    This does not qualify as a quote (except for the fact that I am, indeed, quoting it).

    Also, I´m not sure why magesighting an alien ship is all that stupid. It´s alien- but are there magic items? Do the aliens use magic? MY concern would be that it´d somehow snap the mind of the mystic...
    Eosin- ~ "'Wrong' is a D&Dism ~ 'I do it this way' is a Heroism."

    SCUBA Hero- "If you did Turn the Palindromedary, how would you know? "

    Roxanna: I need a margarita.
    Niels: I don't think Dwarves make mixed drinks.
    Ithan: That's because when Dwarves mix their alcohol, they get fire and explosions!

    It would be wonderful. It would be like that scene in that movie that everyone quotes where the one guy says something awesome to the other guy.

    I was running a superhero game where I was planning to have the team ambushed by the enemy (an enemy, I should add, that the PCs knew existed and was out to get them). The PCs informed me that they were going to go out and "score a brick of hash" and share it among themselves. Two of the PCs declined, but the others proceeded to get deeply intoxicated. One of the sober PCs then tried to drive them home, and ran into the ambush. By a combination of bad dice, the driver was taken out quickly and the other sober PC took a shot that messed up his powers (he had requested a radiation accident, and this was step 1 in that process). I'd ruled that the stoned PCs needed to make DEX checks to get out to the fight, which they kept failing miserably. This lead to the comment "Forget getting out of the car, roll to find your toes!"

    That group had "Roll to find your toes" as a similar codephrase.

    (They were supposed to win that fight...)

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    new campaign! The following are quotes from character creation. the players are:
    Silverbolt: Mage Energy Projector
    Steamjack: Steam-tech Power-Armor
    Ultrasaur: Corporate Mutant Brick
    Pinpoint: Acupuncture Martial Artist
    Andy: Mutant with Snot Powers (not present this time)

    The quote that caused me to activate the recording function on my computer:
    Steamjack: Do nuns really count as sentient beings?
    Ultrasaur: No, I think they're parasites.
    Steamjack: Feeding of god?
    Ultrasaur: Yeah … it's not as funny the second time around.
    Steamjack: No, it really isn't.
    Ultrasaur: Damn you, recorder, damn you!

    Ultrasaur has been playing champions for five seconds and is already tired of some genre traits:
    Ultrasaur: Is Shamrock right up there with the Leprechaun and O'flamady along with Genericman and Clichéwoman?
    GM: Welcome to the superhero genre, if it isn't a cliché it doesn't belong here.

    The GM's introduction to the campaign:
    GM: To discuss you guys we have to go across the sea to the town of Detroit.
    Silverbolt (only player who knows the Champions setting): oh, crap.
    Steamjack: how long does this take?
    GM: you travel at the speed of montage, the only thing faster than bad news.

    The player's have a low tolerance for generic names:
    GM: Detroit was attacked in the year 2004 (I moved the setting ten years ahead, to be better able to play around with the end of the Mayan calendar) by the super villain Doctor Destroyer, a German scientist.
    The players chuckle.
    Steamjack (dripping with sarcasm): Wow, very original.
    GM: Not my character, this stuff's official.

    No clue where this came up:
    Steamjack: If it looks like a diamond, smells like a diamond and tastes like a diamond… it's probably carbon.

    A question of opponents:
    Pinpoint: Are there any funky bad guys, like the Foreign Minister?
    GM: The foreign minister is not a bad guy … as far as you know. He might be Doctor Destroyer … in disguise!

    Some characters are stranger than others:

    GM: So you want to be a steam powered...
    Steamjack: A steam powered power armor. There does not have to be anyone in it.
    ...
    Steamjack: Boiling water is not known for its intelligence.

    No comment:
    Ultrasaur: If I'm wearing a acid proof gag it's either furries or VIPER, either way some one would rescue me.
    Silverbolt: Or Summon Popcorn.

    The naming of teams is a difficult matter:

    Ultrasaur: you may call me X2-3725, or Ultrasaur.
    Silverbolt: Alright, C3PO, we need to stop with the complex names. But speaking of names, what shall we call our little gathering. I suggest The Magnificent Silverbolt and his Loyal and Stuart Minions.

