets annoyed when you call him that, stop it.
**** no matter how accurate a descriptor that actually is.
* I am not a fan of Raksi, she eats babies!
** Yes she has made one of the greatest most advanced cities of the second age with running water, education, bureaucracy, a standing army, districts and so on, but she still eats babies!
*** Yes Raksi is a massive troll and its hilarious but SHE STILL EATS BABIES!
**** Eating babies is not allowed to be a plus in my book. No matter how annoying babies are.
***** "whats so bad about Raksi?" is not a question I should ever ask again.
* I am not to hug The Caul and call it an adorable landchild.
** the fact that its Gaias and Lunas love child is beside the point, its still a dangerous ever shifting landscape.
*** I am not to constantly introduce everyone to Sha'a Oka by shouting "ATTENTION EVERYONE! IIIITS TIME FOR....HIS! DIVINE! LUUUUNAAAAR PRESEEEEENCE!!" unless it before a crowd he is to make a speech.
* May not constantly quote "Whoever fights with monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." during Silver Pact meetings
** No matter how accurate it is about the Silver Pact.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* My initial description of D&D to newcomers should not be "the game where I got knocked out by a table and then killed by a rug" even if that happened. Especially if that happened.
* If I am given a magic crystal that ultimately wiped out an island nation, I should ask more questions when given a second crystal. Especially if I am neither evil nor chaotic.
* If my wizard deals direct damage precisely one time when going from levels 4 to 10, I am doing something very, very wrong.
* If a 5e halfling re-rolls a natural 1 on a perception check and rolls a 1 again, he has not, in fact, gone blind.
* A recap of the previous session for a player who missed it should take significantly less time than the session itself.
* Getting turned to stone by a basilisk is not "Karma" for stealing the paladin's kills.
* Just because you think you've triggered every single trap in the campaign so far doesn't mean you should give up attempting to solve the puzzles.
* A performance check of 25 to play the "Ghostbusters" theme still does not have a significant effect on the combat when fighting a ghost.
* Deciding how to spend 10 starting GP should not take up the lion's share of character creation.
* Attempting to intimidate a dragon after missing it three times in a row is unlikely to have much effect. Especially at level 1.
* If our party's inability to focus fire on enemies turned the last 3 encounters into near TPKs, The first round of the next combat probably shouldn't complete without a single player attacking the same enemy as the player before them.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
Fun fact, the only Shadowrun campaign I have run so far included not a single betrayal by the Johnson. There was one or two cases of Johnsons not having or giving all the information, but for the most part they were honest.
It worked brilliantly, made the players even more paranoid waiting for the betrayal.
