3895: Not allowed to paint explosives-loaded drones green and set up a sharp hissing sound as a proximity alert.
Tyro
3896: Not allowed to equip my combat drones with speakers and program them to boom out things like "Finish him!", "Fataility!", "Headshot!", "Killing Spree!", etc. at appropriate moments.
CanRay
3896a: Combat Drones playing Wagner out of their speakers is cliche now. Still awesome, but cliche.
Raven the Trickster
3896b: Having players do the same is allowed, but highly discouraged, and likely worthy of a distinctive style if they do it loudly enough to be heard.
CanRay
3896c: Vietnam-Era Rolling Stones are now considered "Classical Music", as it's 100-years old. So, no, you can't get your 'Nam on without looking like a goofball, unless you're in the Jungle.

Unless he's the face. Cos $Diety knows I'd go gay for that guy.

I'm not sure that counts. Frank-N-Furter is everything to everybody always.

Oh my god we've got a virgin! We're referring, of course, to the 1975 cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show which I'm commanding you to go rent and watch. Or better yet, see the stage play (The Rocky Horror Show) and then the film.

And here's where I admit that I went to the stage show and still didn't know who Frank-n-furter is.
Simply because I didn't remember that little fact.

Tim. Curry.

In the role he can never escape, from then until the end of days.

Ah, RHPS. THe last time I went, I wore my bad-ass bell-bottoms, my hair down, my John Lennon styled sunglasses, and had my gf and a friend of ours (who happened to also be of the girl persuasion) on leashes...

I miss the summer of 1998 immensely sometimes.

Only up to page 53 so I hope this one isn't a repeat.

And on that note,

3898: My mentor spirit is not Dr. Frank-N-Furter, as portrayed by Tim Curry
3898a: It is not in good taste to build Dr. Frank-N-Furter and see how long it takes my compatriots/GM to notice
3899: I may not take the specialization Mechanic: Satanic
3900: No dying the elf's hair blond, dressing him in golden hot pants, and calling him Rocky
CanRay
3901: No, "Rocky Horror" cannot be a type of magic.
3901a: It can be a subtype under the Cinema Tradition, but expect to be doing some crossdressing.

Just dive between his legs.

3902: I'm not allowed to describe what happens to people who get between Bubba The Love Troll's legs. There is not enough brain bleach in the world enough for that.
3902a: I'm not allowed to even describe it to myself.

Speaking of

Now, I doubt that Rocky Horror originated the term, as that would require significant proof, but given that I can't find an egg older than that, I'll bow to it.

3903 I may not produce Trideo's with titles like "Two Trolls, One Elf", or "Two Ghouls, One Elf".
3904 Or Simsense programs.
3905 If I produce a BTL with such a title I will be shot. Not my character, me.

Do Trid Phantasms count?
CanRay
3906: Trid Phantasms count, as you'd have to base it off something you've probably personally seen.

Trid Entertainment. Net hits determine how... captivating it is.

"I want to turn away, but I just can't. It's like a train wreck. Only worse. Much, much worse. At least those people had the release of sweet, sweet death! Dear Ghost, where's the Brain Bleach???"
Draco18s
Reminds me of an idea I had for an initiation (via Masterwork). Using trid-phantasm to make a BTL movie.

That is, you'd use the spell to set up the set and props, then simrig the actors (or even trid phantasm some actors too?)
CanRay
Well, the primary character would need to be real, but the rest would be his own experiences felt through the magic, so... Legit.

And very frightening!

Trid Phantasming BTLs is what my mage did before he got into the running business. *sage nod*

I... don't want to know how he did the research. He doesn't like to talk about it.
Squiddy Attack
He haz trauma. -other sage nod-
Cube
Some of his more famous works include "One Night in Chicago", "On the Metaplane of Pleasure", "Intercourse with a Vampire" (Which might be an actual thing), "The Well Hung Wendigo", and "Rubber Bum".

I'm sure Brain Bleach was involved after shooting.

Tom quit the porn business though.

3906 The Johnson can not hire the Runners to get the money to the Penguin.
3907 Even if the GM breaks rule 3906 that doesn't mean the runners are on a mission from God.
CanRay
3907a: However, the 'Runners can claim to be on a mission from God. It just won't be true. Even if they believe it, it's still not true. God works through other means than Shadowrunners.
3907a-I: God does work in mysterious ways, however.
