Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
Because people find my use of arbitrary units weird for some reason. I'll latch onto anything convenient if it'll simplify calculations.
Real people don't always like it when you point out their their height/weight is a really useful number. Even if you got the information directly from them.
Using characters as units, that's fair game. One bard being equal to 103 illegitimate births and all.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I can understand that.
* I'm no longer allowed to have a particular bard NPC who is directly related to a significant portion of a nation's half-elf population. Especially since he did so by being immune to ageing[1] and "interfacing" at multiple points along the way.
[1] he's not immortal, he just doesn't age. Not particularly strong either, just has ~250 years of blackmail on everyone and is really really good at running away.Dawn of Hope: a 5e setting. http://wiki.admiralbenbo.org

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
It's been a while, I think it only came up two or three times. I remember one particular NPC being something like 800 milliThogs (the name wasn't Thog, but I don't recall it.) And after it had come up several times, the party wizard screwed up really badly, at which point the barbarian proceeded to call him the KiloThog for the rest of the adventure.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
Neither am I. but apparently they exist they're 2e though, so not really in my good books just from that alone, while Nocturnals are basically proto-Getimians without the more reality-breaking aspects, so less interesting now.
* My Water Aspect Magistrate may not have an Archon that is a Night Caste who is still loyal to her magistrate
**My Magistrate may not team up with the All-Seeing Eye, the outcastes of Paisap's Stair, the disenfranchised of the Blessed Isle, and the Cadet houses to form an alliance against the Great Houses so they can make a more fair Realm while freeing slaves and truly reform the system rather than just replacing one Empress with another.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
System author edition:
* The combat system should be more detailed than "make opposing violence rolls"
* There is no need for a "perspective on theodicy" line on the character sheet
* The language learning rules should not specify different DCs for different real-world languages based on grammatical complexity
** And definitely not based on phonemics
* The most accessible spell should not be Kill Self

It is the motto of the Possum Lodge, the fictional fraternal organization whose HQ was the setting for the Red Green Show, which was a comedy framed as a cable-access show from remote rural Canada.
After stating their motto, members would recite "The Man's Prayer": "I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess."Last edited by SpyOne; 2021-06-23 at 12:52 AM.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I don't see anything wrong with that. Although I do hope that the language rules take into account language families as well.
Killing yourself with magic should logically be very easy. Like, just do something random, chances are you kill yourself.
* I cannot require players to buy the literacy skill per language.
** Especially if the game doesn't have a literacy skill.
*** Cannot penalise characters for not taking points in penmanship.
My own game design ones:
* My post-apocalypse game should include a table of useful mutations.
** It cannot instead have a discussion of the realistic consequences of exposure to high radiation levels and a take of random magic/,psionic powers.
* My game should make a distinction between massive and psionics.
** No, it doesn't matter if nobody in the setting would.
* A light pistol should be able to inflict damage on an endgame character.
** Inflicting damage should kill characters.
* Should finish the first draft of the game before posting about it on threads.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking
I think that might depend on which kind of magic and how magic in general works in the setting, but most of the time it can't be harder to kill yourself unless it also gives you resistance/immunity to it.
Also might not be related to that guy's point but if the highest probability result of using magic in a system is "die" and magic is supposed to be reasonably accessible by PCs then you're probably doing something wrong.
