Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

The Regulators are fighting Mechanon(s). Electro, the team leader is the first on the scene of an orphanage where strange radio signals that have been controlling crack-dealing robotic snipers (long story) have originated. The rest of the team arrives and begins evacuating orphans from the the top floor while Electro is in the basement battling an unknown foe. He calls on the radio something to the effect that he's alone in the basement with Mechanon. My character, Colossus, radios back, "Stall!"

Later that fight...

After the kids have all been safely removed, the team has split up. One group heads downstairs to back up Electro against Mechanon. The others are dealing with another (?!?) Mechanon on the front lawn. Colossus is a larger-than-life-size bronze-skinned brick. Mechanon blasts at him, but only minimal damage is dealt. Colossus says, "Way wrong move, buddy." Mechanon is much faster than Colossus, and he gets another shot. Again, some damage, but nothing Colossus can't deal with. "That was your second mistake," says the bronze giant. "Really?" replies Mechanon, "What will be my next?" "STANDING STILL!" Colossus begins his haymaker attack. It's phase 6 after all. And Colossus' haymaker will land at the end of 7. Surely Mechanon will be squished before he can act on 8.. right? Right? ... Oops... Ummm, Mechanon is speed 7. He flies into the air on 7 and blasts Colossus with much RKAness. The Brass Bastion is out for the night!

Last night's rumble was awesome! I bow before Superskrull for making a butt-kicking not only tolerable, but freakin awesome!

PS Champsguy, we saved a Mechanon for you!

That's funny, Cat. Jack didn't take any stun.

From a recent D&D game.

We saw a very short half-elf while in a town. We learned that it was an elf cross-bred with a dwarf.

Bard: "And they call him... Mini-Sidhe!"

The bard died later.

Did the half elf get him, or was it the outraged fates?

The fates, and an unfortunate encounter with a roper.

I know! And the irony is that Jack is the one with all the regen! Colossus took BODY!

The greater irony is that one mechanon did that to you while I was stuck underground running from four, count them four, Mechanons. It it wasn't for all those high grade explosives I found down there...

On a time travel story to the wild wild west, and facing the prospect that the team may never return to their proper time, the Angel (real angel, wings and all) mutters "But I don't wanna be the harlot forever..."

This happened in last night's D&D game.

It was the aftermath of a grusome battle in a tiny town called Twin Bridges, in which the entire town's militia were slain by orc and hobgoblin band. Our group had one prisoner to interogate. A hobgoblin that our PC half-orc mage could speak with, but there was no guarantee he'd cooperate... the DM had me make a spot check and notice that the town innkeeper had a scroll sticking out of his apron pocket. My PC, being the thief, went immediately to investigate.

Everyone thought I was going to steal this scroll from the innkeeper. Instead I struck up a conversation and asked the innkeeper point blank what that scroll was. He said it was a spell he could use to defend himself in the battle and luckily he didn't need it. After I pressed him further, he admitted it was a Charm Person spell. I said something along the lines of "after all the trouble we went through in saving your town, you'd think you would volunteer every available aid to assisting us in interogating that prisoner. Our mage could sure use that scroll to get information form the hobgoblin.

The DM, played the innkeeper NPC perfectly, rolled his eyes and said, "Damn, I forgot to pack my bag! I didn't know I was going on a guilt trip!"

We all busted up over that. I told the DM, my PC is not a pick pocket... but she IS nosey!

(Personally, I think I should get a few extra XP for guilting the innkeeper, what do you guys think?)

My character, the wiz inventor, places the call to let Ares of Factor 7 know Psyipher gone off the reservation, in hopes of confirming whether or she took a few nukes with her on the way. Ares pooh-poohs the idea and I comment how maybe Ares is behind it, which sort of chills the rest of the conversation. I'm left thinking we may have just warned Psypher we're coming after her. After we hang up one of my team-mates (Charm) comments that she had thought he might be behind it all. I naturally asked why she hadn't said something before I made the call.

"Well, you're the super genius...."

"Yes, but that's just for Star Trek trivia!"

The Archer's a bit of a geek.



Later on that night we're breaking into an old Mechanon base Psypher has taken over and Charm decides to ride her motorcycle, with the team mage frantically clutching her, along the sides of a cylindrical elevator shaft down to the next floor.

The Archer (astride his Hawkeye-like skycycle): "And I spent hundreds of thousands taking the wheels off this thing?!"

This wasn't actually during the game, but worth mentioning anyway. Four of our gaming group live an hour from Columbus, where the rest of the players live. Most of us are experienced gamers with many years under our belt, and we've all run at least a few games in our time. The exception is Dee, who has played less than 2 years. We were giving him some tongue-in-cheek grief over the fact that he was the only person in the car who isn't currently running a game for the group.

His reply: "Hey man... don't be a player hater."

This one is from our World of Darkness to Hero conversion, run by my lovely fiance, Sudi. It stands well on its own:

"Jesus goes on 3."

Reminds me of a slightly forgettable game we were in. Sent back in time to "rescue" a few funamentalists who wanted to witness the birth of Christ.

"Phase 12, Jesus is born. Mary takes a Post-12 Recovery."

Anyone remember the fuss from Wings of the Valkyrie? Imagine what THIS scenario would cause!

You think that was bad? Until it was retconned, that adventure gave us the Four Wise Men...

Last night, in a 2nd edition AD&D game, we were fighting some skeletal undead. One of the players finally got a hit, and then rolled one point of damage. The GM commented "It's only a bone wound".