    Ultrasaur: How about the Millennium City Hexes?
    Steamjack: that would be a better name if there were six of us.
    Silverbolt (looking through phonebook): and its a bowling club.

    Pinpoint (OOC): I watched a lot of TV before coming to America, so (IC) How about the Justice League?
    Silverbolt: That's a private security company.

    Ultrasaur: How about the Millennium League.
    Silverbolt: Bowling league.

    Ultrasaur: How about the Millennium City Axis? We're in Millennium City, and we're superheroes; Axis because we're on the axis of good.
    Silverbolt: Pluming company.
    Walter (DMPC): You know, we could buy naming rights for any of these.

    Silverbolt: We could go with the Millennium City Guard … if that weren't a Taco company … huh, strange.

    To make a long story short, while assaulting an alien ship (let me repeat myself to make things clear, AN. ALIEN. SHIP), the GM asks the mystic for his action.

    He says, "I magesight the ship to see if there's anything magical on board."

    This actually stopped the game as the GM stared at the player in disbelief.

    So "I magesight the alien ship" became our codephrase for "that's a really stupid action."

    On the one hand you want realism, on the other you want a playable game. We can argue about this all night long, but until you all line up against the wall and let me shoot you, we are not going to learn anything. ~Sean Waters

    Space Opera:

    Discussing pregnant PCs:
    Me: “Don’t worry, the baby counts as armor!”

    ----------------------

    It's a Party!
    Autumn: “Vodka with a cherry in it. I made fruit punch!”

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

    Hunter the Vigil:

    Best without explanation:
    GM (OOC): “Hooray for racism Thursday!”

    ---------------------

    On the fate of a Hobo:
    Mike (IC): “He’s dead.”
    GM (OOC): “No, he’s alive-ish…”
    Glitch (me, OOC): “Alive-ish?”

    ----------------------

    A guest star suggests a "both guns blazing" approach:
    Glitch: “When did we turn into Master Chief?”

    --------------------

    Concerning, uh... different tactics:
    GM: “He throws the old man at you!”
    Kane (OOC): “Hobo-douken!”

    -----------------------

    Stuck in a sewer:
    Kane: “Quick, throw the rope down!”
    Glitch: ::Buffalo Bill accent:: “It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again.”
    Kane: “Very funny Hannibal!”

    Couple more I forgot:

    GM: Glitch, you see on the camera feed that the animal control officer doesn't see the half-a-zombie crawling towards her.
    Glitch: "I press record. What happens on the hunt, stays on You Tube."
    Mike (OOC): "You're recording snuff?!"
    Glitch (OOC): "Have you *seen* some of the crap on You Tube? Seriously."

    -------------------

    Laughing about half-a-zombie:
    GM: It's the top half of a zombie. It's not the legs.
    group: ::collective groan::
    Mike (OOC): "That would'a been great. Just a set of legs wandering the city, kicking people."
    Glitch (OOC): "We could have made it our mascot. Stumpy!"
    group: ::stares awkwardly at me::
    Glitch (OOC): "What? It'd be cool... I know I wasn't the only one thinking it!"

    ------------------------

    Shuffling through my inbox:
    Glitch (mostly OOC): ::motions clicking through e-mails:: "Spam, Spam, Junk, Spam, Porn, Junk, Porn, Porn, HOLY CRAP, GHOSTS! ... Porn, Spam, Spam..."
    "How do you vampirize someone made of metal?"
    "With a drill press?"

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

    An old one from the FASA Star Trek game (Classic/Original Series). I wound up playing the Captain. My future wife is playing the Vulcan XO. We trace some anomalous energy readings to a planet and, in true classic Trek manner, order the entire senior staff (aka the PCs) to the transporter room.

    Now, as I'm guessing most of you know, the captain is not supposed to go on away teams, to say nothing of the general stupidity of beaming down the entire command crew. So, tactfully, the XO remarks, "Captain, is it wise for the entire bridge crew to beam down at the same time?" obviously hinting that my butt should stay in the command chair.

    My response? "You are, of course, correct. You stay here and mind the store." I then hit the turbolift before she could raise an objection.
    "See? That's how you have an adventure! Make a stupid decision and follow through!"
