Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Kirby]

So one of the PCs...nods and says, "That's fine, Fred."

I got it.

[zaras]

spoken at un summit to form a world government.

player: (ex sith lord with some sense evil type powers).

"Do i sense any of them are evil?"

GM: "Theyre politicians...."



my pc (an avatar of cronos with several thousand minds crammed into his head) to mentala.

"Please dont eat me!"


my pc among others during phone conversation with russian premier about ceasing hostilities in a naval attack on some of our allies.

my pc: "Um....if were talking peace you might want to do something about the nuclear mines i just placed all over your flagship."

Here is one (of a few) from my L5R game we had today.

That reminds me of one from my L5R game a while back.

The group of Samurais are traveling, looking to find a village suitable for us to stay for the night. We see ahead of us in the distance a Village with some smoke coming from it. The Crab Yojimbo goes ahead to check it out, she finds a devestated village with it's dead inhabinants scattered around the area, a rather gruesome scene. (remember in this world touching the dead is incredibly dishonourable and just the thought of sleeping near dead would repulse any of these characters). She comes back and says:

"This village will not meet our needs."

Earlier tonight, a friend ran his Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed d20, which he's been running as a kind of 'regular pick-up game' ... if you can show, you do, if not, you don't. So, the party's levels are 3,3,4,6, and 9 (which is quite a spread, all things considered). To split the party up to make appropriate challenges, our 9th level character is yanked through the floor to fight a solo opponent while the rest of us get some weaker monsters.

We dispatch our little friends in short order, and this exchange (or a rough facsimile thereof) occurs:
Me: "I'll go over to the hole and look down there. Is the monster right under the hole?"
DM: (clatter of dice) "Yes."
Me: "Okay, I'm going to drop through the hole and attack it on the way down."

My attack (and all subsequent attacks) turn out to be wholly ineffective. Meanwhile, PC2, on his turn, does this:
PC2: "I'll go over to the hole, look in, and assess the situation."
Me: "Assess the situation? THAT'S the step I forgot!"

And a standalone line ...
"Too many cooks spoil the brothel."

[DocMan]

From a Vampire game a few weeks ago.

Player: I wasn’t planning to have to role play this out.
GM: It is a Role Playing Game!

GM: You’re cutting cheese in my general direction.
(She really was slicing cheese.)

GM: You feel as if you’d walked into the lion’s den with a steak tied to your face.
Player: The kind cut from the side of a cow, not from the limb of a tree.

DocMan, you've been scarce! (pardon the interruption)

Tonight's D&D session.

I'm currently running my group through the 10th level adventure, Heart of Nightfang Spire.

They find this door in the second level of the tower:

Me, reading from the description:
The door to this champer is carved with skulls, spikes, tentacles, eyes and mouths. Words in Draconic inscribed above the lintel read, "Oggunon Sathaar is interred here. Only fools pass this threshold."

Three of my six players cry out, in unison, "That's us!"


Gotta love that bunch...

Some quotes from Saturday's "7th Sea" game...

"'Platypus' - Ussuran for 'Matushka didn't know what the hell it was either...'"

GM: "There's now about 40 of them, 10 of you."
Gustaphe to Connor: "I say we let them send for reinforcements."

Alexei: "So we're facing nearly impossible odds, and we have no concept of a plan..."
Inigo: "Sounds like our usual job description."

Jim (Gustaphe's player): "What do you mean, the garrison commander didn't have the cell keys on him?! How am I supposed to get the chains off this guy?!"
Gabrielle (who is already out of the city and helped in the earlier jail break): *twirling keys around on her finger*: "So I wonder what the other keys on this chain are for?"

Repeated statement by various Montaigne: "No... El Vago can NOT be in Ussura..."
(He is.)

"I made my Persuasion roll ... by negative one."

[Funksaw]

Caleb is worried that he may spend too much time chasing after women.

Caleb: "Would you say that I'm an inveterate philanderer?"
Erin: "Is that a nice way of saying you're a ladies man?"
Caleb: "Actually, 'ladies man' is a nice way to say 'inveterate philanderer."

Later...

Caleb: "Besides, we've already established I'm an inveterate womanizer"
Regina: "Spineless womanizer?"
Caleb: "I really have to get a thesaurus to look up a synonym for inveterate. It sounds too much like 'invertebrate'..."

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

Regina: "Maybe I can help you with your little ghost problem.. "
Caleb: "So... any details? What should I be doing?"
Regina: "Lemme ask you somethin' Caleb.. you believe in God?"
Caleb: Just the vengeful, vindictive one. Why?
Regina: "There's other sides too.. and when you start to see those ghosts.. I want you to rebuke them.. you ever hear of that? "

[pause]

Caleb: "Reg, doesn't that mean calling upon the power of Christ to compel demons to leave the mortal plane and return to hell? *That* rebuke? I don't think I can do that."
Regina: "Why not?"
Caleb: "For one, don't you need to be A) a priest, B) somewhat faithful, C) entertain the possibility that God might actually listen to *my* prayers, and D) require a God that isn't a complete choad? Can't I rebuke them with one of the fun gods? I like Bacchus."
Regina: (slow, deliberate breath.) "No.. you don't have to be a priest.. but you do gotta have faith.. and you already know that demons exist... They hear you.. what makes you think God doesn't? "
Caleb: "Oh, he hears me. He just doesn't *listen.*"
Regina: "Maybe he does Caleb... it'll work.. trust me.. if you believe it will."
Caleb: He's like a Jewish mother whose son grew up to be a gay stripper in the East Villiage rather than a doctor... he doesn't acknowledge that I exist, I'm such a dissapointment. Goin' out. Murdering people, taking his name in vain, coveting women of all stripes. Putting Bacchus before him. Ach, such a schundik!"
Regina: (Shrugs) "You could always keep livin' with the hauntings."
Caleb: "Oy, gevalt!"

[Kirby]

Heh, I think I like Regina.

[Funksaw]

Yeah, Regina's hilarious in a down-home country wiseass sort of way. (Because Regina's player is.) Most of these gaming quotes come from online gaming... I've been putting it off if only because I didn't want you to get the wrong impression, and I don't want to ruin it, but there's a V:TM irc channel that, well... it's not that it's gone far off cannon but they ditched the system, threw in house rules, and basically said "f-it" to the whole "You're supposed to play vampires a specific way, all angst and gloom and personal horror." The end result is that it's ostensibly VTM, but it plays kinda like Buffy if it was written by the writers of the West Wing. Give me a PM if you're interested in joining in. They could always use new players.

Who cares how they play? The quotes are fantastic!

I'm just saying I like that character's responses that were put up. (Caleb feels so cliched to me.) It's okay, you don't have to explain the rest of the game, and it's not like no one else has played Vampire without changing things about it.

[Captain Obvious]

You can play the WoD games without changing stuff?
