Just don't play "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. Even if your out numbered 10 to 1.

No. For that I'd play Tesla's Love Song "Love is all around you... Love is knocking... at your front door". :D

I'm not allowed to replace a Berserker's hatchet with a gigantic rolled up newspaper when fighting the Wolves.

The problem is that apparently a lot of other people have already tried reserving that right ahead of me.

Coating my mech in Vaseline won't give enemy BA and infantry a penalty to Swarm attacks.

I dunno, I'd allow it.

Fair warning: if I'm GMing, you'd only be able to find flammable lubricants. >:D

Would they also make the unit more mobile in Heavy Urban Terrain?

:-X
I will not give the evil GM a copy of Grimtooth's traps.

I will especially not mark which ones could probably work on BattleMechs.

If, by some chance, I did either of these, I will not accept a job as a Merc unit investigating
an old Castle Brian on some backwater(now) world, regardless of how much money (or
percentage of salvage) is being offered.

:-X :-\ :-X

I've spent the last five minutes but any response I think of treads close to breaking Rule 1

I have been again informed that this game is supposed to be about mutual fun for all players involved and that I am not to engage in any plan or trap that takes longer to describe the details and contingencies of a death trap or operation than would be acceptable during a standard gaming session length... even if it is being done outside of game during long commutes.

Calling for fire support and air support is a normal and respectable practice. The time we breached a dam and flooded the valley justified the call for water support. Engineering teams building fortifications might be even construed as earth support. But any attempts to call for "heart support" will be met with an immediate and permanent loss of radio privileges.

StCptMara · « **Reply #764 on:** 02 August 2015, 21:21:04 »

You know, sometimes read ths thread and think "I would love to be in these people's games."
Sometimes I think "These people scare me, and I should probably be terrified to be in their games."
And, sometimes I think "Wow..these people are amateurs! I cannot believe the GM really moved that
to a 'Do not.'"

At least when I told one player in my group he was no longer allowed to play a rogue, it was after about
3 years of him making any sort of rogue/thief/shinobi/whathaveyou be so dangerous it hogged the spotlight..

If that was D&D or Pathfinder, the GM was doing something wrong. There are so freaking many ways to completely shut down a rogue it's not funny. I mean, seriously, like 40% of the Monster Manual is immune to sneak attack.

I've spent an entire module where creatures are immune, attack in a manner that avoids flank, etc. And just before the module started, two of us bought Outflank (Teamwork Feat) - haven't used it once.
To make things worse, there are a lot of aquatic encounters. And my Ifrit Rogue is afraid of water.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #767 on:** 03 August 2015, 10:48:58 »

A lot of people I played with never realized this, but having any level of concealment at all prevented Sneak Attacks. A potion of Blur makes you immune.

I'm no longer allowed to play a necromancer/chef.

Evidently, veal and human flesh taste surprisingly similar. I can only imagine the party's reaction when you use the wrong meat, and end up making an undead cow-beast instead of the human zombie you intended to make.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #769 on:** 03 August 2015, 23:44:11 »

Actually, it's pork and human flesh that taste similar (unsurprising, really, when you consider that pigs are omnivores like humans). This is why human meat is called "long pig" in some cannibal societies.

But the real issue was what I did at the king's banquet. When necromancer cooks, dinner eats you! >:D

AD&D 2nd Edition, and Pathfinder...and would you believe that this guy wasn't using sneak attack, at all?
There are so many other things rogues can do than just sneak attack...and then he got Alchemist levels to
go with it all..

I'm not allowed to drop kick the "plot" across room with a Griffin Battlemech, splattering her across the wall.
She was Manei Domini-like person, nearly killed entire party on a dead world, she had it coming!

I decided I can no longer allow my players to determine what their characters find when looting/rummaging through residential areas. Every time I have all they had their characters look for and find was booze, cigarettes, and porno. Every. Single. Time. No matter the game or situation.

Any time I have a player who wants to obsessively search for something to the point of interfering with the game, I have him find a copy of The Big Book of Killer Jokes.
