Frag CanRay, why cant i play in games like that......and i agree, and with that in mind:

4051: As GM i am not allowed to put the fear of the gods into my players by starting with Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddlw" and then moving into Dragonforce's "Valley of the Damned" or "Soldiers of the Wasteland"

4052: I am not allowed to simultaneously develop an airborne HMHVV variant and a magic-derived drug that suppresses the symptoms of HMHVV.
4052A: No matter how good the profit margins would be
4052B: I am also not allowed to develop either of these things seperately

Working on ideas for Nas, actually...

...4053: and never ever ask the surly gnome mage with a Charisma of 1 as to why he needs a poster for the old flatvid Willow, lawn darts, and a blow up doll to complete the next mission.

4054: I am no longer allowed to make characters based off of Discworld.
4054a: Nor am I allowed to make cat-shaped claymore mines.
4054b: Vimes cannot be made for 400 BP. Maybe with 600.
4054c: Granny Weatherwax, same.
4054d: Susan Sto Helit cannot be made, period.
4054e: Vetinari is a Great Dragon, and is right out.
4054f: Just stop writing now.

4055: Excepting that thou then, proceed, to three.

4056: I'm not allowed to necro silly threads like any more.
4057: I am no longer allowed to sacrifice troll strippers to hungry ghoul packs to pay for a team mates' life and safe passage through their territory.

we fart in your general direction!

4056: I am not allowed to chunky salsa teammates without warning

4056a: Nor am I allowed to chunky salsa teammates even with a warning.

4056b: Making Chunky Salsa "Because I'm bored" is a bad idea.
4056b-I: It's a really bad idea if it's "Because I'm bored and needed to use the Plastic Explosives I had before their 'Best By' date."

4057: Shooting Ghouls with a cannon is not considered sporting
4057a: Shooting Ghouls out of a cannon is not considered sporting
4058: If a character is best described as "looking like an eldritch horror from beyond the veil of time and space" then, no, it may not be the team face

These are correctly numbered





These I corrected.

4061: I am no longer allowed to wrap an arm around Brackhaven (as he sits in a bloodied puddle of despair, we just having foiled all his plans after two years in the same campaign) and tell him everything is going to be alright.
4061a: It is not okay to seed him with totally non-Brackhaven-esque ideas (promoting ethnic and meta diversity, mainly) while he is in this fragile emotional and mental state.
4061b: While Lonestar would be eternally grateful, I am not to attempt to get them their job back.
4061c: Telling him to devote resources to creating an "Independent Seattle - IN SPACE!" is right out as well. Mars couldn't handle it anyways.

4062: I am not allowed to make an adept with Missile Mastery and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nuyen.gif) 250,000 worth of safe doors.

4063: If the character is a bigger firearms or explosives enthusiast than I am, it's immediately disallowed.
4063a: If the characters matches me in those areas, it's really, really pushing it.

To an American, a Canadian firearms enthusiast just sounds odd :-/

That's because most Canadians you hear about come from Southern and Urban Canada, who are in the "ALL GUNS ARE TEH EVILZ!!!" category, knowing about them only when they hear about gang violence. (Or, worse, hear gang violence first-hand.), and are firmly in the belief that firearms should only be in the hands of Policemen (And maybe the Military.). Completely ignoring the fact that we're right next door, across a nearly unguarded border with one of the largest firearms manufacturers in the world, and that all the laws in the world aren't going to affect criminals who see disobeying said laws being just another job perk.

Northern and Rural Canada, you get quite a few gun nuts, particularly as the "Family Deer/Moose/Trespasser Rifle" was originally a "Battle Rifle" from World War I/II or Korea. Not as bad as me, mind. I'm scary even for those folks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

The current laws, however, is really putting a kibosh on thoughts of getting a license, however.

As for the explosives part: I grew up in a mining town. Everyone in the city has an uncle or a cousin or some such that works for the mines and works with explosives, not to mention the money that can be made in prospecting as a hobby. Moving to a major city in a farming area, however, has reminded me how rare that knowledge is outside of my former community, and how much even knowledge of something as simple as the fact that Dynamite and TNT are not the same will scare people.

4064: I am no longer allowed on my pulpit, even if I'm being asked to do so. Keep things on topic.

Change explosives to martial arts and you've got me.

Surprisingly, Martial Arts is pretty common here. But that's probably due to all the refugees and their cultures coming over, including self defense forms.

All we've got here are the guys who're all "RAWR! MMA! I'M A BIG OLE BADASS!" I know nothing about grappling, I just know the moves they don't allow in MMA. So many great striking points, so little time.

I didn't mean "Canadians can't be gun nuts" or "All Canadians hate guns"; I just know enough about Canadian anti-gun laws that a Canadian gun lover seems a bit incongruous to me.

Joint locks are your friends, and their complete and utter pain. From what I've heard, I haven't seen a dojo since I was a youngin'.

4065: Just because it's disallowed in every major sport (Other than rugby) does not mean it's disallowed in a Shadowrun.
4065a: "The Seattle Handshake" is not a kick to the crotch. It's a surprise elbow smash to the nose, a kick to the knee, and a repeated curb stomping. The kick to the crotch is "The Gotham City Handshake".

4066: If it's against the rules in combat sports, I should learn it. MMA rulebooks are an easy source of dirty tricks.

4066a If you want Tournament Martial Arts, learn Karata or Tae Kwan Do.
4066b If you want to break someone's thumb and gouge out his eyes, learn Kung Fu, or Krav Maga.

Krav Maga is teh shit [sic] ^_^
