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

 

Now that you mention it my character is an Inner Sphere freeborn, and has the least amount of glory.

But I don't mind, I just act honorably and offer the elementals a blade in any trials they engage me in.

 

 

The drinking contests must be sheer hell...

Ahh, that reminds me of one.

 

Another old D&D game with a group who'd been playing together for 3 years or so. Just started rotating the DM'ship. Group is raiding a shrine to some dark, elder, forgotten god (as usual). Before the group is a large, deep pit of molten lava (Jeff, a teenaged DM, so we make allowances) on the far side, to disuade leapers it's spikes, scorpions, snakes etc.

 

The strong guy hurls a grappling line across, snags it onto a staue and makes his way, hand over hand to the other side. The next 4 players persuade the DM to allow them a saving roll, 3d6 with a 9 or higher to make it safely actross. The last player is a girl. Specifically the DM's girlfriend. The DM rules that, as the others all made it safely across, it's obviously not that big a deal and gives her an automatic safe roll.

 

This resulted in, when people failed saving throws, a cry of "I wish I was Jeffy's girl!"

Disgraced and/or really old warriors who are used as the cheapest sort of cannon-fodder infantry.
Something that my Character has been desperately trying to avoid becoming' date=' to the extent that during his blood-trial he "cheated". Hey, he's a former member of the 139th Striker Cluster (The Sphere Hunters), so he has [i']Martial Arts/Battlemech[/i].

I totally have no clue what you guys are talking about.

A few from our Shadowrun game...

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

 

GM: You can see the gangers, sitting on their dumpster-rescued couch, watching old reruns of a Japanese-style game show called That Must Be Uncomfortable!

 

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

 

Tam: This hangover is...extraordinary.

 

Shay Shay: Is it painful? Or do you like it?

 

Tam: ...Yes, to both.

 

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

 

GM: So the ganger pulls a Ruger Super-Warhawk (massive pistol), all chromed out, with a laser sight, and he puts it against the cute blonde's forehead and shouts "HOW BOUT A DATE, BABYCAKES?!"

 

Cat: Doesnt that invalidate the usefulnesss of the laser sight? ;)

Not if you do it right. I got an extra d6 to add to my intimidation roll by holding the gun to the intimidatee's face so that the laser was shining in his eye as I made my threats.

 

Please note, my request was for intel, not intimacy.

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

 

Warhammer 40K RPG: our heroes are Rogue Trader crew,

trying to scrape together enough credits for a real spaceship.

 

for now the crew has a previously Ork-looted and re-rigged thunderhawk shuttle.

so far the heaviest armament it carries is a rear-firing gravity cannon.

 

this is a vicious weapon:

for one thing it does rending damage on ship's hulls if it hits,

and even if it misses its target, it leaves a "dimple" in the local gravity field

that messes with trajectories and renders warp jumps quite deadly.

 

it is a weapon to be fired in outer space only.

 

also the crew have hired a gretchin rigger (small ork slave) to help out around the shuttle.

he has adequate repair skill, and can understand the orkish controls,

and translate anything weird the orkish AI onboard may say.

 

So the heroes have docked in a disreputable back area of Necromunda,

trying to cut a deal with the local scavvies. During the negotiations,

the Enforcers (police) show up from 3 sides. The players know they will be

arrested along with the street scum. They fight their way to the shuttle,

which is ready for takeoff, and facing towards the outdoors.

 

their rigger is facing the fight; near the wing with an autogun, providing covering fire from a ring-mount.

 

The captain leaps in the door, and (in Orkish), orders the AI to fire the grav cannon.

The AI reminds the captain in no polite terms that this is folly.

The captain yells at the rigger to come undo the safety interlock.

 

rigger informs captain there is no safety interlock.

Captain tells the AI to effing fire the effing grav gun, pronto.

AI: as you wish, captain.

 

meanwhile The rest of the crew leaps on board.

the captain player rolled near maximum damage (on structural, not personal) for the weapon.

the GM rolled a critical failure on the buildings of the underhive to resist compromise due to damage.

 

One entire squad of cops totally disappeared.

No fires started because too many water mains were cut by the weapon.

The other 2 squads and all the scavvies ran in fear.

 

As the Thunderhawk jets out of the docking bay, leaving a huge cloud behind,

the rigger is looking back at the scene from the ring-mount,

screaming at the top of his lungs:

 

THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED !!!

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

 

Looking at some of my old character sheets, I remembered that my sister keeps a list of quotes from game on the back of her sheet. These are all better without context, because if I gave context, you'd all look at me strangely.

 

"I waste the children in the playground with my crossbow. Little monkeys gotta be worth like 5 xp a piece"~Me

~longish pause~ "Are they?"~My sister

 

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

 

"Soy sauce doesn't quack." ~My sister

 

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

 

"20d6 Mind Control. Quack like a chicken!" ~Adam

:silence: "What?" ~Rest of the group

"I'm medicated! You know what I mean!" ~Adam

 

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

 

"I wanna take up yuppie poaching." ~Liza

 

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

 

"VPP only to twinkies." ~Me, and I have no idea what I was talking about

 

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

 

"I summon the itchy itchy rash!" ~Scott

 

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

 

"Do shadow imps purr?" ~My sister

 

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

 

"Okay, if I use Power Drain on the waitress, what powers will I get? A raging sex drive?" ~My sister

 

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

 

"I throw, uhhh, Her!" ~Liza

"Hey! I'm not a ranged weapon!" ~My sister

Actually....

