Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[OneWingedAngel]

In retrospect, this isn't nearly as funny as I thought, but it caught me off guard enough that I was broken for several minutes.

GM/ME (pre-game summary): "When last we left our intrepid heroes --"
PLAYER: "Aww CRAP! We've left our intreptid heroes!"

A d20 reference? For shame. You should be expressing it in Hero power terms. Something like Image, but I'm not sure how you would write it up since it it is created by words sent over the Internet.

Sound like an indirect attack. With a tough activation if you use AOL.

This actually isn't from my gaming group, it's from my last performance review at work. It was me, my boss and my boss's boss. We were going down a list of "evaluation factors" (quality of work, quantity of work, dependability, showing initiative, attitude, etc.) when the following exchange took place.

Boss: "Okay, initiative..."

Me (unable to stop myself): "I rolled a six."

Boss: "Huh?"

Boss's boss: "Yeah, but I got surprise on you."

Boss: "What are you two talking about?"


I had no idea my boss's boss was an ex-gamer!

A couple of friends of mine, not that long ago, found out that one of the most senior of managment (a VP, IIRC) was a gamer -- because they found a PHB & some character notes open on his desk when they went to his office to talk to him!

My boss's boss, who heard I had written a book (Ninja Hero) asked me about it. So I described the AB project. Some time later, his kids are in with him at work.

"This is Mr. Mike. He makes monsters."

"Drat foiled by Zit Cream!"

Another Teamspeak funny. When fighting large crowds, you need some form of crowd control...

A: "We're doing fine with sheep, sleep and fear."

B: "Sounds like my honeymoon."

[Dr. Anomaly]

Boy...trying to make this clear without actually using anything forbidden...well, I'll try. This is from tonight's game:

"You know, I can give you a third @nus."

Ok, a friend of ours was visiting for a couple of weeks and was bringing in a new char. The rest of the party was already in the middle of the adventure in another plane, really nasty place.
We enter this large room to find a psycho looking female fighter type with a glowing blue sword.
Most of the party are understandably nervous, except for the female elf mage of the party who waves and starts toward the figure.
When asked why she thinks she can trust the psycho with the sword,
"but, blue's not an evil color!"

Sunday, the players are talking with the press after destroying the Ice Golum, Glacier.

Sonic Boom, who has taken the role of unofficial team spokesman (for the unofficial team) is fielding questions and the press has basically run out of the good ones, now they're lobbing the 'What's your real name?' type stuff. And he calls on a pretty female reporter(and his secret ID's girlfriend - he's been trying to help her out in her "friendly competition" with fellow reporter Jimmy Dugan).
Colleen: "So, Sonic Boom, do you have a girlfriend?"
Sonic Boom : "Well.... I guess you could say I am spoken for...by Justice!"

Then he said OOC: WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THAT? DON'T YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?!

Now THAT is gimpy!

In a game a while back(Vampire system, Abberant character, it was a cross worlds), the character decided to go after a kidnapped victim dressed as "Bankerman", with his flight, speed, and indestructable briefcase.

Anyway, given the world...one of the NPCs thinks he's a Malkavian... leading to this scene.

"Ok, as you're coming up to the door you think she's in, you get hit over the back of the head."

"Does it do damage?" "Nope, but she says "You know you're supposed to fall down now.""

"Huh?" "If I hit you over the back of the head, it's lights out. It's in the rules."

"Nooo." Puzzled expression on the players face. "Of course it is. When the villian hits the hero over the back of the head, they pass out, to be tied up and then wake up later to be free."

"No." "Oh, come on, even superman does it." "Just... that makes no sense, no."

"Hey, it's in the heros and adventures handbook." "Well.... Why am I arguing with you? No."

Then proceeds to move on, though the delay gave time for another warrior team to move in.

This falls under "I'm crazy, not stupid." Back when I used to play an actual Malkavian (dressed and behaved like 'the Count from Sesame Street. There was a non-fluffy reason for it, trust me.) I would have people try stuff like that on me. I just treated them like they were mentally deficient.

*raises eyebrow* Interesting. I'd actually have to see your reasons, of course, but it's even said the best way to take on a Malkavian is by playing along with their delusions. *shrugs* Of course, at that point, the person was only playing for time anyway. The phrase "Nothing to lose" comes to mind.
