Polka is not appropriate marching music.<\/p>\n<p>94. I cannot base my ancient kung fu master on either Gene Simmons or Bluto Blutarski.<\/p>\n<p>105. I am not allowed to polymorph anyone into Abe Vigoda.<\/p>\n<p>134. The King&#8217;s Guards&#8217; official name is not &#8220;The Royal Order of the Red Shirt&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>174. There is no use of Shatner&#8217;s spoken word album that doesn&#8217;t require a humanity check.<\/p>\n<p>199. My third wish cannot be &#8216;I wish you wouldn&#8217;t grant this wish.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>221. If I get that Yugo up to 120mph again, that&#8217;s gonna get some paradox.<\/p>\n<p>251. I am not the Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy of Gundam Wing Z.<\/p>\n<p>289. My character does not have the flaw Addiction: Helium.<\/p>\n<p>330. The Halfling Paladin does not represent the Lollipop Guild.<\/p>\n<p>411. It is bad form to shoot a god while he&#8217;s monologuing.<\/p>\n<p>476. The alignment of 2 years olds is not automatically Neutral Evil.<\/p>\n<p>559. Even if the Ranger offers his sword, the elf his bow and the dwarf his axe, my gnome can&#8217;t offer his accordion.<\/p>\n<p>623. Even if the rules allow it, I cannot play a Dire Gummi Bear.<\/p>\n<p>651. My alignment is not Sarcastic Good.<\/p>\n<p>753. No encouraging Swedish accents.<\/p>\n<p>781. My tribe&#8217;s trial by combat ritual is not best described as &#8220;Calvinball with axes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>845. It&#8217;s not a good idea to taunt Greek heroes with &#8220;Who&#8217;s your daddy?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>968. A paladin with a British accent is acceptable. One with a Peter Lorre accent isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>975. There is something wrong with a 2nd level Kamikaze.<\/p>\n<p>1172. My brooding costumed vigilante can\u2019t take the flaw Dark Secret: Well Adjusted to Society.<\/p>\n<p>1337. Can\u2019t lure the Bastet into an ambush by turning on the can opener.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>See also <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/?p=612\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DM of the Rings<\/a><\/em> and <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shamusyoung.com\/twentysidedtale\/?p=45755\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chainmail Bikini<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Via David Breitenbeck, here&#8217;s a list, &#8220;Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do in an RPG.&#8221; A few items from the list: 20.
