OK, we've seen the list of things Mr. Welch is not allowed to do at his table:
http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/750_things_M...ger_do_in_a_RPG Back on the old Wizards Board we kept adding things on to that list, mostly D&D and D20 Modern related. I was thinking we should do a Shoadowrun verson of this list. I'll start: 1. There is no great dragon named Trogdor. 2. My PC is not "Proud to be a bunraku from Renraku" 3. I am not allowed to ever learn the spell Orgy ever again. 4. My Bastet is not "In ur node, steeling yur paydataz" 5. I am not allowed to use the Trogdor song to describe any of the great dragons. 6. There are no Kender in Shadowrun. |

2791. I am no longer allowed to hide the 'canon cannon' behind my GM screen at live games, which shoots springloaded koala teddy bears as I say "Dropbear attack, resist 10P" at whoever it hits when someone gets fussy about my fuzzy history of what happened in over 80 years of shadowrun history.
2791a. I am definately not allowed to put it on a spinner in the middle of a table with a remote control so that noone even close to the pain in the ass gets thwacked. 2792. I am not allowed to run a pirate software guild for free software. 2792a. Especially with my mystic adept. 2792b. Especially not with the mystic adept from #2786 2793. I am no longer allowed to 'control actions' the 'cute chick down the hall' the gm put in as a civilian casualty/possible romantic interest via remote ritual for sex via a fallen hair follicle... and then lethe her afterwards... and get her pregnant because I didn't bother with a condom. 2793a. Again. 2794. I cannot use the detractions in Runner's Companion for custom built lifestyle to create my own money making whore house by combining 'black hole' with a spirit who can search for all the things customers drop, crash pad to bring in extra clientelle, no privacy so drive-bys can easily decide on the goods, rough neighborhood for easier hires, "This ain't Big Bob's Auto's" and inviting the other company's clientelle to the location to discuss their issue, worse neighbors so Lone Star leaves me the hell alone, and 'perfect room-mate' who keeps the ho's in line. 2794a. I specifically can't do this to maintain a partially luxury lifestyle for the price of low, without at least warning the GM so he can burn it down first run... |

2798: I am not allowed to try and hijack a Shadowrun game and turn it into an Eclipse Phase game.
2799: Rich boys from Orbital families do not play laser tag with real lasers. 2800: Even if Radiation Shielding on milspec armor makes all lasers do stun damage. 2801: When the GM says "Pretty much carte blanche" on gear requisition, this does not cover a Nanofax with nanoprints for milspec laser tag gear. 2802: It also doesn't cover an orbital-dropped, nano-constructed laser tag arena featuring five kilometers of monowire and 1000 holographic projectors. 2803: Or a getaway rocket to Mars. |

Carte blanche, or "Blank check." When a corporation really, really needs you to do something, and for some reason thinks you are the best for the job. Sort of kids in a candyshop for gearheads.

2804: I am not allowed to play a character based off of Jamie Hyneman or Adam Savage of Mythbusters.
2805: Even if the rigger is not based off of any of the Mythbusters cast, the rigger is not allowed to videotape every run for the sake of starting a crime-based Mythbusters spinoff on the Matrix. |

2813: A successful interrogation technique is not covering someone in No-Paint and injecting them with Red Mescaline while they are passed out in a dark, sterile environment. Even if Red Mescaline drops their Will to 0 after they crash. It's mean, and no one likes mean people.

Courtesy of one of my first PCs:
2814: I am not allowed to play a Face that is incapable of vocalizing normal speech and must thus conduct all negotiations via text messages. 2814a: Even if he can read and write ten languages fluently 2814b: Especially if he is a type III SURGE changeling fishman 2814c: Especially if I name him 'Murkey' and make Murlock noises in-character the entire game. |
