2019: Just because my throwing adept has titanium laced bone does not mean that I have to wear a blue outfit with a bullseye on the forehead.
2019a: and I will not insist on taking the enemy flaw claiming that it is a blind adapt in a red outfit called Daredevil.
2019b: and I will not call Mr. Johnson "Kingpin"
2019c: and I do not look like Colin Ferrel.

2017: The computer is not your friend.
2018: I am not allowed to convert a parnoia character to shadowrun or vis versa.


What about Paranoia to Cyberpunk to Shadowrun? The material exists to do it, after all...

2020: Even if you are an AI, not allowed to live in a THOR satellite. Or any other weapons platform.
2020b: This includes abusing Arsenal to build a Transformer, or any other giant mecha/drone.
2021: Not allowed to install hydraulics in anything that hovers.
2022: A Bust-A-Move on a miniature DDR pad is not what the book means by "Manual control override".
2022b: Not even if you jump into the drone.

(That's the last time I let my players watch Megas XLR while doing chargen.)

LOVE that show.

2023. I am no longer allowed to threaten NPCs with Jhorgblacht removal.

2024. I may never "Stick to my strengths" if "Smashing is my strengths"

2025. Contrary to popular belief, "duck" tape is not the end-all be-all of complex electronic equipment repair, and my motto cannot be "When in doubt, duck it."

2026. I may no longer bust into angry monologue detailing a list of damages that I attribute to the enemy I'm facing, once per session, especially if all those damages were really my fault, and I was too ignorant to realize it.

2027. My cybered up carcass is far from being a giant robot, and I am to stop implying that chicks dig it for such.

Man, I so wanna make a Megas XLR campaign in Shadowrun. How is Coop such a good rigger, despite his obvious Gremlins quality, and low Logic attribute?

Human + Lucky quality = 8 edge. I think he must have maxed it out.

It's a reference to a recent World of Warcraft TV spot featuring Mr. T.

Apparently the grenates make whoever you hit look like Mr. T.

2014. Even if you are a short, bald, tattooed bastard wearing a fraeky glasses, you are not allowed to call your fellow runners "filthy assistants"
2014a. But GM can give you the Cat for free... heh, heh.

2015. Your PC's name can be Agatha (or Gilgamesh, Klaus, Lucrecia, or any Girl Genius character), but you are not allowed to have your own fleet of zeppelins, neither an ancient castle controlled by AI.
2015a. Especially a mad, homicidal AI.
2015b. Heterodyne is an organisation mentioned in SR4A fluff, not your family name.
2015b. Even if you make extraordinary good coffee.

2027. As a GM I will not introduce Resplendant Immolation, or Chromatic death as illnesses in Shadowrun. Regardless, I will not use the Si Vales Valeo System Transferal procedure as the only cure.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

#2035 I may not save a spell slot for 'livening up the commute' ever again.

2036: I am not allowed to make a mage with Physical Barrier, high Automatics, and a fully automatic ceramic component grenade pistol just to invoke the Chunky Salsa Rule on a great dragon.

2039. No matter how skilled I am at interrogation, surgery, and musical theory, I may not surgically alter street children to one perfect note, and subsequently "play" them using sharp implements.
2040. I may not use any other ideas gleaned from Michael Moorcock in the character creation process.

And yes, I knew what you were talking about without needing to click the link.

2041. I am no longer allowed to invent spells with don't violate physics, but which are "too powerful" because it could collapse buildings, crush people in their armor, allow trolls to hurl super dense objects with impunity, or allow corps to more easily create nano-scale circuitry for cyberlimbs. Despite the fact that the spell explicitly does not allow for any of these scenarios due to its restricted targets and effects.

You mean a year and a half later when her real memories surfaced?

Force 6 spell with 3 net hits vs. willpower 3.

3 dice, extended test (3, 6 months).

HAVE FUN. biggrin.gif

Yes you get a few years to get a headstart, but eventually she'll catch up.

Clearly the solution is another casting of Alter Memories (remove the memory that she remembered the memory and decided to chase you).

2043. I am not allowed to play any character ported from Monsters.*

*I'll get the full game title later, as I can't remember it. But you play an 8 year old child and their "pet" monster (such as an old woman who always has a plate of cookies fresh out of the oven, even when there are no ovens).

Well that depends on how you define "walk through walls." My personal favorite method is Acid Stream to knock out the wall's pesky solidness and then take it from there grinbig.gif

The Spirit can do that too, by simply manifesting, not materializing o.O

2044: No more making mage characters that can cast orgasm or orgy and ignore the drain. If I do I am not to cast either on the BBEG right in the middle of his speach about how everything has gone according to his plan and he "shall crush you insignificant fools..."

2045. At some point, I'm obliged to pay back the two bucks.

2047. I cannot teach the troll adept the "Bugra Punch"
2047b. Furthermore, I need to return my tapes on time.
2047c. And I'm no longer allowed to rent any Bugra trids.
2048. I'm no longer allowed to dress like Elvis with a shotgun in one hand and a chainsaw in another when heading into the CZ.
2049. My enemies do not need to watch more pay-per-view wrestling.
2050. My rigger cannot make a control rig that has "Destroy the World" "Blow up the world" "Destroy the World Worse" buttons on it, no matter how funny I think it is.

Because no one has mentioned magic fingers.

Bah, what I want to know is how hot can hot sim really get? I'm imagining a specialized data bomb that mimics certain types of hentai... maybe scripted so it locks the victim out of their own controls...

I am so glad that I have no one like you people in my games that I GM, being a player with you guys however would be so enjoyable, simply to watch the GM struggle.
