Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Tim]

Or a Pirate of Penzance,
Who want's to sing and Dance,
with bright shiny buckles and bell bottom pants.

[rebeccared50]

This happened to the same group I inflicted "Wallace" on...
Slim, the elf street samurai is trying to finigle some information from a pair of Trolls who had maybe 1 point of intelligence between the two of them (sometimes stereotypes are FUN!)
Slim " so do you know the name of the guy who was in here last night"

Troll looks puzzled, confers with his brother, turn back to Slim and replies "Yes"

Slim "Can you tell me his name?"


Troll looks puzzled, confers with his brother, turn back to Slim and replies "No"

this goes for several minutes, with Slims frustration obviously mounting. Finally he bribes them with "Stuffers" (ie: Shadowrun junk food) to get the info he needs, but most of the fun was the GM watching the player trying to come up with the right questions to ask. Occasionally I enjoy being sadistic.

And I'm suprised John T. didn't post this one, since he's the one who did this (I think)

Many moon ago, we were putting together Champions character for a new campaign, and the GM asked Jack, who was buiding a Brick with some Mentalist powers to describe the special effects for his characters powers. Jack replies with "By the Powers of my mind I can make myself incredably dense."
To which John follows up with "Duh." (the kind of noise a less than average intelligence person makes when their thinking REALLY HARD.)
We all fell out, and we never let Jack live it down.

[rebeccared50]

And one more...

We're playing Mechwarrior, standard gaming configuration, drinks and snacks intermixed with dice and character sheets. The GM is describing the battle we're about to plunge into, not a pretty one, we're outnumbered badly and stand a good chance of losing. The GM asks our leader for his plan, to which, the player, who has just knocked over his soda onto his character sheet , replies "I wet my Mech!" Is that what they call alternate realities paralleling each other?

...I am too a pirate.

[CrosshairCollie]

"By the Powers of my mind I can make myself incredably dense."

Reminds me of an old Hawk and Dove, after they discovered new powers offworld, and they were just about to transform for the first time back on Earth ...

Hawk: "It still works! You can fly and I got dense!"
Dove: "I'm not touching that one."

[Samuraiko]

Then there's one of the better ones from my 7th Sea campaign, involving Slim and John T...

The PCs are currently attending a masquerade party held by the Duke de Crieux. Unfortunately, as things happen, his daughter could pass for the identical twin of one of the PCs... and just to be cute, the PC and the daughter decide to wear identical costumes to play a joke on the other guests. Well, the daughter's lover arrives to whisk her away and save her from an arranged marriage, and nearly whisks away the wrong woman.

In trying to stop the would-be abductor, one of our other PCs (Gekko, I believe he goes as on here) pulls out a pistol and fires at the man, but misses and hits the nearby keg of rare Highland whiskey, spilling whiskey all over the ballroom floor.

Slim (the outraged Irishman who sees this) *shouting in dismay to the other PC with a thick Irish accent*: "You shot the keg? How could you?!"

He then throws his glass of fine Castillian (read: Spanish) wine to the floor in a gesture of disgust, to which John's Castillian wine afficiando cries out (in a thick Spanish accent): "You threw the wine! How could you?!"

We thought it was funny as hell, since it so summed up all three characters - Slim as a whiskey-loving Irishman, John as a wine-loving Castillian, and Gekko as his usual rotten shot.

And since I'm surprised that neither RebeccaRed50, John T, nor Slim McCoy has posted this yet... this is the theme song of our 7th Sea Group, sung to the tune of "Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle of Rum." Sorry it's so long, but it's good.

RebeccaRed50 is “I’m your every fantasy, cash in advance only” Gabrielle, Slim is “I’m just like the Highwayman, only I’m cooler” Connor, John T is “My name is Don Inigo Montoya de Soldano del Castillo, Lord Drachenheim” Inigo, Gekko is “50 uses for Montaigne wine” Gustaphe, Amused is “No, no, no, SHE’S the courtesan, I’M the bodyguard” Vera, and yours truly is TaraLeila. We rock.

Eight PCs on a dead man’s chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Beat Elaine’s Knights, we’re the best, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Tempting promise, sexy guile, ever in Gabrielle’s smile,
Practically invented style!
Loves amour and loves to dance, she lives only for romance
But without cash, you’ve got no chance! Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs, the pirates’ bane, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
As we fly colours of Elaine, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Once the Highwayman, you see, stealing kisses and money
Elaine’s men ended his highway spree
Now with Glamour in his soul, Sidhe mischief’s taking its toll
Connor seeks to make his heart whole, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs on the high seas, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Dispatching pirates with casual ease, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Diego’s left the family line, seeks his fortune ‘cross the brine
He lives for Castillian wine
With dark and dashing handsome looks, you’ll never find his nose in the books
He’s out defeating Montaigne crooks, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs ride ‘cross the land, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Saved Montague from Matushka’s hand, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Second fiddle Vera plays to her sister’s lusty ways
As long as some horny fool pays
So she watches Gabrielle’s back against a sneaky foe’s attack
Now is not the time to slack! Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs living like lords, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Saved the O’Bannon from iron swords, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Gustaphe Le Brun’s on the run, deserting simply isn’t done
Now he looks out for number one
With beer mugs he’s a deadly shot, with pistols, well, he’s not so hot
He gives the Knights all that he’s got, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs off to Montaigne, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Montgomery Pearson’s quite a pain, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
A woman born of dark and light, her Clan destroyed in just one night
Has never known rapture’s delight
As TaraLeila now she’s known, Unseelie hunter of renown
All her life she’s been alone, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs ‘cross Théah ride, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
It’s simply not our style to hide, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Vito’s usually in the dark, his knives, they rarely miss their mark
In fact this whole jaunt’s just a lark
Now this Vodacce had to flee Villanova’s death decree
For this, HIS death he’s sworn to see, Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Eight PCs looking for trouble, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
We just give Vito cash to double, yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!
Inigo’s not known to laugh, he’s actually missing his other half
Loves to watch his cousin gaffe
Castillian wine’s his favorite thing, guitar he’ll play and songs he’ll sing
Then be El Vago for a fling! Yo ho ho and a bottle of wine!

