 750+ things Mr. Welch can no longer do in a RPG - Part III
#1
Trust me guys, I didn't come up with this.
I got this from a website recounting pen-n-paper RPG stories.
Unfortunately, no names were attributed.

750+ things Mr. Welch
can no longer do in a RPG

Part III

(More than) 750 things Mr. Welch can no longer do in an RPG is a list of actions PCs (personified as "Mr. Welch") should never take in a role-playing game. While many of the entries are based on actual games, other entries are entirely fictional. Inspired by "Skippy's List: The 213 things Skippy is no longer allowed to do in the U.S. Army", the RPG-specific list was originally posted as "1,150 things Mr. Welch can no longer do during an RPG" on TheGlen's blog, which he copied to RPGnet in the thread "250 things Mr. Welch can no longer do in a RPG". The list was subsequently expanded by many authors across several threads, most recently "750 things Mr. Welch can no longer do in a RPG". A similar list from the perspective of a GM is "1001 things Mr. Raymond can't do when he GMs". 750 things Mr. Welch can no longer do in a RPG:

1261. There is no such language as "Drowbonics".
1262. If the fighter tells my mage "When I nod, zap him", he just means this encounter.
1263. I cannot save up for a 20-paradox blow to create another Tunguska Event.
1264. Shadowrun. Cannot "hold out for unreasonable expenses".
1265. A character's native language should probably not be "Engrish" or "Leet".
1266. Paladins are not "The Man" nor are they keeping me down.
1267. In the eyes of the law of Forgotten Realms, it is not a hate crime when someone is attacked for being a drow.

1269. Even if the game makes it obvious to me.
1270. No, You can't play a vampire.
1271. No, You can't play a cannibal either. We're making SUPERHEROES!
1272. A recently-escaped inmate of an insane asylum, where he was placed after murdering his entire family at a barbeque with an acid-dripping fireman's axe named "mother", armed with self-same axe, that fights crime is NOT a valid SUPERHERO!
1273. I will stop singing "Stabilize, Stabilize, Sta - Sta -Staaaaa - aaaa - bi - iiii - iii - lze" to Staying Alive theme music.
1274. Especially when I am not a bard.
1275. With a negative result in Heal.

1278. Especially if they're not strays.
1279. I cannot play an anthropomorphic cat with favored enemy (Rodents), a ring of regeneration and a magic butcher knife.
1280. And I can't name him Tom.
1281. I cannot say "Ooo, kinky" when someone mentions that they have ranks in Use Rope. Or say "Tie me up next." Or... wait. No commenting at all about Use Rope.
1282. No matter how bad my hair is, I cannot summon monsters from ordinary trading cards, even if I call my character YuGi.
1283. Any character with infinite loops.
1284. Kender? Blam. Blam. Blam. Blam. Blam. Blam. Click. (Reload)
1285. I cannot convert my FATAL character over to any other system.
1286. Putting a silencer on a bomb doesn't work, (a bomb is a weapon, after all...) even if the rules say that it will.
1287. I will not give the widow the cuff of my wrist.
1288. More than three times.
1289. Just because we can't stop laughing, the keeper is still unamused.

Quote:1273. I will stop singing "Stabilize, Stabilize, Sta - Sta -Staaaaa - aaaa - bi - iiii - iii - lze" to Staying Alive theme music.
