FRUSTRATED ACTION MOVIE HERO
From last night's D&D4 game.
"Dude! You Kurosawa'd him!" OOC comment after a particularly powerful sword strike by a PC.
"Raaaaape ghooooost!" Standard OOC comment (said in a long, drawn out way) by one PC whenever a particularly nasty tactical move is executed that deals out lots of damage, usually when the DM mauls a PC. Inspired by a Robot Chicken episode that featured the Scooby Doo Gang.
"He crop dusted us!" OOC comment after one PC walked around the table back to his seat while passing gas.![]()
"We can rebuild him... we have the character points..." - Dust Raven

Last week didn't get us any real quotes, as everyone was too feckless and unfocused to get any real time in. This week we will be welcoming a new player, who will be playing Red's best friend Cass (anyone who's seen the Gamers: Dorkness Rising will know the name. Yes. Based on that Cass) so it's bound to be interesting.
For those in the know, this time, Brother Silence IS an elf! ;-)

Played a Pathfinder Society Game today. Had several good quotes.
(our idea about what a pirates dad said as he left.)
"Jr., you are a F***ing Prick. Here is a boat and a charter. Now go away."
Player: "I want to know if I can pull a weapon in this town?"
GM: "Yes. Do you want to know if there are consequences?"
GM: " A little girl is holding the head of an older man in her lap. They are sitting in a pool of his blood."
Player: "Where is the rest of him?"
best out of context.
" I start undressing the little girl"
"If it's on the table, I can hit it with my hammer."
Called shot on a critical strike.
"I rip his arm off."
"That's why you let the dragon win."

Second run of our street-level superheroes game. Many good quotes, but only a few stuck in my head.
First, a bit of background. The PC's are a group of people from various walks of life who've discovered they all have a common parent, a retired cape who's been arranging to create the next generation of superheroes to fight for justice. This is important: they're all half-siblings.
The relevant PC's are:
Edgar is on a missing-girl case and is on the trail of a likely suspect: a fellow with known contacts to the Latin mob in charge of "acquiring" girls for their prostitution ring. The mobster is holed up in the Champagne room of a high-class gentleman's club, with his colleague in crime (a woman) and two "girls."
- Gil Lochland (played by me): millionaire playboy with wonderful toys.
- Nikki Patterson (played by my wife): college student moonlighting as a pole dancer who's also a flying brick.
- Edgar Shinner: private detective with, I think, illusion powers (he's been rather reticent about revealing what his abilities are)
- Sybil Frost: Paris Hilton-clone with ice powers.
Serendipitously, Gil is there entertaining a business contact, and Sybil dragged Nikki out for a "night on the town." Gil and Sybil notice Edgar and enthusiastically jump in to assist.
Edgar: "Why are you helping me?"Sybil suggests they go into the Champagne room under the guise of using the "private" facilities.
Gil: "Well, it's either this, or sit there listening to a Japanese businessman ask when he'll get to eat sushi off a naked American girl."
Edgar: "But you're my half-sister!"Later, the PC's have succeeded in infiltrating the room, and Nikki decides to distract their target by performing her act. (Note: until that point, none of the other PC's were aware of her "night job." She also happens to be very good at it.)
Sybil: "This is the other half, silly!"
Gil: [with genuine concern] "I don't know what half not to be looking at!"
"For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius."

Oops, just remembered another one from the Mean Streets game (our name for the street-level supers campaign).
The group assembles at one of Gil's many offcies to review some security-cam footage they've obtained. Gil starts performing magic with image-enhancement software with the computer embedded in his office desk.
Sybil; "So all this time, your really were just this big nerd."
Gil: "Yes, you've discovered my shameful secret. All of my action figures are cherry."

GM: Because Daily Bugle ceased to exist!
The Skull: One doesn't have to be intelligent when one has a nuclear weapon.
GM: The Skull HAS a nuclear weapon...
The Skull: We need a brilliant idea.
Ronin: I have a bad feeling about this...
The Skull: BlackCorp (enemies) know our strategy.
GM: What, get in, destroy everything and get out?

Last gaming session. Almost all of this is OOC...
Female player: He's eating a bagel with cottage cheese.
Male Player: Or it may only be something that only looks like cottage cheese…
Female player: My super power is showing cleavage (proceeds to do so)
Male player: Well, my clothes feel like they’re getting tighter...
In game: Nightengale (the party mentalist) is talking about letting another telepath into her mind, and is warning the party about possibly being mind controlled...
Nightengale: So, if I start acting loony (pause)... er!
GM: In a way that’s completely out of character…
The husband of one of the players is under the table, looking for lost dice. Then he starts "playing" with his wife...
Wife: Hey! Get off!
Someone else: That’s what he’s doing!
There is OOC discussion about having lots of hard drives for storage...
Male Player: Oh! I'd love to see your "externals".
Female Player: Do you want to see guy-on-guy?
Male Player: No!
Female Player: Then you don’t want to see my externals…!
There was a discussion about coffee, and how some people actually take coffee enemas to accelerate the absorption of caffeine. So, later on, somebody asked about coffee...
Player 1: How do you take your coffee?
Player 2: Orally!
Player 3: Would you like cream with that?
Player 4: Or do you take it black?
More OOC
Female player: I have to finish the protein shake before it goes bad

More discussions about Book's powers
Player 1: Wouldn't it be cool if you could use your cell phone for your spells?
Book: It would! I'm sending a spell via text...
Player 2: "I prepared explosive runes tod- "
And finally, one of the party bricks talking to the team leader
I could throw the Book at you…
