Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Enforcer84]

indeed

[DusterBoy]

And the (rather tangible) ghost of Monty Python strikes again!

[Celt]

And the (rather tangible) ghost of Monty Python strikes again!

No, it didn't. Care to argue about it?

[Susano]

No, it didn't. Care to argue about it?

Will this be a short argument, or the full five minutes?

[hfergus]

I'm arguing in my spare time.

(I only charge to stop arguing.)

[New Hero]

Lemon Curry?

[Tim]

Dimsdale!

[Narf the Mouse]

Fairly Odd Parents.

[hfergus]

Nee!

(Ok, enough of this. Can we get some good quotes? If I had 'em, I'd use 'em.)

[Susano]

I hope we get to game soon in 2010....

Edge City - Back In Town

Trawler : Once knocked down a skyscraper with one run-through. Team locksmith.
Avatar : Unlicensed Particle Accelerator
Stentorian : Loudmouth
Zero : World class paranoid. And mentalist.

Zero: I had a pet deer once. Back when I lived in San Fran, of all places. I had to give her away when I moved here. I left my hart in San Francisco.

Zero : I really hope they don't have an underground car-park here. Although they might have a water feature soon, when the Scorponoid reaches the water table
Stentorian : We could do landscaping!
Avatar : I think people would pay us not to do landscaping
Zero : Oh, I dunno - invite some enemies somewhere, and run some nice creepers over the wreckage. We could call it a folly.

Zero: No, Trawler, you can't use a hospital as a blunt object

Zero: slightly put out by being attacked by a hysterical nurse This is the United States! You'd think having a supervillain rip the front off your hospital would happen every week.

Zero: I'm not that scary! There's the black cloak and the asthmatic wheezing and the glowy sword, admittedly, but still!

From the other table : Basically, Sigmar is Chuck Norris.

Zero : What have you done with my future wife you sons of bitches! Well... She doesn't know about that yet... Rewind! What have you done with my girlfriend you sons of bitches!

It turns out to all be a ploy by one of Zero's old enemies to kidnap his girlfriend using two of his other enemies as hirelings. And the big bad is Dr Destroyer.

Weldun, GM : grinning evilly at Zero's player Guess who had Dependent NPC and three different Hunteds roll up at once.

Avatar just barely makes it to the kidnapped Lancer before they teleport out - and into Destroyer's presence, where he is instantly curbstomped.

Zero OOC : You have to admit it's a classic cliffhanger

In Cthulhu...

They managed to avoid the worst consequences of their escape from Innsmouth because they figured out on of the new characters was a government agent in disguise. I was flabbergasted, not least because it completely derailed my plan for the next few sessions. I've never had my schemes this badly upset before, and that includes the time the PCs actively aided & abetted the monsters because the NPC was an inadvertent doppelganger of a RL person they couldn't stand.

My biggest problem with this is that the PCs now have the might & influence of the US government on their side - and might believe that this will do them any good at all

Anyway - In black real life comedy, the pet rat that chewed on my copy of the HPL Omnibus had a stroke afterward.

Me: Exposure to the Mythos was too much for his little rat brain.

Paddy McGinty : *Rocking on spot, cradling a shotgun, and singing a little song about bombing the hell out of Innsmouth*
Col. Lancaster OOC : *smack* I'm the only one who sings around here!

Paddy McGinty : You know how I've got a bit of an arsenal?
Amy Wells : I'm sorry, you're a what?

Lucy Smith : How did you lot ever become the superior sex?!
Paddy McGinty : Nobody ever said we were superior, we're just better.
Amy Wells OOC : Can we just shoot him?
Me, GM: I'm sure they're be plenty of opportunity for friendly fire in the assault on Innsmouth, if McGinty gets his way.

Me, GM: Can you please explain where you're going to get a truckful of exploding hookers?
Col. Lancaster OOC: Pop-rocks & coke. Drive down an old country road to Innsmouth, jump out, and you're set.

More of this little scenario, including speedboats and Undead Abraham Lincoln, when Kyu_Kage emails it to me

Me, GM: Mrs Smith expires from her long illness and multiple high-speed vehicle pursuits.
Col. Lancaster OOC : She is survived by her daughter and several kippers. The family ask that donations of plankton be made to the local aquarium.

Trying to dispose of the body

Lucy Smith : How about we take her to the zoo?
Amy Wells : They did rely on the public feeding the animals for part of the diet
Me, GM: Somehow I doubt that includes dead mothers

Lucy Smith : We saw McGinty's trumpet *player goes bright red when she realises what that sounds like*
Me, GM : Your Smut Field even affects yourself? You need to buy some Personal Immunity from it

Col. Lancaster : I did have sleep, I gagged myself!

Paddy McGinty : Sign me up, smack a stamp on my arse and off we go!
Col. Lancaster : 'Property of the US Army'

Arrgh. I did read survived by several Kidnappers.

I'm beginning to realize that Smut Fields can be monumentally inconvenient in when they put in an appearance...but delightfully amusing when they do show up.

*grins* Hybrid ancestry with Deep Ones allows for many many terrible jokes to torment the victims with. I barely even begun with Lucy yet. Just wait until the US Government realise what they're really facing in Innsmouth - Lucy, handily enough, is already locked up in the basement of the Federal Building in Boston. Concentration camps in the desert may feature in her future...
