*May not point out that a trip to a Bass Pro or Cabela’s could have solved, like, 90% of the problems another party had in a monster-hunting scenario.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
Made up events (as opposed to real pretend events)
*I may not base my barbarian around Thurston Howell III
**Thurston Howell Jr. and Sr. are not sufficiently different character concepts.
**When the DM said I could base my character around theprofessorandmaryann, she meant either, or perhaps as a character and a cohort, not as one gestalt.
*While a LBQT+ character is fine; the + does not include pyrophilia.
*I am not allowed to convince enemies to have a dance battle instead of an actual battle.
**The DM doesn't care about any historical precedent I can cite.
**If we lose, we can't abandon the main quest, even if I'm lawful, and even if I gave my word.
*My bard is not required to trash the room at the inn.
*My bard is not immune to explosions just because he's looking the other way.
*My bard may not start every personal story with "This one time, at bard camp?"
*My character may not speak in only "Groot".
*My Drowtales character can't have a human as an animal companion.
*My dwarf does not have a tunneling speed of half his walking speed.
*I do not need a special feat to put an item down without picking another up.
*While the city of Baltimore has character, it is not an appropriate character concept.
*The material component of the fireball spell is not 2 oz of cinnamon whiskey.
*I must pick my alignment from one of the nine standard options; I cannot be a non-utilitarian, virtuist, dentologist, anarchist.
*In some situations it's appropriate to kill a goblin on sight; this does not apply to PCs.
**This is especially inappropriate if it's not the first meeting.
*While it may be appropriate for my chaotic evil character to kill someone to take their possessions, I must first consider saying "please pass the salt.".
*Engaging the services of professional mediator automatically qualifies as "rules lawyering", professional title not withstanding.
*Druid circle meetings are not clothing optional.
*I am not allowed to posses any chemical that ignites water or sand.
**I am not allowed to trick the DM into banning hydrogen-hydroxide.
*My character with multiple personalities doesn't get two shares of XP.
*My character's alignment can't change every time I prepare spells.
*Yes, Superman is weak against pieces of the planet he his from. No, my human superhero can't be weak against pieces of the Earth.
*I may not base my character on anyone from Homestar Runner.
*A half orc is not to an orc what a halfling is to a human.
**A half orc is not human from the waist up, orc from the waist down.
**A half orc does not have one human head, one orc head.
*I am not to ask mermaids if they have human or fish genitals.
**No spot check, search check, or divination will resolve this.
As DM
*Most objects must be non-mimics
**The vast majority of floor tiles, ceilings, and walls can't be mimics.
**I'm not allowed to have a bunch of regular rooms, and than one room where the floor is just 100 mimics over a bottomless pit.
*If I do a Discworld setting, I must explicitly inform the players; I cannot pass it off as "generic fantasy".
*I must allow detect traps to find, not only intentionally built traps, but shoddy construction and industrial hazards.
*If I'm doing a barter economy, I must get player buy-in before hand.
**I should give the players some indication if the gold and silver they are gathering is worthless rather than waiting till they get to town and letting them discover they need to pay for the inn in rabbits skins.
**In a cyber-punk setting, it's theme breaking for the hotel to require payment in rabbit skins.
**I should put some mechanism to acquire rabbit skins into that game.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
When DMing...
When a character insults the ork cyber-monk Elvis impersonater...
When said ork picks up the guy in heavy power armor and throws him at the insulting character...
When the thrown space marine hits him in the head for half his wounds...
I may not play the boot-to-the-head song and do a victory dance.
Someday I'm pretty sure I won't be allowed to say "The cyber-ninja T-rex full-autos the missile pods it's dual weilding.", but it won't be until the PCs go back and annoy the Cocaine Wizard Guild again.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
*May not randomly cast enlarge person on the gnome bard trying to get into the pants of a only body paint wearing druid/side spirit bear attendant
** Especially it you only cast it because the bard is a pc.
***That I haven't met yet in-game.
****Shrugging of his return spell will only make his revenge more creative
*****The fact that the bard woke up the next morning sore from a "fun"night with a strong bear-totem barbarian woman does not make it any better.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
I can't get Ninja in there, but this sounds like just another caper for Cyberious Rex from the canon Mutants and Masterminds setting.
Also, glad everyone enjoyed Time Slapper.
From my new Changeling: The Lost game:
* The Storyteller is not comforted that i "can only roll once a day" when my Persuasion pool exceeds 12 dice.
* "I didn't combine this with Sympathetic" should not be a defense.
* "I'll make a viral video to frame this as a prank" should not be the first idea when trying to cover up the Werewolf's ill planned exorcism.
* Even with five successes, it won't really keep the cops from figuring it out. The Storyteller is obviously throwing the Werewolf a bone. I should not point it out ir make that joke again.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
In 3.5e at least, glasses probably aren't enough to use Disguise anyways... I think. Probably the same for 5e - actually, can someone clarify? I wonder if someone with an epic bonus or whatever can get around that...

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
I may not combine the hideous Xmas sweater vest, Hawiian shirt, pink twinkle light glasses, and tight leather kilt in order to demonstrate that making people's eyes bleed is a valid form of disguise.
I may not attempt anything involving the words "kilt", "regimental", and "flamethrower".

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
* If my Changeling's Breaking Point is eating people because she was the mermaid who had to lure sailors to her Keeper's island for his feasts; I should not end up rolling Clarity every session. Unless my GM runs like its a Slasher flick.
* The Gm was annoyed that the one Session he took pains to make me not see a disfigured, eaten corpse, i had to roll due to the Fairest curse. Note, someone was still eaten this session, i just didn't witness it.

*May not constantly push back the start date of the campaign because I acquired four feral kittens that needed to be tamed, and that my adult cat doesn’t get along with.
**Especially can’t delay the start date for several months.
***At some point I need to start the game or cancel it.
****Five cats is a lot of cats.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing XII: A Thousand-Yard Stare is not Permiss
When you’ve been used to only having one cat for years, and suddenly also get four hyperactive feral kittens that need tamed, it’s a lot of cats. I’ve got three of them friendly now and I’m working on the fourth. Mind you, I’m not looking to adopt any of them out or anything; I like the crazy little gremlins and I’m gonna keep them around. But they’re a handful.
