Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 13: This Is A Banned List Not A Drinking Game

[thorr-kan]

* I am not to brag about already having had my copy of GGG for weeks.

Oh, you're one of THOSE...(In Europa-proper, for those not paying attention. GGG shipped from the UK.)

I have my pdf. It is enough. For now.

Unless they released an updated version, 'm pretty sure that Gurps Discworld is based on an earlier edition.

Like, it was apparently outdated when I got it back in middle school.

Discworld and Discworld Also are for GURPS 3E. But it was released again as a combined GURPS 4E version, containing both Discworld and Discworld Also updated to 4E.

* not allowed to breakfast in Baator on double decker demon bacon burgers even though the service is terrible.

Wait a sec, they have bacon in Baator? Looks like our vacation plans need a review.

(As an added thought, why does "Bacon in Baator" sound like the name of my next album, anyway?)

It's devilishly good!

*If we are not playing scion or Exalted, I cannot play an actual divinity with worshipers.
**I cannot conduct religious ceremonies as both high priest and deity.
*** "Free Hugs" cannot be part of my religion.

*In a modern setting such as Scion or Exalted vs The World of Darkness, my divine or semi-divine status does not exempt me from paying taxes.

[KorvinStarmast]

* I may no longer refer to the market for ores in our D&D 5e campaign as the Dao Jones futures index.

**I cannot conduct religious ceremonies as both high priest and deity.

I don't see why not. Most deities are very old, compared to mortals, and old folk are known to talk to themselves. (Yes we are!)

*If we are not playing scion or Exalted, I cannot play an actual divinity with worshipers.

I don't see why not. I'm sure you could fit that into Nobilis with ease, and there's a Fate setting literally based around this.

Not to mention various superhero RPGs that this would fit into nicely.

'A god, or the next best Thing' is relatively rare for RPG characters, but there's several games that do it pretty well. You could even extend this to corebook-only In Nomine or other games where you play divine beings but not literal god's.

Yeah. Especially given that one of the most popular superheroes in the media these days is literally Thor

I may have chosen poorly in my wording.

The intent was a ban on having a religion based about your character that you actively partiicpate in and benifet from.

This is abnormal? If I was a god this would be like the eighth thing on my list (after 'create enchanted forest in the middle of London').

...Wouldn't that kill and/or dehome a lot of people?

I'm not a savage, I'll move London outwards while doing it!

[Asmotherion]

* I am no longer allowed to play an enchanter, even if taunted by an other player that enchantment is the weakest school.
** Using Charm Person on my own party to have them see things my way is not the way to go.
*** I should not chain-enchant an army.
**** I should not Dominate Monster the BBEG of the Campaign mid evil monologue.

[Rater202]

*In a marvel superheroes game, I can't play as a genetically engineered eternal/deviant/mutant/kree/inhuman/Asgardian hybrid with super-soldier serum.
**Especially if I just my only powers are the generic baseline abilities of such hybrid physiology.

***May not leave the celestials off of the list

[Rater202]

***May not leave the celestials off of the list

I mean I don't think they have DNA. They're energy beings inhabiting physical bodies composed of highly advanced magitech. Their "blood" is cosmic fire. Their hearts are teleporters and their brains are quantum supercomputers.

[Bohandas]

Wasn't Star Lord the son of a Celestial?

[Lord Raziere]

@ Bohandas: in the movies yes, in the comics no. in the comics, Star Lord is the son of J'son, the Spartax Emperor at the time. movie Star Lord is very different from comic book Star Lord. (for one comic book star Lord has actual superpowers)

* May not send birds dual-wielding swords in their talons at the players.
** a miner with a red hot mining pick should not be this hard to fight
*** random soldiers may not just suddenly breathe fire
**** all the enemies in a room may not be randomly invisible.
***** Summoning a jellyfish to poison my enemies is not the solution to all my problems

[Rater202]

Wasn't Star Lord the son of a Celestial?

In the movie he was the son of Ego the Living Planet, who claimed to be a Celestial... But we later see more comics typical Celestials, putting that into question.

But in the comics, he's mortal.

...Eventually, he gains phenomenal cosmic power as a result of the use of his element gun, which was what his orignal creator always intended for him, but he's the son of an Earthling human and a human-like alien.

And even that's a retcon on the part of Brian Michael Bendis, who was trying to force the Comics guardians to be more like the Movie Guardians and was generally considered to be a bad thing. Before that, he was completly human.

Currently, Peter, Gamora, and Richard Rider(the original Nova) are very heavily implied to be a bisexual thrupple.

I thought the term was triad?

* I cannot insist that the entire party is in a polycule.

[Bohandas]

I thought the term was triad?

I think the term is menage a trois

[Anonymouswizard]

I think the term is menage a trois

I thought that was for engagements, not the campaign?

[Rater202]

A troll with three heads is not a Menage a troll.

[Anonymouswizard]

* Despite what the rulebook says I cannot be dying of:
-seemingly innocuous coughs
-rabbits
-mint sauce
-sex
-rejection
-surgery
-accidents at work
-opera

[Rater202]

It's been said before, but I really need to stop coming up with ways to play creepy, abnormally intelligent children with otherwordly power.

*I may not derail the game right at the very start by asking everyone what their favorite new Pokemon starter is.
**The answer is obviously Fuecoco, we didn't need half an hour of discussion on this topic.

*** May not reply with "No its Sprigatito you-" followed by a hour of sailor level cursing and insults for no reason
**** May not extend an olive branch to Fuecoco lovers by saying at least neither of us like the duck, that one just looks silly
***** May not follow this up with two hours of denying that anyone could actually like the duck
