    Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    This week's award goes to Chris, for: "In my experience, Neanderthals *always* attack aliens."

    This replaces the previous title-holder, from Jason: "I made my INT roll, and I've decided to do it anyway." dw

    Thumbs up

    *L* Okay, sounds like a fun group.

    I don't have a group 'quote of the week' since I don't often get to game them as much as I'd like, but a few quips will always stay with me.

    "My rock like brick is buying his comeliness up."
    "Okay, what's your rationale?"
    "Remember those head shots he took?"
    "Yup."
    "I figure they chiseled his features."
    .....
    "This villain is always two steps ahead of us."
    "Great, we go backwards and maybe he'll get lost!"
    "From the unkind I have learned Kindness.... but I've never been grateful for the lesson"

    In last weeks DND game...

    The party barbarian, after being offered team leadership...

    "I will not be leader."

    pause pause pause

    then she continued

    "So, this is what we will do..."

    and she proceeded to tell them all what to do.

    As the others listened intently, i about fell out of my chair.
    Points (equal points or even very precisely calculated points) do not make balance happen in play. Instead, balance in play is what shows the points and costs were appropriate.

    I think our best has been, "I had to attack the lawyer, he was coming right at me."

    "Hey Pat, how far away am I from Thor?"
    "Well, he's on the ground, and you're pretty far up in the air, behind the clouds."
    "Can I see him?"
    "Yeah."
    "Can he see me?"
    "Not at the moment."
    "Heh heh. Make a Perception roll."

    "Okay. That got his attention. He's riding his chariot up into the sky to meet you. He's looking around for you. Your heat vision just seemed to make him mad."
    "So... his chariot is pulled by those flying goats?"
    "Yep."
    "He can't fly by throwing his hammer?"
    "Not this Thor."
    "Heh heh. Have his goat make a Perception roll."

    GM: Crenshaw (Nasty villain, a Vampire Silver Avenger...don't ask me how, just play along) is standing infront of the elevator. Its doors' open revealing the corpses of the stationed guards. He is looking intently at you.

    Vanguard(Me): Golden Avenger! Thank God you're here!

    Crenshaw (Turning to look back): What!?! Now you sho up you-

    Me: I shove him in the elevator, close the doors, weld them with my heat vision and break the cables!

    GM: I hate you. I really Hate you.

    Our group has more famous quotes by fellow players then I can remember. However one quote in particular just wont seem to go away for us. It happened while I was DMing a nostalgia quest for our group... The Temple of Elemental Evil (not to be confused with Return to the ToEE). Anyways during one of the fights with a particularly powerful priest the said priest blasted this player with a spell which did close to or slightly over fifty pts of dmg. This player looks to the other players and seeing their looks of concern for his well being merely shrugs and says "It's ok guys! I only took a little over half my hit points from that ONE hit!" This was in the opening round of the combat too. The priest still had plenty of spells to throw down with, that was just the first. It will never be said that this player isn't overconfident in just about any situation and he doesn't even take the disadvantage for easy points either. Go figure.

    That was my personal favorite from the Temple of Elemental Supidity (er....Evil) as well Wily....hehe, although Hrenex had his share of good ones too if I do say so myself....but anyway, back on subject the actual quote was:

    "It's ok guys, I'm good; I only took a little over half my hit points." and the player (Dr. Lucky on these boards IIRC) wasnt being sarcastic, ironic, clever, or attempting to be humorous -- he was seriously unconcerned.

    He's also the same player that broke the Staff of Power against Tharizdun and nuked half the party which I mentioned awhile back in some other post. Fun fun fun.....

    I remember one player saying he was going to use this phase to crap himself.

    The Tribble is angry, my friend, very angry.

    People are strange when you're a Tribble, faces seem ugly when you're alone.

    GM: Okay, you are hurtling at 32xFTL towards Malva, you have been unable to turn the ship around. What do you do?

    Ace( My brother's Character): I teleport to the outside of the ship.

    GM: You what?

    Ace: We've only been flying for about 25 minutes I'll get myself home. I don't need to breath.

    GM: Do you realize what is out there? You are going 32x Light speed at that velocity a dust mote would put a hole in you, do you know how many dust motes there are in space?

    Me: At least six.

    GM: (pause). Yes Chad, at least six, go to your room.

    Super-Dude (picture surfer that is 6ft tall, 3 of which is mohawk) is flying on his mystical surfboard as we are fighting a 2000ft "Killer Robot" The rest of us have been a bit injured but nothing bad.

    Super-Dude: Ok I think I have enough running room for a move-thru.
    GM: Ok you set up your move-thru, is there anything your going to do before you start the manuver?
    Super-Dude: yea, I'm jumping off my board so it doesn't get messed up when I punch a hole in this guys chest.
    -[side note: Super-Dude's powers came from his board, all of them]-
    --Moment of silence--
    GM: Are you sure?
    Super-Dude: yep. cowabunga!!!

    We all laughed VERY hard when Nate(Super-Dude) figured out that he was in trouble. He didn't really do a move-thru... well, not exactly.

    Flowers were sent to the hospital.

    Talking Quote all you want, we'll say more.

    Moondrake, our tough-as-nails, take-no-s... martial artist is out scouring the town in normal ID, looking for whoever has kidnapped his son.

    Two normal muggers jump him. One pulls a pistol and says, "Give me your money and you don't get hurt." After he looks down at Moondrake's feet, he adds, "And give me them nice kicks, too."

    Moondrake obliged.

    "If they want it done with discretion, why did they come to us?"
    "Similarly, don't get hung up trying to figure out the 'exact right way' to build something using the Hero System rules..." (6E2 277).

    Yeah, that'll happen.
