(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:

Not allowed to make a character that will have 30 strength by the time they're level 13 using Savage Species progressions and wield a large greatsword as an ancestral relic with a huge greatclub as a backup weapon just because she has monkey grip and can easily afford the -2 to the attack roll ever again.
555. Not allowed to make a Lythari Psion with Vow of Poverty who gains the Saint template ever again.

480. Making a Sex Appeal check every time the GM gives me a new challenge is only funny for one session, if that.
481. When I know the GM won’t kill characters, it’s not nice to call his bluff by charging the gunman unarmed and unarmored.
482. When playing with an old-school D&D DM I shouldn’t argue that that goblins aren’t evil, just the result of a bad upbringing.

522. When GMing Twilight 2000 or any other modern military game, I must not automatically assume that the player has the same military knowledge as the character.

532. When finding a mainframe computer with a TL at least 2 above yours, don't plug in the toolbox droid and expect it to "Translate the Blue Buttons."
533. Do not argue with the captain of your starship. Doubly when he's a large bronze dragon capable of palming your head in one paw.

540. "Crack Whore" is not an acceptable character class. It is certainly not a variation of cleric.

543. Not allowed to have any more quickling PCs.
544. That goes double for dwarfs and giants mating.

553. Not allowed to have the Lillend sing the opening theme to Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Second Gig as a song for inspiring courage, even if it is eerily fitting.
554. Not allowed to make a character that will have 30 strength by the time they're level 13 using Savage Species progressions and wield a large greatsword as an ancestral relic with a huge greatclub as a backup weapon just because she has monkey grip and can easily afford the -2 to the attack roll ever again.
555. Not allowed to make a Lythari Psion with Vow of Poverty who gains the Saint template ever again.
556. No, the Woodling cannot cast Shillelagh on her arm even though her natural slam attack does do the same damage as a club wielded by someone of her size category.
557. A half-dragon monk with Aberrant blood, improved grapple, and the half-giant base race is a grappling machine. This does not automatically mean she can take out a professional wrestler at level 2.
558. Not allowed to ask the drow whether he has a panther or just likes having two scimitars.
559. The Book of Vile Darkness is not acceptable reading material for a paladin of Tyr.
560. Nor is it acceptable reading material for a cleric of Lathander.
561. The Cyrinnishad is not a toy and disguising it as the Book of Exalted Deeds is a BAD IDEA.
562. Just because level 8 Initiates are required to create a cyberzombie doesn't mean there's a few of them hanging around nearby as backup.
563. Just because the cyberzombie CAN carry and fire two LMGs with no recoil penalties doesn't mean he HAS to.
564. The cyberzombie cannot be given adept powers, even if wallrunning is "really damn cool".
565. Never allowed to ever whisper the word "cyberzombie" EVER again within earshot of my Shadowrun players.
566. "Crunch all you want, we'll make more" is not the Hive Tyrant's battle cry.
567. Ask my IC significant other when pregnant, "So, are we eating them or keeping them?"
568. Cast Command on the evil cleric who has kidnapped me, then force him to fetch me a shrubbery.
569. Greatsword sledding is not (and never will be!) a professional sport.
570. Just because the Kim Possible theme song tends to demonically play on repeat in my head after watching it with childthings does not mean my half-succubus vile cleric can use it as an incantation.
571. Touch of Juiblex is not an acceptable method of body disposal. Especially not when it's a member of your own party.
572. Cannot lie to GM when he asks if his juice tastes like it has alcohol in it.

588. Not allowed to shoot out the backdoor of the Succubus (or any cliché) Club, just because the line is too long.
589. Not allowed to "Go looking for trouble" in Harlem when your character is a pasty white computer nerd, even though your buddy is an Arms Dealer and you're both Brujah.
590. Not allowed to trick the Barbarian by playing off his violent side just to send him to his death. . . . When playing a good cleric.
591. Not allowed to kick back and smoke a joint while the Dragon terrorizes the city with the excuse "The others are doing just fine."
