2887: I will not have have any Free Spirit in the game that's based on fan art of Alice Cooper.
Tai-Pan
2888: Like a big fat drunk disgruntled Yuletide Rambo is not a good character concept

2884: I may not mod a suitcase to have legs and stupidly high armor, and then have a spirit inhabit it. Variations of The Luggage do not exist in Shadowrun.


Psh. I don't need a spirit. I turn it into a Drone, with a high Pilot rating. And gecko grips... Maybe concealed internal weapons...

... See what you've done, Squiddy?

Someone called? You also forgot to mention that he's an albino with chameleon clothing and nanotatts.


2889: I'm not allowed to SURGE into a Kender.

You really need to look at the start of the list...

2891b: If I do violate either of these rules, I am not to be surprised when the player kills the character or inflicts bodily harm on my person. I am also not to be surprised if the rest of the group joins in or my next character suffers from some sort of debilitating GM inflicted disease. We all want to kill that damn Navi

2892. It's not 106 miles to Chicago, we do not have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's not dark, and we're not wearing sunglasses.

2893: I am not allowed to make a drone that "shits a brick" when attacked by drones more heavilly armed and armored than itself, especially if that brick is plastic explosives.

2894: My characters not allowed to commit warcrimes with weapons of mass destruction.
2894a: Not even if it's a really clever use of really cool nanite swarms.
2894b: Especially not with Magical diseases.
2894c: Not even if I'm "only going to use it on ghouls." Scabby people-eaters are people too.

Depends on your GM. Some would consider it required for the move to work at all. I would be one of those biggrin.gif

2896c: Having a reputation for doing it every time you lose a game isn't good for your street cred and should be avoided.

2899. I may not refer to any pair of small, furry creatures as "nubbins" especially in the context of "Do you like my" while playing a busty (or otherwise) female character.
2900. I may not create a "robotic land narwhal" for any reason.

What the hell?
2901: My shadowrun partners are not "Filthy" Nor are they "assistants"
2902:Biological wepons and anti-personal explosives are not viable tactics in public areas.
2903:Calling my teamates pussys for whining about shrapnel wounds while stepping out unscathed of the remains of my wheel-chair mounted rigger caccoon is not a good way to keep group ties.

2906: I am not allowed to have my character hand the Johnson a small box and tell him hold it steady and still while my psycopatch TM checks the data and credsticks for fakes.... and then narrow my eyes at him and hmmm.. just to screw with him. Then when it's all done, have the bust-a-move in the box open the lid and rawr ever again

Why the hell would a Johnson ever hold anything a runner tries to give him? That's asking for the J to get killed.

EDIT: What would happen in real life (... so to say) is that you'd offer the Johnson something threateningly like that and the J's hidden snipers would kill you for threatening him. Probably with your own hacked blimp of death too.

2907:I am no longer allowed to exploit the fact that the highest body vechial in the game is a zeplin to build myself a flying fortress of doom.
2908:Even if I do, I cannot point out the fact that with a decent rigger and good mods I have enough dice to dodge air-to land missels.
2909:Plugging a pain enducer to a power outlit, and leaveing it trained on a bound prisioner in my basement with spirt bound to keep him their, and them comeing back twelve hours later is as of now considered a warcrime.
(Even though if the rules are to beleived it would only fire off one shot every 10 seconds once the battery went dry this would still work. But in all fairness thats battery recharg time, if it were pluged strait into the wall I should think it would stay on)

2909: Doctor Mcninja is not to be a street doc in any of my campagins.
2910: I may not summon up characters from "Sesame Street" is prohibited.
2911:Venting pepper punch or other airborn toxins it to executive meetings is not a apprropriate hobby.
2912: Nor is spraying it on the eldery.
2913:Ditto for Lonestar/KE. (Even though it is funny to through the occasional gas nade full of it into cop cars)
2914: Useing it on humanist policlub meetings however is OK.
1915:Pepper punch is not "The silly string of the sixth world"
2916: Scraching the paint on my rigger's vechial is not a shooting offence.
2917: 2916 is considered null and void in the likely event that ruthenium polymers. (chameleon paint to the layman) DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH IT FUCKING COSTS TO REPAINT THAT SHIT!
2918: My rigger is not to go on a psychopathic rampage the next time some jackass with a fucking gernade ruins the fucking paint on his van.

2919: As a GM, I am now required to keep a closer eye on what my players buy. 10 kilos of plastique is not something to find out about on the first run. This is doubly true when one of the PCs is a mad bomber
2920: As a PC, I am no longer allowed to try to pull one over on the GM and claim 10 kilos of plastique is one item when taking advantage of the improved availability advantage from the Runner's Compendium
2921: Drop bears are not allowed to be available to PCs
2921a: Nor are hoop snakes
2921b: Anything the Australians make up to pull the leg of gullible tourists are not available to PCs period. This applies to Foster's for the players
2922: I am required to point new players towards this list and towards Mr. Welch's list to prevent them from violating the sanity of the GM by repeating the past dee...mistakes of other players. I am also required to act as though this list is srs bizness when dealing with new players
2923: This list is not srs bizness, no matter how much I make it seem like it is
Squiddy Attack
2924: Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann may not appear in Shadowrun in any way, shape, or form.
2925: Trolololoing trolls is never smart, especially if the troll in question is big enough to sit on you.
2925a: It's just weird if you're a troll.
2926: Leaving a Stick-N-Shock round on the bottom of someone's hot tub is effective, but unacceptable.

Dodging air-to-land missiles are trivially avoidable in a dirigible. They're on the ground when they explode.
