Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Kirby]

Well, my game group is taking a few weeks off since the GM got married on Saturday. I suppose that makes the quote of the week "I do."

Let us know if next week's quote ends up being "I did what?!"

[AdamLeisemann]

This was from long ago in a D&D X-Crawl game. I just entered the game with a human rogue, and one of the other players was playing a halfling who was a bit of a gloryhound. After a rough fight, the announcer said something about how there was no love from the forces of luck. The halfling then said "But my sword gives me love." Then I said something that got the whole group to stop and laugh, including the GM, who was a lady.

The line was, "Yeah, yeah, stroke that thing..." And I was refering to either the sword or the ego. I think it was the ego.

[Balabanto]

In addition to running a 20 year Champions Campaign, I also run a very long D+D campaign.

When I did this, one of the first characters I ever created as a GMPC was a Ranger who eventually wound up acquiring 900 volumes of a boring series of books entitled "History of the Northern Orc Tribes."

Not being one to optimize, I figured I would blow some points on "Knowledge: History of the Northern Orc Tribes" I figure, this is pretty useless, yet cool. In general, it should be noted that the character was fairly ill tempered and cranky, and could be called a bitch by some, and ruthlessly expedient for a lawful good character by others.

So, I'm running a session last night, and one of the PC's runs off and makes themselves pretty much unfindable. The other PC's talk to some NPCs, and they remember that the PC had been forcibly betrothed to an Orc Prince by her father.

Powerful Wizardess contacted by party: Well, you could talk to your friend, Raisha. Isn't she supposed to be knowledgable about those sorts of things?

Me, in My Head: God, I just screwed myself, didn't I? This was NEVER supposed to be THIS useful.

Party of Adventurers: Hey, wait. Yeah. This was a GREAT idea!

Party Bard: Wait...you know the Princess Raisha Djenispol in Exile? And you didn't tell me?

Party Wizard: It didn't seem important at the time.

Party Barbarian/Sorcerer/Ranger: Yeah. She's nice.

It was at this point that I burst out laughing and had to give the player playing the Barbarian/Sorcerer/Ranger a small D+D XP award for 5 XP. In TWENTY YEARS OF GAMING, that was the LAST thing I ever expected anyone to say about that character.

(OOC) "Oh yes because Chilly Willy is SUCH a sexy penguin!"

(said as the ex-call girl/vigilante whip wielding, wet dream's player picked a item to represent her on the battle map)

[Karmakaze]

The hero team has found a villains PDA and they find a list of heroes on it. They decide let the heroes on the list to know to have their guard up, as they might be the killer's next targets. Sparkle and Sable were assigned to warn Unicorn, who happens to already be on the sick list due to a (presumably) unrelated battle earlier in the week.

Sparkle: Hi! We're from AMI - you maybe saw us on the news from the hospital. Anyway, we found the Mystery Killer's PDA and it had a list on it and we don't know what it means, but we figure knowing him it's something bad. Your name is on the list, so we thought we'd come by and tell you about it so, you know, if anything bad happens to you in the near future, you can say "hey, that's what that list thing was all about!"

and a few moments later...

Sparkle: Why does everyone always look at me like that?

[Susano]

From Session 13 of SHADOWS ANGELUS
(virtually all of this is OOC)

"Remind me to order one size larger underwear."

"The esper formally known as Yiska."

"Skeleton fight in a pron movie. Talk about giving someone a boner."

Jenna J Jamieson -- editor of an X-rated paper, no doubt.

GM: Do you want to push?
Yiska: Well, I only use this in a life and death situation.
Mike (OOC): What do you think this is!?!

Yar: Is this (sword) a Common Melee Weapon?
GM: Yes!
Yar: YES!

Yiska: Carpenter's down, Hemelshot's got the sword, Tyger's been grabbed... everything's gone to snuff.

Mike fires off a 12d6 EB at the enemy: 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 3, 2, 2.
That's 57 STUN, 18 BODY!

Okay, here's some more quotes from last saturday's Defenders Congregate game. By the way, Black Harlequin was the bad guy in this adventure.

"I want to abort to blast the fish."

" I was concentrating you big metal oaf!"

"Hey, metal man here! Fire bad, water good."

"Don't write yourself into my backstory!"

"I don't care what you say, Cop Rock..um rocked!"

Rampant Lion (new pc): You really are fantastic!
Fantastic-Man: THAT"S What SHE SAID!.....*sigh*......No not really, I haven't had a date in months."

