Savage Worlds, "We Must Save the Owl"
cast of characters
Doug the Slug: punk rocker mentalist
Dr. Thraxus: cyborg super-scientist
Frontovich: male Russian/Soviet super-soldier
Mech Rodiny: female Russian/Soviet super-soldier
Sentinel: patriotic American martial artist
Svechi: electrical energy projector
Tribunus: Roman flying brick
The Owl (a World War II era gadgeteer) had been captured by Schwartz Ulger, a Nazi super-soldier. Two Russian super-soldiers who had fought Schwartz Ulger in WWII (Frontovich and Mech Rodiny) came to the U.S. to help fight him again.
After arriving at the abandoned building where Schwartz Ulger was located, the team decided to bypass the ground floor entrances and simply smash through the roof. While most of the team fought Schwartz Ulger, Tribunus flew in, grabbed The Owl and flew him to safety.
GM: (shaking his head in disbelief) You completed the mission on the second action of the first round.
Tribunus (ooc): Since it was the title of the game, I assumed it was our primary goal.
GM: Do you want to end this now? We still have 3 1/2 hour of scheduled game-time left.
Tribunus (ooc): Nah. We have this supervillain right in the middle of the group. We might as well capture him while we're all here.
Frontovich grabbed Schwartz Ulger in a bear hug; Sentinel prepared to strike the Nazi with his sword.
Frontovich: (to Sentinel) "Be careful with that sword."
Sentinel: "Hold still..."
Much of the team had difficulty hitting Schwartz Ulger.
Frontovich: "Would somebody help with Schwartz Ulger?"
Doug the Slug, Dr. Thraxus, Sentinel, Svechi: (simultaneously) "I'm helping"
Frontovich: "Not very much."
Sentinel (ooc): I'm going to hit him this time. I have great faith ... and a soliloquy.
Captain Chaos (Schwartz Ulger's brick accomplice) jumped into the fight.
Sentinel: (to Captain Chaos) "Do your worst." (then flinched in advance)
Best without explanation.
GM: The zombie can't do gymnastics.
Doug the Slug (ooc): Mary Lou Rotten?

From Sunday's D&D 3.5 game:
Most of these either don't get anything more from their context, or are best taken out of context:
Yllek: Evil tastes like chicken.
Il'Marcum: Summon Breasts -- problem is, they always come with a mouth attached.
Il'Marcum: Dang... he's hung like a mountain.
- - - - - - -
We're preparing to teleport to the Ibexians, a race of goat-like humanoids, but Ryan has been acting like he doesn't want to go.
Il'Marcum: Are we all coming?
Yllek: I'm just breathing heavy.
Ryan: He's not holding my hand!
The girls (Leila and Devlyn) are going to "dream-walk" with the Ibexian women, and the guys are joking that we're going to take numbers on who gets to mess with them while they're in their trances.
Leila: Samson (her dog) is protecting us.
DM: He's got #12.
Devlyn: Maybe they can see if there's something wrong with me after I dropped dead.
Il'Marcum: After?!?!
Leila: We're all tainted.
Yllek: I 'taint!
Devlyn: You want me to pick the door?
Il'Marcum: Or you could pick your nose. Your call.
During what the DM calls our "pool party" (too long and complicated a story to tell here), both female party members and the spouses of three of the four male party members became pregnant. Leila and Devlyn just found out they're having twins. Same with Yllek's wife.
Devlyn: All of us at the "pool party" may be having twins.
Evan: Oh... okay.
Aren: You missed the important part of that sentence... all of us.![]()

I got to run a session of my DCEAU campaign last week. Here are some of the highlights. The main characters are...
Nightwing - aka Dick Grayson (Looks like young Tom Cruise)
Catwoman - aka Selena Kyle (Looks like Morena Baccarin)
Batgirl - aka Barbara Gordon (Looks like Danielle Panabaker)
Robin II - Tim Drake (Looks like teen Frankie Muniz)
Titania - Annie Clay (formerly a projection of Clayface, now independant person) (Looks like teen Natalie Portman)
---------------------
Two things: One: in the DCAU, the use "nearest local equivalents" of companies and celebrities. Two: Tim Drake (Robin II) has recently suffered from a spiral compound fracture during a fight against Two Face and his goons, in the last session. He is now in the hospital, where he has told all of his friends that he broke his leg doing radical skateboard pioneering.
Nightwing (OOC): I go to get Tim the new Gamestation Portable, so he can play it while hes in the hospital.
Batgirl (OOC): As he goes into the store, Dick's going to run into Babs. "Oh, hi! Youre too late; I just got the last copy of the Tony Falcon IV Skate game!"
------------------
GM: How come every time I run this game, the cat jumps into your lap? He never sits on -anyone's- lap!
Catwoman (OOC): He's my prop. *strokes cat smugly* =^_^=
---------------
Alfred: Ah! Miss Selina! How good to see you again, do come in...*sotto voce* Ill just hide the silverware...and Master Tim's copy of "Stormcats, the Movie", just to be safe...
---------------
Nightwing (OOC): Im going to go do some gymnastics.
GM: In the Batcave?
Nightwing (OOC): No, just out back, on the grass just off the back deck.
Catwoman (OOC): Ill go out back and perch fetchingly on something horizontal, until he notices me.
Batgirl (OOC): Just going to go and watch Dick swinging around?
-------------------
Nightwing: Its Killer Croc. Hes holing up in a cabin by a lake, up in the mountains.
Catwoman: Going after "Slimey and Bumpy" tonight? Oh! Maybe he'll use "the trick" again! You know...throwing A ROCK!
---------------
Nightwing: I have a lead on one of Two Face's hideouts. We can go see what Mister Face is up to.
Annie: *Climbing into a classic Robin costume to sub for Tim while he's hurt* "Mister Face"?
Catwoman: "Two" to his friends.
-------------
Batgirl: Wait a minute; how do we get Croc back to town?
Nightwing: We can bring the Batmobile.
Tim: I guess you can tie him across the hood?
Nightwing: Ill go get the deer hat
----------------
Killer Croc: *Sees Catwoman with the others* You?! What are you doing with them? Youre supposed to be on MY side!
Catwoman: Im not on anyones side but my own.
Batgirl: ...Just gonna come right out and say that out loud, huh?
------------------------
Catwoman: *Whips Killer Croc* Bad luggage!
------------------
Catwoman: *whips Killer Crock again*
Killer Croc: AGH! Im not into that!
Catwoman: They all say that...at first...
----------------
Killer Croc: *is finally dropped after a loooooong fight, including bouncing half a dozen tranq darts off his hide, or just soaking them up, as well as being hammered on by the whole team*
Catwoman: *rubbing her injured shoulder; the first damage she has taken since the campaign began* Remind me not to make fun of him, anymore.
---------------------
Catwoman: The ancient Greek heroes werent so big on knowing stuff, overall. Most of them were all "We dont put ideas in your head; we put JAVELINS there instead"!

Nice DCEAU quotes!
One from the Justice League game I ran at DunDraCon last month...
Martian Manhunter: This appears to have been blasted with electricity, but not like an atmospheric bolt of lightning. Bioelectricity, like an electric eel's. But it would take a million eels to generate this kind of power.
Aquaman: I happen to know a million eels...
