Hype up your GM

"WHAT'S UP BITCHES! LET'S DO SOME MOTHERFUCKING D&D WITH MOTHERFUCKING JIMMY!" you scream, smashing through the GM's window waving sparklers

Rules super-light. There's no way to get across what your PC is doing.

Just sit there and imagine it, and hope it matches what everyone else is imagining.

Werewolves're only supernatural at full moons, otherwise they're just a guy.

This means anyone can be a werewolf. If the story doesn't take place at night on full moons it just doesn't come up, you know?

Make it so in your setting everyone's a werewolf. It's just a new moon, so you don't find out.

At the start of the game, roll a d100 to see how focused you are on playing the game this session.

players say the rule book is too long? have a rice-writer copy it out and tell them it's a one-pager

Somewhere in the world is a mountain a thousand miles tall and made of solid diamond.

Every thousand years, a bird lands there and brushes the top with its feathers once.

And when that mountain is eroded away? I'll be free to game.

I asked my boss but I do have to be there the whole time. Sorry.

Gain advantage by giving your GM a little cuddle. Maybe a smooch if they are amenable.

If a game session is delayed, the Big Bad's plans go on unopposed.

Miss too many, and you come back to find the world ended while you were sorting out work.

I tried to come up with an idea around "reverse dispel magic", as in a spell that takes a place without magic and puts magic there, and then I realised that I just came up with magic again.

Dispel Magic came first and all other magical spells are just putting Dispel Magic in reverse polarity.
