Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Drhoz]

You forgot to include "inside trader" in Zero's description.

Weldun, on the other hand...sounds like the poor bugger ran smack dab into a
Porn Singularity rather than the usual Smut Field that seems to be par for the
course for this particular group of players.

We theorise that it's because Purrdence was on her way to the Guild at the time - so her Smut Field was under compression. A blue-shifted Smut Field, as it were.

A Smut Field with its own warp drive...now there's a scary thought.

Of course, the bright side to that is if Earth's about to be invaded by aliens, all
anyone needs to do is to launch Purrdence into space right at them. Just a few
seconds of exposure to such a powerful Smut Field, and the ETIs'll be smothered
by such a blanket of sexual innuendo that they'll flee the Solar System in stark
raving terror, never to return.

From last night's game:

****

"How are your assassination skills on alligators?"

****

"Demon Dog vs Giant Mutant Alligator. This Saturday Night. Only on the Sci Fi Channel."

****

"We apparently need to start calling ourselves the 'Rubber Pants Gang.'"

"Huh, so that's what RPG stands for."

****

"What part of 'Wake me when you have a plan' did they not understand?"

"We had a plan. It was just... broken."

****

"You should have called in for backup."

"I would have if I wasn't too busy screaming."

Hey, my memory of the exact game details is fuzzy. For all I know, it was one of those Alternate History games where Hitler had nukes. The point of the story was the birth of the battle-sheep.

Besides - you tell me that a war-sheep would have had any different results. :-P

No, no, no! He had a battle-sheep! Big difference!

Only a couple right now, both from our space opera game:

Andromachae (NPC): "You're alive with the glow of motherhood!"
Jesse: "Is that the tactful way of saying she's fat?"

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

The joys of crossplaying:
Cory (male): "I like my uterus!"

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

Also, it's remarkably difficult to keep up a quasi-russian accent while simultaneously trying to sound drunk.

Earlier in our episode, Steele was hypnotized and partially vampirized by the villains. Fortunately, she was cured before going full vamp (ever try to stake somebody made of metal?)

She's just met the vampire whose mind control screwed her over before again (and is wearing a PRIMUS psi-screening helmet, to prevent this from happening again so easily).

Vamp: "You have such beautiful eyes. Why don't you raise that visor so I can see them?"

Steele: "I've got a better idea. Know how to spell 'orthodontist'?"

*punches him in the face - hits DCV 13, deals 14 Body, and '2' on the Knockback Reduction*

Steele: "Time to learn, jackass."

Sometimes, the dice *do* recognize dramatic moments.

How do you vampirize someone made of metal?

[BlackCobra]

From before we even started playing, so no campaign to reference.

Our group uses a fairly arcane, grown-over-time system of rules for voting on who will run in a particular evening. (Yeah, I know, we have that rare gaming group disease: Too Many GMs. It's rough, but we're suffering through it.)

Someone (me?) suggests voting by pointing, rather than the time-honored secret paper ballot.

Someone: "Ah, that's not kosher!"
Me: "What, point of order, per Robert's Rules?"
Someone else: "We don't use Robert's Rules of Order."
jtelson: "We don't even use the Dread Pirate Robert's Rules of Order."

[jkwleisemann]

How do you vampirize someone made of metal?

She's not permanently metallic, she switches from human to statue. Earlier, the vamp had hypnotized her and made her turn back so he could put the bite on her.

Thanks for taking that bullet for me.

A few from the Star Wars campaign

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

Raene (OOC): Raene is playing "Swoop Gang Barbie" with Princess Asha, helping her get an outfit together for going undercover in the gang's hideout.

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

Raene: I dont know much about Jedi. Are you going to have to, like, tell them who you are?

Dirk Nightstrider: The Jedi Code has no real restrictions about lying.

Princess Asha: Thats...disturbing, actually.

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

Raene (OOC): Isnt that a little overdone?

Princess Asha (OOC): Im Nabooian! We treat "bedazzling" things as a solemn ritual of womanhood!

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

Dirk: I have no intention of killing anyone.

Asha: I havent either, but thats not always how it works out.

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

[Best without explanation]

Princess Asha: When this is all over, should I sell her to someone? As a favor to her?

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

[On the outlook of Droids]

Asha (OOC): Droids are just dogs that can talk!

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

Raene (OOC): While we are here on Nar-Shadda to meet the criminal underworld boss, I'll take them to an S&M show.

GM: All...right. The show features a main performance in the middle of the large stage, and a smaller performance on either side.

Asha (OOC): So its basically "Wriggling Bugger's Beat'em and Nailme Circus"?

[pinecone]

No, no, no! He had a battle-sheep! Big difference!

War sheep have chainsaws!...Umm...or freakin claymores anyway....

[Narf the Mouse]

And, of course, we cannot forget the utility of the Cargo-Sheep.
