Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Funksaw]

Caleb, because Kaylyn suggested it, is wearing a loud, metallic silver raver-shirt instead of his usual basic black or denim.

Kaylyn (To Moscowitz): "Looks good doesn't he?"
Moscowitz [a 60 year old bearded guy]: Well, yer damn sparklie. Kinda suits ya. In a post-modern kinda way. Anyway, I'd bed yah. Well if I still bed at all.
Caleb looks at Moscowitz weirdly. Long pause. Finally...
Caleb: "Post-modern?"
Moscowitz: Deconstructionist Disco Verite.

Erin: It's a nice shirt, but silver?
Caleb: Well, yes.
Erin: Could melt that thing down and make enough rounds to kill a few... well you know
Caleb: Fashion critics?

Moscowitz: Don't mope, Caleb, yer shoulders drop and ya blind cars outside.

=============

Moscowitz: Shooting each other, and then getting up from it... and they say I'm lackin' in th' prerequisite subtlety.
Kaylyn: "Yes well, just because some people are looking to land on the cover of the local tabloid doesn't mean you should."
Caleb: Yeah. They never get your good side...

Moscowitz: Lucky I been around. I hadda save one poor shmuck who got caught between Dawn and Erin in a lead shower...
Caleb: Why would you want to save anyone from being between Dawn and Erin in a show--- oh, you mean a firefight.

Oh, and this is an oldie-but-goodie. Superhero game using Palladium's Heroes Unlimited (Between this and a Nightbane Campaign run with a completely different group, I learned: "All Palladium Games Eventually become Rifts," and swore off the system forever.)

Anyway, we rolled up our characters. And by that, I mean, we didn't get to choose ANY aspect of the characters. Somehow, I ended up with a speedster-brick with the baddest weapon in the game. Oh, and he was a giant monkey. Another player, seeking to avoid my hairy fate, said he was making his character from Ninjas and Superspies.

Problem is, the GM was rather stingy when it came to government assistance and equipment, to the point where the superspy's most reasonable requests were denied (granted, the player brought this upon himself by asking for a fleet of Apache helicopters to take down a single mediocre supervillian in the first session.)

Eventually it got to the point that he couldn't even get a gun. After one fruitless exchange between PC and headquarters, "Gorilla Boy" finally just came right out with it.

"Dude, you have to be like, on the absolute ass-end of the Conspiracy."

Mikkelus: Uhhh... ye did pay yer exorcist, right? Because, if not... it could be that ye're about to get repossessed.

The PCs are all at a museum gala celebrating a new exibit of Egyptian artifacts.

Me: The lights go out. As the emercency lighting comes on you see the exits are blocked by what looks like Egytian gods. you hear a booming voice echo "YOU HAVE STOLEN THE TREASURES OF AKMENATON! NOW YOU WILL PAY!"

Wharf the Drunken Cyborg: "Aloha, Bitches!" 4d6 K on the loudmouth.

Later in combat, a new PC's anime schoolgirl goes through her "Bubble Transformation" sequence in which she spins around naked in glowing bubbles as ribbons form her costume.

Wharf: "Um, Aloha bitches!"

Capt. M is trying to buy back his brownstone in the Village that was sold at action for back taxes while he was in hell. The new owner got it cheap and refuses to sell for less than 6 millions dollars. He asks Lillith if she and her ghosts can help him convince the old lady to move.

"Wait, you want me to pimp out my ghosts so you can get cheap real estate!?! That's so unethical I can't even believe you! Um, OK."

[Shikarr]

And from our famous Gadgeteer in the group came this little ditty.

"Something else strange, about 40 of the dots suddenly got close together and are blinking."
"What does blinking mean?" Asks Geiger.
"On, off, on, off. How the hell am I supposed to know what the hell blinking means on this damn machine, do I have a 101 Genocide manual on how it works!"

Background: The knight Corsak attacked the party, was wounded and captured, and was to stand trial the next day along with his men. He was murdered in his sleep. Arrik comes back from scouting the road ahead.

Michael: Arrik, Corsak's been murdered. Looks like a professional hit.

Arrik: Well, I guess his trial won't take long, then.

************************************

Background: Bert had critically failed the last two times he read his tarot cards.

Bert: The cards say we'll have an uneventful night. Nothing of consequence will happen.

Rest of the party: We're doomed.

From our CHAMPIONS camaign where holographic Imperial Storm Troopers and Darth Vader started rampaging from a theatre.

"How am I doing? I'm getting my @$$ kicked by Darth Vader. Okay?"

Some DunDraCon quotes, though not actually from my game (hey, I was busy and couldn't write anything down):

To a just-reawakened team mate:

"Don't move, Umbral...I've got to take this out of your heart first."

Caleb's car has just been possessed and was about to drive straight into Regina's prized Harley-Davidson.

Regina: So.. I'll ask you again.. who did you piss off this time, Caleb?"
Caleb: I don't know, alright!
Regina: Oh. Sure you do... These things.. don't just happen..
Caleb: This only started happening, since about 5 days ago. I haven't pissed anyone else off since then. Honest!
Regina: Ever seen an exorcist, Caleb?
Caleb: The last time I saw an exorcist, you got mad at me when they blackmailed me into spying on you...
Regina: Hell. I can't even remember half of your insane antics..you've done so much shit.. (Local big muckety-muck) Snow's got a whole drawer devoted just to you.
Caleb: Really? Can I see it?