 

 

 

In Schwartzkopf's autobiography It Doesn't Take a Hero he describes being assigned as liason officer to a South Vietnamese unit. Apparently they carried, as part of their rations, live ducks. As I recall, their beaks were secured somehow and their feet tied together and they hung by their feet from the belt of the soldier. So these soldiers went into the jungle looking for trouble, with live ducks hanging off them.

I've got a palindromedary

 

How'd they stop them quacking?

I'd have to look in the book again (if I can find it) but I think they wired the beaks shut or something like that.

The palindromedary wonders about the possibility of irrational rations

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

 

From a fantasy game last night:

 

Mage: "Right, you want to go see what's on the other side of that door?"

 

Elf: "Sure."

 

*one scuffle with skeletons later*

 

Elf: "How come I'm always the one to step through the doors and get hit by the bad guys?"

 

Mage: "Because you never say no?"

 

Elf: "Well, you're getting the next door!"

 

Mage: "Fine, fine."

 

*goes through the next door, into a harmless room.

 

Mage: "So, you want to go through that one? I got this one, it's your turn."

 

Elf: "Oh, all right."

 

*opens the door, revealing a demon on the other side*

 

Elf: "I hate you."

From my Steampunk game...

 

The heroes need to get through a gate, but it's magically warded...

Thackery: If I was a jerk, I'd toss a cat over the wall and see what happened...

...but I'm not a jerk.

 

Best without explanation:

GM: He's your monster. You roll for him.

 

Having a little trouble figuring out his CV:

Morden (OOC): Ah geez, it's that stupid Champions math again!

 

:rofl:

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

 

Our evil dnd campaign continues:

  • Kale: A necromancer of great power, Kale is the party's leader and face; mostly because he the only one who can dress presentably (That and him being the only one with charisma above 12). Kale dreams of immortality and godhood, and plans his conquest of the entire material plain.
     
  • Sir Kalmeran: Sir Kalmeran is a paladin assassinate by Kale, who was then brought back as a skeletal servant to serve his killer as a bodyguard.
     
  • Dusty: A gruff desert dwarf, Dusty accepted long ago that his greatest strength is the ability to hit things hard and take a lot of damage. He considers it his job to stand between casters and mooks.
     
  • Naomi: Naomi, an elf, is in her PMS century and thus completely unpredictable. She is also one of the best archers in the region, and constantly demands that the rest of the party informs her of, and appreciates, the fact.
     
  • Xen: A Wizard of the Arcane Order, and high priest of Kale's blooming cult, Xen is friendly, for an otherwise sane person who sacrifices anything and everything to a necromancer.
     
  • Cleric: The party cleric has a long and complex name that no one remembers. He worships the god of slaughter, and recently Kale, as an apostle of that god, and is barking mad. He is always happy and positive.
     
  • Sid: Sid also has a longer name that no one can pronounce, so the shortened version is used. He is a centaur fighter, and serves as mobile artillery for the party with a giant bow. He is also clearly regretting going anywhere near this gang of lunatics.
     
  • Druid: The druid is a highly secretive member of the party. She reveals little of herself and her past. The only thing that is known is that her cat is not normal by any stretch of the word, as it is currently the size of a man and shows no trace of stopping.

 

 

Xen's player managed to spill coke all over his computer, right before we were ready to start playing:

Dusty: I function well with coke in my system, why shouldn't his computer?

 

The puns aimed at our campaign city, named Brown Well, and built into a canyon, continue:

GM: When we last left our a$$holes…

Kale: In A$$hole City.

 

Our quest giver turns up dead:

Random city dweller: Good news, the paranoid private investigator was found dead in an alley.

Kale: Huh, guess they really were out to get him.

 

When listening through a door there are some things one can't be sure of:

GM: You hear a conversation through the door, one sounds like a human male. Or a f*cked up female.

 

Best without explanation:

Naomi: I make the bat pooh on him.

 

Ditto:

Naomi: Do we roll initiative for the bat?

GM: No it doesn't do sh**.

Dusty: Actually it does sh**…

 

And again:

Dusty, Sir Kalmeran, and Naomi at different times: I attack the bat pooh.

A course in speaking polite:

Naomi: You shouldn't say "f*ck"

Everyone: F*CK!

Naomi: You shouldn't say that

GM: You just did.

Naomi: F*CK!

 

Another speech on the New World Order is interrupted:

GM: While you preach in the town square a man comes up to you and hands you a letter

Kale: Damn it. Why does everyone presume I am the group leader?

Everyone except the elf: Because you are!

Naomi and Kale: He's not/oh, right.

On Centaur/elf relations:

Naomi: I might consider riding you when I know you better.

Sid: I just increased my charisma…

 

After the Cleric made a big mistake leading to the loss of a heap of chocolate (all OOC):

GM: You win the retard award of the day.

Cleric: Right after midnight, too. So who won yesterday?

Mostly Everyone: I did!

Xen: Hello! Coke on computer?

Everyone: ok, you win.

Xen: I just reminded you because I couldn't stand losing.

GM: And you get runner-up for to day.

 

The cleric comments, in character, on the predominance of spells requiring touch on his spell list:

Cleric: We can have a cleric duel. Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke. Inflict Critical Wounds. Argh! [collapses backwards]

 

At 3 in the morning, we decide to go to bed:

Naomi: I claim the soft sofa

Sid: I claim the long sofa

Kale: I claim the soft part of floor
