2748: I am not allowed to cast "Catalog" and then tell the prudish elven mage how many sex toys are in any given area, now matter how funny it is when the blush reaches the tips of her ears.

2749. When prompted for a target by a guided missile, "the naughty bits" is no longer a valid choice.

I haven't played much yet (no computer of my own), but I'll keep that in mind. I don't use VATS (I use freehand and bullet time *hugs FWE), so I'll be sure to aim for the nads ^_^ |

Vault Assisted Targeting System it's a gratuitous explanation for allowing bulletime and other assorted things in Fallout 3 it also takes your personal skill out of the equation by making things a pure mathematical chance based on your skill level.

2752. I am no longer, as a GM, allowed to use the CGL Speculation thread as a reference to 'hints' in my runs, including thread-page-post-word clues nor general "the combo is the 3rd post regarding uniformed unicorns".
2752a.I specifically am not allowed to use the legal ones in thread 7 without issuing 'long haul' to the player, forget the character. 2753. I am no longer allowed to use the names of common items (such as trees) as 'nicknames' for powerful drones when a contact tells the players about what defenses are on sight. (2 guards, four trees, and a handful of bushes...) 2753a. I am prohibited entirely from doing that as a method to get them to stop overplanning for 5 weekends a 1 weekend run. |

2755: Despite being "the finest drink any bar has had for sale",
I'm still not allowed to order pints of Three-oh-seven Ale 2756: No longer allowed to incorporate moisture activated explosives into chewing gum and only warn people of its nature with the line "Juicy Fruit: The taste is gonna move ya!" 2757: Even though I have cybereyes with Image Magnification and Vision Enhancement upgrades, I am expressly forbidden from using the phrase "Zoom in and enhance." in my best Harrison Ford impression. 2758: Being bored is no excuse to start making traps out of any materials nearby. Simply because I can make a rudementary frag mine out of pie tins, thumbtacks and shotgun shells doesn't mean I should. (This goes double for propane grill flame traps...) 2759: A high lock-pick skill does not increase my character's ability to remove bras, and certainly not just by looking at them. |

A high lock-pick skill also does not enable me to "pick my nose," nor does attempting to do so increase my skill level. In fact, doing so may just kill me. |

I'm no longer allowed to summon Darth Vader, Super Mario, both MJs (the pop star AND the basketball player,) Jesus, the Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man, Zeus, the Governator, Carl Combat Mage, Gandhi, Hitler or Abe Lincoln.
Honestly though, the GM was asking for it-- he already knew I was a smart ass. I mean, I had 20th century pop culture as an Interest Skill and my character was a Unified Magic Theorist who believed spirits were mana constructs shaped by the collective unconscious (after all, background counts form in response to events that carry emotional impact..). In other words, the more people who had ever heard of something, the easier it was to summon a(n) (un)reasonable facsimile of it. |

This goes double for [insert modern day political figure].* *I was going to say "Sara Palin, no one wants to hear her voice any more, not even in 2070" and decided that there might be some Palin supporters among us and didn't want to make this political. |

My only regret is that I never summoned a Gilbert Gottfried or Fran Drescher Great Form Beast Spirit with Paralyzing Howl. Man, that laugh.
