Don't prototype Pool, or billiard balls.

((we would rather prefer for LE to be only vaguely mentioned here, not a sort of common knowledge. That said, no Englished session.))

(( Why would it even need a name? There's nothing to indicate that pool and billiards hold inherent power, or that prototyping them would somehow permanently mess up a session. Lord English has a billiards theme, not that billiards have a Lord English theme. That said, we'd like to leave direct mentions of LE, the felt, and cherubs, out of the RP here. ))

Kyubey from Puella Magi or whatever it's called. The enemies variably got telepathy, lightning-quick movement or both along with whatever other abilities that cat had, and all our female coplayers kept getting offered contracts. Thank goodness we didn't have a Witch player, or things could have turned very ugly.
And their faces. Dear God, their faces. That was one terrifying Black King.
I think they were also meant to be invisible, but I guess SBurb used the same piece of code as it does for dreamselves, as we could see them fine, but a lot of them seemed oblivious to one another.

prototyping anything from madoka seems like a BAD IDEA no matter what to me! goodness, skaia help the session who ends up with that.
also, don't prototype any images of the titular character of serial experiments lain. any who has seen it all the way through can tell you why.

Dont double pre-entry prototype two things closely related to aspects, I mean. you cant prototype air but something like blood and poison or anything like that, Not for the powers given to the imps. but because it causes this weird glitch that inverts your role, I mean. it gives you a class and an aspect that actually suit your personality!, It also glitches lots of other things, Still not sure how we managed this one on my first playthrough,

DO NOT prototype a blank Sylladex card, Fetch Modus card, or Strife Specibus card. This one is kind of obvious, but still.

Why not?
Also- A toy of Godzilla is a bad idea, for obvious reasons. However, any bad guy from power rangers or Sentai is a bad idea. You do not want the orge you just killed suddenly get even bigger.

I've now discovered the source of my session's issues, although I'm still behind on maintaining it's dedicated thread to an up-to-date state. To summarise, if you prototype a Sburb disc, a) Underlings can gain a class OR an aspect, which is annoying, b) Monarchs gain both, which is troublesome, and c) Since the prototyping effect on the sprite is to add a spirograph to it, if it's the first prototyping you're unable to ascertain the reason for your problems, which is problematic. On the other hand, if you have somehow discovered your session is short a hero of space to be possible, it may be a suitable desperate means of supplementing your session with additional players, for the chance that one is a space player. I hope you like your new carapace people co-players, if you're in that situation.

Magic: The Gathering cards, unless you're like Jon Finkel or something.

Anything relating to mythological creatures isn't recommended unless you want a challenge. My first session's Witch of Space prototyped one of her numerous dragon drawings, and I already had a hard time facing my own prototyped imps. The only perk was that since they were stuffed animals and dragon-affected imps breathed fire, it made using imps against each other so much simpler.
I'd also like to add the blanket term of any merch relating to franchises involving superheroes. That same session's Maid prototyped two CDs: a season of Teen Titans and Rise of the Guardians. If dragons freaked me out, I was scared shitless when I realized that there were now fucking cyborg imps running around. The Jack Frost imps also messed with my Land's quest.

NOTHING TO DO WITH PONIES OR HORSES. Especially not My Little Pony.
EVER.
For those wondering why: 'earth magic' apparently translates as 'life/blood hybrid aspect with lowered pluck costs', air magic/Pegasus flight magic is 'breath aspect, plus cloudshaping'. Unicorn magic...not touching that with a 30-ft pole.
Alicorn magic? Hope you alchemized your weapons with a First Guardian. It's ALL OF THE ABOVE, at god tier levels-before they start boosting EACH OTHER. Royalty? With all of the Mane Six OR any of the alicorns they can use the Elements of Harmony and with Celestia can move Skaia.
Also, Pinkie Pie (the pink one) gives royalty [Tangled Waltz]. This has escalated into carapaces repeatedly cloning the rings and sceptres. Also are far as Jack Noir is concerned she counts as a clown.
