Things You are No Longer Allowed to Do in an RPG

I am no longer allowed to place bets on how badly injured the other party members will become.
Nor am I allowed to teach the Engineer's son how to play cards, it's embarrassing enough when he loses to me.

No longer allowed to withhold healing from critically injured PCs because they mocked my cleric build.

No longer allowed to be financially engaged in: the stock market, casinos, ladder-making, artifact-making, politics, pole-making, other adventuring parties, and/or the spaceship industry.

No longer allowed to foment the homeless.

When the DM throws a heap of gold on top of your character, you are supposed to share it with the rest of the party. Even if the rest of the party wasn't there to help you fight the dragon over it.

The ground does NOT want to be friends with me.

I may not call a horse, dire wolf, gryphon, dragon, boat, space-ship or mecha "My Dick."

Because it leads to a series of "My dick is so big" jokes?

More like "Hey babe, want to go for a ride on My Dick?" "Don't look at My Dick like that!" "My Dick requires regular exercise, if you know what I mean." "Get off My Dick!" "You guys go ahead and get us rooms; I have to wash My Dick."

What's awesome is that in Nobilis you could then say "I Weave Destiny with My Dick."

I'm not allowed to bring three sheets of background lore to the session just so I can make a dirty joke with elaborate setup in-character.

On that note: Any party that I'm in cannot contain an Elf, a Dwarf and a magical construct.

Yeah background stories longer than two pages are banned from my games.

The Rogue is not the Tank.
The Rogue is NOT the Tank.
THE ROGUE IS NOT THE TANK.

Unless that rogue is my old Bugbear Rogue. He was in fact the tank.

I'm not allowed to abuse the Legend System to play a shapeshifter.

How exactly is that abuse?

If this thread is anything to go by, everything Exe has ever done to the Legend system qualifies as abuse in one jurisdiction or another.

Then again, this is Exe.

Jacobs: Because it can switch tracks, feats, and generally anything it wants with alarming frequency, with the express purpose of exploiting everything it can and generally bending the GM's encounter design over a table and fucking it.

, -bows- Thank you, thank you; I aim to please. And by "please" I mean "make any unfortunate sod who tries to run a game with me in it cry himself to sleep."

That was a description I did not need.

Please never use that description again.

That makes me want to game with you again, Exe.

I went easy on Jacobs here, because he was a newbie. (And also because I didn't know how to twist the legend system into an abominable reflection of its former self yet.)

I thought you liked Legend.

THIS IS NOT HOW YOU BEHAVE TO SYSTEMS YOU LIKE YOU SICK F**K.

It is if you're Exe. He's like the schoolboy putting gum in his crush's hair.

That's a surprisingly accurate simile, actually.

I'm curious as to what you will do with something like FATE or Apocalypse World (or a combination of the two, which is what a friend of mine did and it's AWESOME).

Can we just let Exe run all over Mutants And Masterminds?

I don't know, I've never done it myself but I've been an observer to some interesting discussions on the benefits and disadvantages of agility-tanking. (Mind you, never as a main tank, but for larger encounters to keep the other monsters off the squishies or if the Meat Shield is incapacitated for some reason).