Tomorrow Boy (on meeting the new PC): Nice costume by the way.
Rampant Lion (swashbuckling archer from across the pond): You like it? You know I was going for a kind of flambouyant yet practical....."
Fantastic-Man (not batting an eye): "He's fifteen!"

Tomorrow Boy has found two technicians ducked tape together sitting on a gaudy colored pakage. Obvisuosly an explosive device with a deadman switch. Being alone, TB had to think fast. He took off his Quantum Destabilizer off of his costume. It allowed him to be harder to hit by phasing him in and out of reality for a milisecond. He carefully attatched that to the pakage. He then activated the device and grabbed the techs with his TK.
After the bomb exploded, in the nether regions of millaseconds, TB turned to the techs and said:

Tomorrow Boy: "*whew* I didn't think that would actually work."

One of the techs preceded to faint

During a playtest for King of the Mountain, hopefully to be appearing in Digital Hero sometime next year.

Yo-Yo, to Ultra Gadget Queen G (That's right! Yo-Yo, master of Yo-Yo's and Robot Elvises, makes an appearance in this adventure): You DARE to mock me by controlling one of my robots and then shooting me with a marshmellow cannon? You will PAY for this!

Gideon (From Across the Battlefield): That's okay! We mock her too!

[Enforcer84]

Evorahn: I have patience, I have will. I put up with foolishness and petty backstabbing from the two headed man because, he amuses me. You are not of my pack. I don't care that you are on fire and I fear not your half-orc hands of death. Sit down, shut up, and you'll survive to make a formal introduction.

Followed by:
Thank you grandfather. But I fear your congragulatory outburst may have ruined the aura of menace I had worked so hard for. No Grandfather, I'm not saying I don't want your advice. You know what? I really don't talk much, I follw the lead of the Pack and I'm uncomfortable with everyone looking at me. Especailly when I am talking to a sword. I'm sorry grandfather, I shouldn't have reminded you.


This game just got a little interesting.

The dinosaur, angered and frightening by the sudden attack, rushed to
join its companions as they stampeded to the northwest, a direction
that took them farther out of range and into the center of the plateau.


Since the dinosaurs were fleeing, Fal Ko waved his companions down.

"Let's go," he said. "We've done enough damage here."

[Drhoz]

PCs and various members of the Warmachine on the roof of a 10-story hospital, throwing each other off.
Random member of staff, down in the foyer : (THUMP!) What was that? (THUMP!) There it is again!

Yo-Yo, to Ultra Gadget Queen G (That's right! Yo-Yo, master of Yo-Yo's and Robot Elvises, makes an appearance in this adventure): You DARE to mock me by controlling one of my robots and then shooting me with a marshmellow cannon? You will PAY for this!

Gideon (From Across the Battlefield): That's okay! We mock her too!

*slaps forehead*

Dammit, I wrote a villian group called "Peanut Gallery" for Digital Hero, and one of the characters I came up with was "Yo-Yolanda."

[Balabanto]

Well, Funky (You don't mind if I call you funky, do you?), don't blame me. Blame Marvelous Mark Arsenault and the "Throwing Stars and Bars" adventure.

It's 4th edition, but I had a little chat with Mark and everything's fine. Void, from GSVC, makes an appearance in the adventure too. Aaron Allston said go ahead.

[Sundog]

The Edge is working on a case involving murderous Furbies -

Miss Chaos to Zero: "Check their minds. See if Black Paladin is here."

Terminus: "Black Harlequin."

Miss Chaos: "You look for who you're worried about, I'll look for who I'm worried about!"

(It turned out it wasn't the Furbies - it was Terminator T-800 dolls inside Furbies. They were promptly dubbed "Furbinators".)

[Villianous Scum]

My players run a team of heros out of Viboro Bay called The Stormguard. They don't really work as a team that often and have no team leader and its caused some issues and they are noted for a certain sloppyness. They are currently dealing with an attempt by the Dragon to escape envolving the the Elemental Gems of man and not doing well in their own estimation. Frustrated with this situation Providence an Angel that has joined the team at the Lords direction made the following empassioned statement. "Some thing hasn't been done around here and its something that needs to be done. God is not happy about it."

The drunken warrior timewarped from the Turakian age (yeah its a weird group) quickly quiped about a split second after Providences statement. "The keg needs refilled." (noding sagely) Everyone laughed and that sort of derailed Providences attempt to force them to name a leader.
