2348. I may not name my troll face The Concern Troll.
2349. No matter how badly my close combat adept is mauling the security guards, I am not allowed to quote Doom Guy. That's just mean.

Hacked cyberarm or Control Actions?

2350: Expressly forbidden from using the amazonian locus to recreate Swindon.

Those will work, was thinking more along the lines of brute force however.

LOL!

2351: I am not allowed to invent a shark repellent batspray
2351a: Or any-being repellent batspray.
2351b: Double for dragon repellent batspray.
2351c: Triple for biodrone repellent batspray.

2352: No longer allowed to mount a vibrosword onto a Shiawise Blazer and call it a firey avenger.
2353: Not allowed to go to the hardware store and buy a weedwhacker and a spool of monofiliment line with the express purpose to combine the two.
2354: Lawnmowers are not melee weapons. The gm doesn't care how well it worked in the movie Dead Alive.
2355: Shouting "Oh my god it's coming right at us!" doesn't give me the right to blast random npcs.
2356: Not allowed to raise Vince the Shamwow guy from the dead to act as the teams face.

Oh my god, that's awesome.

And who was flying the chopper?

Autopilot, I suppose.

2356a: I am not permitted to slot Vince personafixes.
2356b: I am especially not permitted to get the Enchanced Voice Control cyberware, the adept power Commanding Voice and slot a Billy Mays personafix while negotiating with the Johnson. The Police should not be able to hear me inside the station at their desks when I am in the bowels of a nightclub.

2357: It doesn't matter how many points I put into unarmed combat my parapalegic character can't do this.

Now that... was pretty awesome...

Keep the Faith

Hell yeah... that video went straight into Favorites.

2738: I am not allowed to use dj Ozma's videoclips to torture capitives.
2738a: Or displaying them on those big advertisement screens as a distraction.
2738b: Or making my own version of such videoclips with ghouls, trolls, dragons or drop bears.

2739: I am no longer to make fake Johnson meetings (this looks like somebodies ordinary house) just to make the team paranoid.
2740: I am not to make one final fake meet in such a house, where all the team finds is a body, and they can already hear the highthreat response squads cars pulling up outside.

Hehehe.

I can only imagine having to hire the ghouls/trolls/dragons to have the required footage.

That's good... Actually watching this kind of stuff would probably force Cthulhu to check his SAN.

2741: I am not allowed to do anything that would force Cthulhu to check his SAN.

Without sound, even that scared me... NOT SAFE FOR WORK XD

Tangentially related to previous comment...

2742. I am not allowed to create (even as a unique magic item/artifact) an erection pen. Dragons particularly don't appreciate it.

(Second image was marked "mature" and as guest users can't see mature art, I linked directly to the image file, which has occasionally in the past not worked, so if it doesn't there's not much I can do to "fix" the link)

1) That site is on the verge of being disturbing, based on other things you have linked before. These images may not neccessarily be a good representation of the site as a whole, however.

2) The second link is broken, and I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.

It's a furry art site. So take it with a bag of salt. There are clean galleries (SkySealer being a notable artist).
Just remember "The Internet is for Porn" and deviants, being deviants, will have deviant porn.



Try clicking the URL then refreshing; that sometimes works for me. Its likely a site-refer thing (to prevent hotlinking). It's only mature for the use of the word "erection." I'm real careful about which submissions I'm willing to share with a general audience.

Refreshing didn't work for me, but clicking on the URL and hitting enter did ^_^

Oh right; refreshing sends all that metadata too.

2743: Can't set the game in Dark City.
2743a: or Sin City.
2744: The BBEG can't look like Paton Oswald or Ralphie May.
2744a: Roid Rage Carrottop won't do either. I'm told it's too scary.
2745: The characters can't run across a watermelon smashing street comedian on the way to an upscale meet location.
2746: The plot for Groundhog's Day can't be used as a run idea.

How would you even do that? VR? UV node?

2747. I should not be allowed to make an AI character who is a Buddhist.

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.

Reminds me of Fallout 3, where they removed the groin shot (and eye shot) aimed shot options available in the other 2 (non-spinoff) games.

Heh. I stole that from someone's signature over on the Dwarf Fortress forums.

I love Fallout 3, but I really wish they'd kept groin shots

Fun fact they still register just vats doesn't specifically allow for them.

Good to know... 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 ^_^

What's VATS stand for?

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.

I am no longer allowed to create a 6-armed ork with 6 fully-automatic grenade launchers.

2751. I am no longer allowed to mod a grenade launcher to full auto.



Ah yes, I recall that now.

... which is a good thing, if you like the Fallout aesthetic, but dislike reaction-speed games

2751a. Also applies to assault cannons. (I think these two have already been done at least twice, though )

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.

Hehe

Awesome

2754: I am no longer allowed to base my character concepts on a Poxy Boggards song.

This is jut Awesome... Thanks for making my day...

Keep the Faith

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.

2759a. 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.

And it doesn't take several combat turns for a small white box to zoom in.



That's what Magic Fingers is for!

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.
