Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Beetle]

Our ongoing GURPS: Firefly campaign got a new character a couple of weeks ago - a merc/negotiator named "Star." The following exchange happened at the first business deal Star set up.

contact: Which one of you is Star?

the captain: The one playing continuous soft-rock throughout the work day.

(this may be a "Boston only" joke, but I'm guessing there are other "Star FM" stations throughout america)

Ye Gods, that's comical! I once tried to name a droid in the SW RPG "LT-FM" until the GM realized I'd be relating the traffic and weather in soothing tones.

I've had the misfortune of hearing radio all over the country .. I don't think there is another Star FM. But this ... this is a great line.

San Francisco has 101.3, the Star, but it's an 80s, 90s, now kinda station. ALMOST soft rock, but not quite . . .

From Saturday's Champions game.

The PCs are invited back to the Homestead after stopping the Horizon Casino from robbed and/or demolished. When Defender asks the PCs if they are willing to trust the Champions and work with them, Midnight (my PC) looks at him and says, "I'll show my face if you show yours."

He thinks for a moment, obviously weighing this one up, then he removes his face plate. At which point Midnight stares, and then bursts out in uproarious laughter as she removes her own mask and hat. Defender stares at her, his jaw hanging open in disbelief as he realizes that Midnight is, in fact, the multimillionaire playgirl gambler who owns the estate next to his.

Defender: "You're s***ing me."

Necessary Evil game...

Our villains... on the run... come across some suped up gang types working with a K'tharin and using V'sori tech. My mini-brick Cannonball and an atlantean female fugitive (no name we know yet. I call her fish-girl.) are fighting the K'tharin... a giant humanoid shark alien.

I finally land a massive blow, taking him down after a difficult struggle.

As the shark dude drops.

Fish-Girl: batting eyelashes and saying sweetly... "You could have at least let me land that last blow."

Cannonball: "Oh... uh..." bending over and lifting the body, "I can hold him up for you!"

------

Fish-girl suddenly goes psycho and begins stab/blasting the quickly dead K'tharin over and over again with her electro-lance!

Cannonball: "YIPES!" dropping the body as it jerks and twitches under her assualt. "Aaaahhh!! It's a fish fry!"

Then... sniff... sniff.... "Hmmm... I need some tarter sauce."

D&D Dungeon Crawl...

The Dwarven Barbarian scouts ahead as the group stays behind.

Suddenly the Barbarian is ambushed.

The DM turns the rest of the party and says...

"You hear the sound of a Dwarf being slapped by a Wet Tentacle."

D&D, and a bit of game history first -- several game years ago (before I joined the group), some of the PCs managed to kill a black dragon. Getting to a first edition dragon while it's still asleep really does help . One of them took enough of its hide to make a suit of armor, and is still wearing it.

Fast forward to last night, which starts out with a black dragon swooping in on us. The veteran PCs in the group recognize it as the same dragon they fought and killed lo those many XP ago. It would appear the Cult of the Dragon found enough of its body for a Raise Dead. One of the other characters, a wood elf (and small even by wood elf standards) happened to be flying at the time. The wood elf announced that she was going to fly at top speed to hide behind the paladin, because "I'm snack-sized!" My comment to her: "You're not the one wearing its skin."

[Powerline]

First post, and I picked this thread.

Was in a D&D game where our group had to slip buy the sleeping dragon to exit the cave 'o' doom, of course the dragon was not sleeping.

As the group was midway between entrance and exit, the dragon woke up.

(We were at the time about 7-8 level, Dragon VERY old and powerful, that's why we were sneaking)

Dragon says "What are you doing in my home?"

There was a pause as the group was looking at each other for ideas when the Rogue - Bard spoke up, from behind by Cavalier I might add.

"We are here to kick YOUR a**, and take YOUR gold" with finger pointing at all the right moments.

The group did make it out of the mountain (without gear) but our poor Rogue - Bard Pencinious was no more.

On the table where the GM's kids were playing, are a number of toys, including a doll of "Woody" from Toy Story. Two of the players on the couch play with them while the GM talks.

About ten minutes later, we encounter a goddess (It's an exalted game) in the swamp. She barters that for a kiss she'll show us the way to the temple. Our barbarian, who is known as a lothario who has left a trail of satisfied goddesses across the landscape of the world, steps up and kisses her.

At which point, another player turns to said player, who is holding the doll, and says, "Um... You might want to put your Woody away."

In our campaign set in 2056, Lillith is shopping for a wedding dress. The woman doing the alterations mentions her wife.

Lisa-"Are gay marriages legal in the future?"

GM-"Well, why not? Heck, they let robots vote now!"

The UNITY team is fighting a group of Elder Worms, who are zapping the heroes with various mental attacks. After a particularly powerful Ego Blast:

Tank: It's like getting a noogie... inside my skull!!!

[teh bunneh]

Our D&D party has been ambushed. Teveri the Halfling scout (who's schtick is that she's just too kawai for words) just took a critical surprise attack that dropped her to 2 HP. Her action comes up and she runs away from the fight, back to Oskar, the cleric.

Teveri: I got a boo-boo!
Oskar: Looks to me like you've got a sucking chest boo-boo!

Much of the last two games has been our party going over it's options. We're going no where as the GM baically railroaded us into a plotless adventure. (or so we think)
Anyway my fighter, a CG fellow, is frustrated last week and advocating that we complete the mission objectives, and get out. But the LG mage keeps saying we should help the people of this city.

fastforward to this week and the mage is now advocating leaving asap. My fighter:
No, dammit! You spent all of the last two days calling out my sense of justice and making derogitory remarks about my bravery! You stay here, we'll take the family and leave!