Cheers,
Michelle

My vote for for this month's best quote from my campaign goes to my brother who was GM'ing this past Friday:

GM: Wendy, you are having your harp moved when suddenly, a lady wearing an opera outfit with cardboard wings steps out. "Give me your harp! I am searching for the perfect harp with which I shall take over the world!"

Me (thinking to self): Huh? Is this a lame villain or something?

GM: You may call me: Harp-ee!

(everyone burst out laughing)

As plain a pun as this may seem, no one saw it coming.

We have a plan: the team's resident "sneak" is going to break into the bad guy's lair, reconnoiter, and plant explosives. We're hiding outside, and when he's ready for us to come in and rescue the hostages, he's going to give us a signal.

Things go disasterously for him. He gets spotted by guards, so he rabbits (he's no good in a fight). Still waiting outside, we hear him screaming for help. I turn to one of the others and say, "Do you think that's the signal?"

"Nope, couldn't be. Victor's much too subtle for that to be the signal."

We kept him hanging on for about 10 minutes, until he finally started yelling, "This is the signal!!!"

Okay, there was much debate and arguement over whether or not this could constitute the quote of the week from our gaming group. But I think it was funny and so I am posting it.

"Somebody climb into the pitfall to keep Don company."

Or,

"Don, search the chamberpots for magic items".

Anyone remember the old Protector's Hero Group? Here are some quotes from around the old game table with Scott Heine at the helm as our Game Master...

Situation: An agent is holding a woman hostage during, what should be, the early "easy" part of an adventure. While several heroes are trying to decide how to negotiate with the Viper agent and save the hostage the player of Helios pipes up. "Ok so I blast him...I use my most powerful killing attack and I blast the Viper Agent."

Helios goes on to roll three one's on his attack roll and incinerates the poor female hostage on the spot. As our entire Hero Team (almost all of us have high levels of Code versus Killing) gape at the smoldering crater that was the hostage Helios turns to us all and shrugs saying...

"Oh well...no more hostage situation."

The various incarnations that Mechanon would appear in as a reoccuring villain in some of the more tongue in cheek Protector's episodes...

"The Mecha-Salesmen" Mechanon decides that commerce is the way to conquer the world and opens his own assertive door to door vaccum cleaner salesman business.

"Mecha-Tree" Mechanon decides that the most populous life form on earth are planets and decides to organize a revolt among the trees of the national forest against their vile human oppressors.

"Mecha-Claus" This one was one of mine. Mechanon decides that the way to conquer earth is to steal christmas. To do so he uses a shrink ray and kidnaps hundreds of Macy's christmas santas figuring that sooner or later he'll capture the REAL santa claus and then the world will be doooomed doooomed.
Mechanon dresses up in a santa suit and holds the mini santa clauses hostage in glass christmas bulbs on his tree.

Situation: The Protectors are involved in a potentially universe ending plot thread where they can either talk their way out or creatively think their way out of a situation or risk ending the entire universe... Helios' player again decides that he's finished waiting for the rest of us to try and figure out the situation and man of action that he is decides to risk everything by taking out the bad guy with an attack...

Scott, something like..."Are you CERTAIN you want to do this. If you do I am going to have you roll a dice. If you roll a 1,2 or 3 the universe is ok. If you roll a 4,5 or 6 the entire Universe is destroyed and all of you with it..."

Helios. "What could possibly go wrong..." "Sure I'll roll"

Visions of screaming flaming hostages swam before the eyes of several Protector's players that evening but it was a pretty hilarious moment for those that were there.

I'm hoping that it was three sixes or that it was an unluck roll. Seems like a bad penalty for rolling the best possible.

In today's "New Sentinels" game session, Horus-Re discovered that Starguard's power was apparently torn from the body of a murdered angel, and invested in her against her will, as an unintended consequence of some mad satanic ritual.

He took the angel's body up to the edge of space, and said these words, into the vacuum, to mark its passing.

"She does well with Your power, with Your spirit, if that is any comfort. She is a marvel with it."

"I know [the spoken word] does not carry here, but I prefer the gesture, and it is written in the scriptures of Your own people that the mother of one of the greatest of the sacred judges spoke soundlessly to the Divine and was heard."

"I must apologize for one more thing to You while I can, even if it is in advance. As I say, /she/ does well with it.

"Beings such as You and I, are forceful, powerful, granted grace and majesty as part of our nature, to the point where what innate goodness, strength and wonder such as resides in a young woman.. could be overwhelmed.

"I will not allow it.

"What good she does, she will do. What grace she has, will come from herself. Your power and essence will continue to aid this world, to save this world... but it will do so through her. I ask, if You can be aware of such a thing, to be content with such a thing."

"There is goodness enough in her that should be allowed to be nurtured, allow to flourish. Do that instead. Aid in that instead. For if you seek to do otherwise, if you seek to overtake her...

... we will have words, you and I."

Folks, I have just seen a PC tell off God Himself to his face, in utmost sincerity.

Awesome.

(And no, Horus-Re is nowhere near as powerful as the Presence. He's only about as powerful as Superman or Black Adam.

And yet, because he is who he is, the Champion of the Unconquered Sun, the only child of the ancient Turakian deity of truth and justice and honor... he will take this stand, no matter the odds against him.)