-----

Caleb: Let's think about this rationally. I haven't pissed off any Necromancers recently. Haven't pissed on any graves, haven't killed anyone.
(A new PC, Clayton, comes into the scene mid-sentence.)
Caleb: Did kill a seeing-eye-dog. Maybe the blind guy wandered off into traffic?
Regina: You killed a seeing eye dog?
Kaylyn: I wasn't even going to go there.
Caleb: I didn't <i>know</i> it was a seeing-eye dog.
Clayton: You killed a innocent animal. That's horrible!
Regina: I'd haunt your ass too... you freak.
Caleb: It's not important
Kaylyn: Well, it was to the blind guy, but I don't think that's the cause of your problem.
Clayton: That's just plain wrong. you killed a blind mans dog?
Caleb: I didn't know the guy was blind!

------

Clayton is admiring Regina's bike, touching the paint job. (Remember, this conversation is ALL IC)

Clayton: This yours? Nice.
Caleb: I'd watch out. The last person who touched Regina's bike without her permission was... well, that was me. And my life's a living hell.
Regina: He's not taking an axe to it, genius.
Caleb: I had a very good reason for taking the axe to the Harley.
Kaylyn: You took an axe to Gina's Harley?
Caleb: It was a long time ago. And she was evil then. I think. Wait, why did I take the axe to the Harley? Maybe we should check the drawer.
Kaylyn: You really are lucky to be alive.
Regina: Yeah, well you're a dumbass. You were hanging out with Fury then.
Caleb: Oh, that's right. that's when <i>I</i> was evil... Yeah, sorry Reg.
Regina: The only reason I didn't kill you.. is Snow thought you were useful. Imagine that...
Caleb: Well, goes to show he's not that great a judge of character...

"Where's Elfis?"
"He's left the building."

(After an hour of futiley seeking direction)
"Forget the 'Ask the dead'. Cast an 'augury'."
"Oh, that's good. Switch from 'Stump the Dead' to a round of 'Stump the Gods'."

From a game I ran a bit ago. It's an alt Marvel world, loosely based on the Morgan Le Fae Arc. Characters include the Juggernaut, Wolverine, A son of the Summers Family, and a son of Collosus and Kitty Pride.

Juggernauts player: "I think I would like that, but are you sure you wish to risk it? The King's Vengeance is likely to seek me out, and it seems that most consider me a monster." (Note: The evil version of the Avengers)


Sir Gabriel Grey: Ah.. *he smiles* it is a long list that hunts I and my friend, what are a few more?


Wolverine's player*Logan turns his head towards England, hawks, and spits on the ground*

SGG: or.. *he coughs* put more bluntly..

SGG: uh.. that.


Later on, as they encounter the group sent to get the Juggernaut (Note: Iron Knight is Iron Man)

*After a failed attack by the Prince*

GM:The Iron knight, even only half aware, still moves like an expert, twisting just enough in midair to aim his weaponry at the Prince's back

SGG: *his eyes widen, then narrow as he sees the Knight aim towards the back of his opponent "churl to strike as this! base churl! turn and face me in challenge!" he streaks up into the sky in a trail of fire, sword raised quickly to his face in salute, then brought down in a powerful overhand strike towards the knight*

GM: Gabriels strike barely hits the false Knight, but it does hit... He's shaken, reeling back for a moment "You dare strike at me. Name yourself, fool, so I can send your shield back to your patron." *Bit Later, as Gabriel and the Iron Knight face off against each other*


Prince Henry: "Thank you for the assist, Sir Grey. . ." *with that, Henry circles back around, approaching Iron Knight from the opposite side as Gabriel and solidifies his arm to deliver a punch to his back*


*Knocks out the Iron Knight*


SSG: *he sighs* it is not meet to reciprocate strikes such as his in kind your grace...


Prince Henry: *looks slightly embarassed* "Forgive me. Perhaps I was taught differently, on the matter of honor in battle. . ."

From my Redwood Academy Teen Supers PBEM. Liane is a neo hippie, Harmony is a Goth. Being 13 year old girls, of course they bicker constantly. After a recent session involving breaking up some gay rights protesters....

Harmony "So, we actually agree. I guess we're not so different after all."

Liane: "No, I guess not."

Bit of a pause.....

Harmony "If this is supposed to be one of those emotional, After School Special bonding moments, I'm really not feeling it."

Liane: "Me either."

Harmony: "Later, Geek."

Liane" "Bye, Vampirella."

Right before the game started, the usual banter takes place. I've told player 2 she needs to use a water bottle on player 1 when he is sarcastic to her. (Player 1 & 2 have been dating for two years.)

Player 1: Why must you hit me?

Player 2: Because you don't learn any other way.

Player 3: Use the water bottle.

Player 1: Helping or hurting [Player 3]? Helping or hurting?!

[Kirby]

From the same group as above, player 3 hasn't read comics and her RPG experience dwells from White Wolf and D&D, so she's having to adjust to the life of playing a hero. Her character has a multiform that is a feline hybrid. Her PC's name is "Cheetah Chick" and her cat form is based off both Jaguar from 4E Champions and Ocelote (4E Asesinos), so she has a 3d6+1 HKA (claws). She had previously taken a few body from Snapdragon, a highly-skilled martial artist (who also has a tail and a 3d6+1 HKA).

Player 3: "I want her spleen!"

That's sort of her character's quote now.
