Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

[Black Omega]

From Friday nights game:

Darkstrike out of the blue said over our radio link "Someone better shut up these clowns. I swear to God I'm killing my clone if these clowns don't shut up!"

Turns out someone was using mental illusions on him and hit a weak spot, while Darkstrike was visiting his clone we had captured in a battle earlier. He believed the clowns were in the clones mind.



The finish of the big battle against two teleporting, perverse leather boys went like:

GM: They teleport away with Kei-ULTRA. Kei, you find yourself in a room with bondage equipment and the twins. You can tell they are real, not illusions.

Kei: Aaaaaiiiii!

Darkstrike: I'm listening carefully over the radio.

Kei's player: I'm sure you heard the scream.

Huh. I knew a Martha at Boston University who was not at all hot but was quite loose (I didn't know her well enough and I was not bold enough to find out for myself). Seems the deal would have worked with her.

Did you seriously expect such a deal would come to any fruition? Pardon the OT, I'm just curious, since the notion a boyfriend or even husband could promise off his mate in such an exchange is a bit, well, archaic!

No, I genuinely didn't. There were four newbies in the game, and I was trying to provoke them to think outside the box, so to speak, as well as loosen up some tension. The problem (in my experience) with Diplomacy, especially with new players, is that people tend to take the backstabs personally and get really pissed off. Doing something as blatantly absurd as the negotiate-for-nongame-benefits was intentional.

But I'm wise enough to to have for asked something I would have enjoyed anyway, in the remote chance it worked...

From a Gen Con game I thought I wasn't going to like, but loved:

Note: If you are not familiar with the movie "Blazing Saddles", you will not understand this:

I was playing an African American Male Energy Projector. Our party was travelling through time fighting invading Aliens. When we got to WW2, we faced a platoon of Nazis. They had weapons, a battleship AND large numbers. FISH IN A BARREL.

I asked to make a Presence Attack. The GM nodded:

Me: (Big Smile) "Hey Guys ! Where're all the WHITE women ??!!??" (Huge Grin)

GM: ( Flings empty juice box in my face.)

At my bachelor party, my friend Fat Sexy Rob (picture a 300 pound Filipino skinhead) stood on the table at Rudy's and used that line. There were a few white women, but they were all Yalies and were not impressed.

Grangnar: "So... you haven't raised a horde of ravaging undead in the basement or anything, have you?"

Smith: "... Define 'Horde'."

Grangnar: "Oh. You.. didn't raise ravaging hordes of undead or anything afterwards, did you?"

Avelyne: "... Define 'Hordes'."

Damn, that is funny! Repped, and thanks for the laughs.

Not from a game, but an actual statement from one of us in the gaming group last Sunday after the lone female in the group headed home for the evening.

"Good. Now that the girl is gone, we can turn off football and play games!"

Super-Dude (picture surfer that is 6ft tall, 3 of which is mohawk) is flying on his mystical surfboard as we are fighting a 2000ft "Killer Robot" The rest of us have been a bit injured but nothing bad.

Super-Dude: Ok I think I have enough running room for a move-thru.
GM: Ok you set up your move-thru, is there anything your going to do before you start the manuver?
Super-Dude: yea, I'm jumping off my board so it doesn't get messed up when I punch a hole in this guys chest.
-[side note: Super-Dude's powers came from his board, all of them]-
--Moment of silence--
GM: Are you sure?
Super-Dude: yep. cowabunga!!!

We all laughed VERY hard when Nate(Super-Dude) figured out that he was in trouble. He didn't really do a move-thru... well, not exactly.

Flowers were sent to the hospital.

Ah the days in SD and Kazama Mammoth...how could you forget that name..?

Blue:"Come down and game!"
Me:"But I have work tomorrow."
B:"Yeah, so?"
M:"Its nine at night and it'll take me an hour to get there."
B:"Yeah, so?"
M:"Who's running?"
B:"You are!"
M:"Ok...I'll be there in an hour..."

Glad you liked it, Basil, and thanks for the rep. I think I'm pretty lucky as GM's go as I've got 4 really fine players who are really starting to enjoy their characters and the interractions between them. I'm not one to play favorites, but I have to say that so far, the deliciously oddball combination of a nearly seven-foot tall Drakine, who despite his racial bonuses to STR, DEX and CON has decided to follow the path of Wizardry, and has an unexpectedly sharp wit to him routinely provides a great deal of comic relief for both myself as well as the other players. The visual of this hulking reptilian humanoid accompanied by the player's zinging dialogue = gaming table hilarity.

Years ago, we were playing a "space western" -- yup, cowboys in space (and this was long before Firefly was even a gleam in Joss Whedon's eye).

In it, there was an alien species that looked like humanoid spiders, who filled a similar niche in the universe as the Chinese immigrants filled in the American west. Some aliens had a little resturant, and we walked in, sat down, and took a look at the menus.

Me: Hm... "Flied Lice." God, I hope that's a typo.
