Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
Times being what they are, the stars aligning and the End of All Things barely registered as background noise.
At a bit of a loss as to what to do next, and with bills to pay, a certain Elder Thing has taken up bartending.
This is...

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
Eh, he's missing the other kinds of good and evil, mostly because Discworld is one step short of melodrama. It's entirely possible for an evil person to have no enjoyment of having others at their mercy, or for good people to drag it out with attempts at redemption. Vetinari is probably a good example of the former, he enjoys giving you a theatrical death but once you're at his mercy he doesn't hesitate. It all comes down to pragmatism, with Vimes and Vetinari showcasing the 'good' and 'evil' sides. Carrot meanwhile errs more towards an idealistic theatrical good, although with heavy hints that he might actually be as pragmatic as Vimes (notably he is the one in Men At Arms who just gets it over with) while the villains of Watch books trend towards theatrical evil.

To be fair, that was from Vimes’ perspective.
Also Vetinari isn’t that bad of a man, honestly.Cool elan Illithid Slayer by linkele.

* Pokeballs are not a weapon of mass destruction
** "Rocks fall; everyone dies" is what DMs say when they're sick of a campaign, not what players say when they want to clear some territory of monsters.
*** The correct response to Earth being overrun with monsters is not to terraform Mars
**** I may not break the DM's mind with overpowered exploits before the campaign even begins.Looking for a monster? Making a monster?

The words "Lovecraftian" or "Geigeresque" should never be used to describe any aspect of my character.

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
* If the character sheet is 74 pages long, no one is ever going to read it
* If my character can legitimately consider long-running comic book characters weak in comparison to them, they're not allowed
* May not become a being devoted to copying, stealing, devouring and generally collecting powers, memories, appearances, items and so on just because I'm indecisive about my identity and want to try things out
** May not use my replication powers to make two duplications of a unique weapon to dual-wield against the person wielding the original
* May not create a "chicken pox" that actually turns people into chickens
** May not use it on the enemy army
*** May not enhance it to become a Cuccoo pox
**** May not defeat the leader of the enemy army with a swarm of cuccoos transformed from their own men

But you may shout out "I'm Cuccoo for Cuccoo pox" while you battle them, right?

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
* The Numidium Vs the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann will probably just result in the surrounding reality being destroyed by reality-breaking shenanigans
** Combining the Numidium and Spiral Power is just completely ridiculous
* May not use vast Jumper powers to create a race of lesbian monster girls loyal to me
** May not begin conquering worlds with them and offer people to become one of them with magic
*** May not offer healing to people that turns them more monster girl the more it heals them
* May not create an artificial universe just to test what happens when someone divides by zero in it
* Even if my Stand is to switch the places of subjects and objects, may not go around switching random things for comedic effect
** May not switch anyone's food with a bomb
*** Especially if it makes my enemies exclaim "YOUR FOOD JUST BECAME A BOMB! OOOOH NOOOOOOO!!!" Joseph Joestar style
* My options for empowering other people may not be "become an Exalt" "become a planeswalker" "become immortal" or "become mythical progenitor of a new species of your own creation"
** may not take options to become an anyone-absorbing, infinite clone replicating, supernatural disease creating, shapeshifting hivemind

Re: Things I May No Longer Do While Playing 14: The DM is not my therapist.
* May not be someone with Rogue's powers plus some way of extending and multiplying limbs to grab as many people as possible
* May not go into superhero universes just to teach FMA Alchemy so people can make bread out of grass
** May not point out that FMA Alchemy is safer than most superhero powers, as its rules are known and easily followed, its abuses are easily identifiable and the worst things it can do require a lot of knowledge of how it works and very big transmutation circles to make work requiring centuries to properly set up.
* the mastermind behind everything may not be a dog from an alternate timeline
