As someone who has some actual experience, minor as it is, I can relate heavily to why these rules may be in place. I don't agree with all of them, but they are also missing context. A lot of these are also basically 'game-skip' feature, the thermodynamic science to kill all the mobs is a good example.Quote:
- I am not to shoot every corpse in the head to make sure they aren't a zombie in Twilight 2000.
- When investigating evil cultists, I'm not allowed to just torch the decrepit mansion from the outside.
- The elf is restricted to decaf for the rest of the adventure.
- Not allowed to use thermodynamic science to asphyxiate the orcs' cave instead of exploring it first.
- In the middle of a black op, I cannot ask a guard to validate parking.
- Expended ammunition is not a business expense.
- I am not allowed to do anything I saw Han Solo do once.

So are we now going censored as to be forced to admit that Han Solo never shoots first?
Meanwhile the first one is just a big time waster. It also feeds into I'd imagine, the second last one.
This player is a chaotic menace. I love their energy but can see how it might drain a GM.
Think this might be one of my favourites.
