441. I will NOT get cute with monofiliment wire or weapons in any way. The same goes for my players. Long live the truce, may we all live in one piece.
441a. Magic fingers and a monowhip IS "getting cute".
441b. So is the monowire net gun and its derivatives.
441c. So are drones with monowire strung between then moving at high speed at neck and/or ankle and/or groin height
442. The heading "yeah right" or similar on the conceilability table does NOT mean there is no roll and it is automaically hidden.
443. Essence loss is NOT to be used to "keep score"
444. Background count generated by character actions will NOT be used to "keep score"
445. The GM will NOT decline bribes.
446. Nor will they aid the players if they break any of the rules above.

447. As a GM, I will not use playtest material on my players without properly warning them first.
447a. Even if they are NDA'd and regularly playtest new material.
448. Warform, Chimeric Juggernaught biodrones are never to be used.
448a. Especially when possessed.
448b. Nor should they be used as orbital bombardment.
449. Wrapping a cow in Rating 12 Fire Resistance will not save it from burning up during bovine bombardment.
450. I will not run any games based on Tequila outside of GenCon.
451. I will not take tequila shots while running or planning for any games.

439. Avoid, when possible, bio-drone rabbits. The results are never good.

439a. Especially when said rabbit is equipped with a switch-blade
439a-I. Doubly so if the rabbit has a speaker which makes the sound "ka-klick!"
439a-Iα. Triply so if afterwards the speaker says "Time to die, nerd-boy!"

439b. If the Troll in my group starts imitating Tim The Enchanter, I DO NOT have permission to drop the Holy Hand Grenade down his shorts.
439c. If the rest of my party starts doing various scenes form Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I am NOT allowed to shoot them.
439d. If we do end up at Castle Anthrax, I'm staying behind. Naughty, evil, wicked, bad Zoot must be punished.

439c. Addendum I: The Castle Anthrax is hereby declared a cultural landmark for its peril-inducing atmosphere
439c. Addendum II: All the eightscore blondes and brunettes must be spanked. and then you know what comes next...

456. Using a fleet of helicopter gunships to stage an attack on corporate headquarters is only allowed if 'Ride of the Valkyries' is played by the GM
457. Laser weaponry is not to be used for carving letters into the moon. Regardless of whether that is feasible or not.

Reminds me of when Chairface (from The Tick) did this. Letters at that scale wouldn't be readable; there simply isn't space on the observable size of the moon. Shame.

464. No PC shall gain access to THOR shots or other futuristic weapons of mass destruction.
465. In the event I am unable to prevent such a thing from occuring without "heavy handing" it I will not stop the player from digging as deep a grave for themselves as they like by using it to break the setting over their knee.
465a. In the stupidly unlikely event the player above does not abuse the hell out of this power they shall be richly rewarded in karma, they will need it. For running away. Probably from whats left of Aztecnology. Cause who doesn't want those guys gone?
466. I will not make the big D, or any great dragon for that matter, into a dracolich with Spirit pacts and Hidden Life.
467. I will stop telling my players about the option to become immortal and unkillable by the above means solely to make them suffer unimaginably for their hubris.
467a. Killing them for hubris is still fair game though.

461a. Likewise, telling the rest of the party that God "told me I would be okay, but he's pretty sure you're fucked." is not acceptable.
461b. Especially if my character is Irish.

468. Sympathy is not next to syphilis in the dictionary
469. Sexual provocation is not what you do to the GM when you run out of edge
469. a. Nor is fellatio
469. b. Nor is dressing up as a garden gnome if that is his kink.
470. Cat ears do not make me anymore attractive
470. a. nor hide the extra 200 pounds

471. I shall not kill off this thread by posting things that cause potential players and GMs to take out their eyes.

474. I will not validate breaking the rules by saying its good roleplaying.
474a. this will not stop me, it just cannot be the only validation.
475. I will not violate common sence, logic or the laws of physics in game and validate it by saying it is in the rules.
475a. similarly: this will not stop me, it just cannot be the only validation.
476. I am not allowed to play or create a Toxic Blood shaman of an Insect spirit tradition. The aforestated character especially cannot be a vampire of any stripe. Never again Bill.

477. First things lets do, lets kill all the lawyers
478. Unless they're OUR lawyers. Those can live
479. The rules are an excuse to break reality
480. Reality is an excuse to break the rules
481. Common sense is an excuse to break reality and the rules
482. For the above reasons, the cake is a lie
483. This was a triumph
