Apparently, according to my girlfriend who D Ms, I can't dual wield magic staffs as a wizard, shooting bolts of lightning from each like a magical gunslinger.

Well.... Staffs no, because they're two-handed. Dual-Wielding Wands, however, is completely rules legal
"Just as planned."
No matter how much I want to admit it, gnomes do NOT have skulls of titanium to deal with the constant punting.
Humanoid pandas make sense. Humanoid hamsters CAN make sense. Humanoid mosquitos should be killed with fire.
Making a joke character called Jabba the Slat will send my party eternally to Hell, especially as with an idea like that I likely have taken Charon's place and will steer the boat into the underworld.
(Note for the last one, but the DM took it entirely the wrong way due to one player's issues with pronounciation, so everybody else played it up.)

Black Sun Nocturne: she vetoed that too, sadly.

It's time for, Good Idea, Bad Idea
Good idea: Sending the rogue to lockpick the chest
Bad Idea: Kicking the chest while the rogue is working the lock. as a disgruntlement from previous adventure
Worse idea: Knocking the chest over causing the fireball trap to fire in a direction that only the RNG gods know.
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.

If my decker's plan involves the words "rave" or "party", that plan is immediately vetoed.
Umm... so, personally... this is the first time this has happened, so I'm a bit surprised. Only a centimetre away...
"Just as planned."
And if it doesn't, we nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Also... No longer allowed to play a Jamaican beekeeper and fruit farmer just so I can have Jammin' as his theme song.
... Also, please tell me more, as a Shadowrun fangirl.
There is a line between "catching the enemy necromancer unprepared" and "making the party kineticist glad his species reproduces asexually".

My group was attacking a warehouse held by a gang, so I decided to turn the lights off by hacking them. Then I decided that the best way to fight them would be to continuously turn the lights on and off and play techno music really loud, so they'd be distracted in a giant rave party. However, the gangsters had helmets that negated the effects of the strobing lights. The other party members, not so much, and most of them were blinded, then some reinforcements showed up and most of the party got gunned down. I narrowly escaped, but it turns out Mr. Johnson was paying five runners to get a package, not one with a couple of bullet holes without said package.

... okay. I need context for this.
hey i dunno, why don't you tell me
I suspect Groin Attack of superfluous magnitude.
not quite, more like another trope.
Okay, now I really need context. Was the necromancer busy getting busy?

My god, its full of tropes....
- The wizard doesn't need a TV licence in order to scry live events.
- This does not mean that he can project the footy on the tavern wall for free.
- Just because it is in the armory book, doesn't mean I can have it.
- No convincing the centuries old vampire that cruggs are the height of fashion.

"Just as planned."
If I am to play a character who uses magic through music, I am not to play a humanoid elephant circus ringmaster solely so I can cause a stampede and kill the NPC with plot armor.
PCs cannot be suddenly kidnapped by Ford Prefect and go off to the Restaurant at The End of the Universe.
Designing your Green Sun Princess as being a mental torturer through magic simply so you can sing 'Can I Play With Madness' and have her act as a fortune teller just so she can stare at her crystal ball and slowly drive a man mad is not allowed.
No longer allowed to make an insect shaman at all. Not even one who is a fan of Bee Movie.
No longer allowed to talk using very good Malay about rude subjects through NPCs, just so I can self-censor without having to self-censor.
My Eclipse caste sweet talker is no longer allowed to use a black rose as her symbol
... Nor is she allowed to self censor with ANY flowers at all
... Any mention of self-censorship should NEVER be followed by a muted trumper or a saxophone
... This applies doubly if she tries to act innocent. (As in, good and not evil.)
... And applies quadruply if she proclaims if it's her 'first time', when it's obvious it's not. Even if it's solely about evil magic.

If I was the DM, I'd have given you free xp for the Iron Maiden reference.
"Just as planned."
One of my fellow players said it was the best thing I'd thought of in a while.
Although given how much I've worn out this DM, I'll probably get one who runs with it next time.

- Eventually, we will meet an Imperial customs inspector that the pilot isn't related to.
- I cannot reassure my passengers that "I've set it to stun". Even if it is Star Wars, everyone with half a brain can tell that a shotgun can't do that.
- Blasters and all the variants thereof are particle weapons. End of discussion.
- Any time someone starts it up again the GM gets a dark side point for every participant per minute it goes on for.
- Stormtrooper armor is not useless. It functions exactly as intended.
- Therefore it is a good idea to run before they start getting back up.
- I cannot link anymore quad laser cannons on the same turret mounting.
- I am never going to get hold of a Raider-Class corvette for more than a session.

what about Sabaton or Python references mark?

Since the system we're using is deliberately sort of vague as far as how you can use the various Supernatural skills, all players are not only allowed, but encouraged, to describe how exactly they're using whatever skills and powers they come up with, especially if they can make it good. With that in mind, I am not allowed to Banish an evil spirit by "assaulting its consciousness with empirical and scientific proof that evil spirits do not exist, causing it to vanish in a Puff of Logic." Especially since I was using my Creation attribute, which is basically divine magic, to perform the banishing.

I am not allowed to replace any of the parties enemies tooth paste with remotely activated thermite/plastic explosive composite charges.

Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
How about explosives that get triggered by pressure?
~KnightofLsama - this was a custom GURPS race, and with it I'd made what basically amounts to a custom form of Dn D warlock, except in this case I'd promised myself to the arcane spirits.
The story actually starts when the Emperor exiles my pandaren, and it was for the exact thing I'm no longer allowed to do. Due to destroying old artworks.
