So, exactly what's wrong with any of this?

There's a thread over on the SJGames Forums titled "2000 MORE Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do In An RPG"

http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.php? ... tcount=340]This is one of the posts in it.

So, exactly what's wrong with any of those things?

910: I cannot have a hero who has enough health to survive being hit by a tank.

Isn't that part of the fun in that kind of game?

916: "For what we do here today...Generations will place us on pedistals, they wil love us and cherish us as the heroes we wish we could be...They will remember...no...They will do more than remember, they will never forget!", "When we die, In Flanders Fields we shall lie with the heroes of another war...", "Let us sell our tomorrows to buy the world a future" or any War poems are not appropriate Battle Cries.

They sound like perfectly good battle cries to me...

921: Demonically posessed Ex-WW1 Soldiers are never a Valid Concept in a High Fantasy Alternate history WW2 campaign and the GM will never let me play one again.

Why not? It wasn't your fault the other players didn't come up with as-interesting character concepts.

923: Even if we're losing the battle, using a meta-magic artifact to produce a mass area effect version of the true ressurection spell in the middle of flanders fields to ruesserect every person within 30 miles to return and battle one last time is not something the GM wants us to do.

Hey, it's the GM's own fault for letting you have the meta-magic artifact. He didn't have to put it into his own game.

Sounds to me like the GM could use a sense of humor upgrade... If he's providing the tools to make some of this possible, then it's not the
players' fault when they take advantage of it. The GM either needs to rethink the tools and opportunities that he's giving, or learn to improv better.

Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home

Jump out from behind them and shoot them in the head

Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead

I'm sure it says something about me that I looked at that and thought "Why is something that says "sailor scout" in the title mentioning ChibiChibi?
