Mjolnir74 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun 4th Edition game -------------------- The team discover that the runaway they are after is in the Tunnel of Love. GM: The Tunnel of Love is a circuitous ride where the swan boats enter and exit the attraction in the front. Mac: Sits in the swan boat, coaxes Strange by patting the seat next to him and playing Barry White through his commlink. Strange: Um ... no. -------------------- Since the attraction is not actually running, the team enter via a maintenance catwalk that is suspended just under the surface of the water. They enter a large pond area inside the attraction GM: Suddenly, the attraction comes to life and a flying cupid comes out of nowhere and hits the dwarf. Sr. Lico: Gets hit by cupid and falls into the water Tina (OOC): Gere* was instructed to attack anything that attacks a team member. So he fires a burst into cupid. GM: Gere destroys the automaton cupid. The LMG fire in a confined space is fantastically loud. Strange: Covering his ears Call off the dog! -------------------- After being knocked unconscious inside the Tunnel of Love only to come to at the drive thru of the local McHughes fast food chain with the runaway girl sitting next to him and the entire team (including the runaway) enjoying soy burgers and soy shakes ... Bender: The only logical conclusion to this run is me getting smashed. -------------------- GM: You have a 14 year old freaky chick and a drunk Troll in the back of your van. You know where this is going, right? Mac (OOC): Youtube. *Gere is the name of one of the Rigger's MCT Doberman drone, which is armed with a LMG.

Which one is it that's trying to have said affair with said mage? The Tiefling. And no, it's not the Bunneh - it's somebody else, believe it or not. Years: PROBLEM (and need of explanation, I'm guessing) This one. As for an explanation, Samantha's an escaped government genetic experiment - she was 'decanted' two years before, after being artificially aged and educated in the tube before she was released for her training. And yeah, Rashaka freaked out pretty badly when he heard that one (much to Samantha's dismay... they've broken up since, more because she got pregnant and wanted to try making the extra-dimensional backwater they found a better place before going home than the age difference). For reference, the tiefling and Samantha have the same player. Not much of a surprise there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any setting with increased aging, slowed aging, non-standard aging, immortality, resurection, time travel, or unconventional birth can have a lot of these problems. "Your birth certificate says that you will be born 10 years from now so you're 31 years under the legal drinking limit, can't vote, can't drive, and can actually be legally terminated by your mother (ten years before birth is legal for an abortion, right)." A teen-aged looking immortal could collect social security and demand a senior citizen discount. The whole years-from-birth system kind of goes out the window when a two year old can be mistaken for an 18+ year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "mad" part and the "trying to have an affair with the party's (female) mage" can be taken as read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston GM Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 That's what I call a Presence attack. The team rescued the hostages from Mechanon's minions, and Dr. Callahan, the superscientist, disarmed the Vortex Bomb (a refridgerator-sized device that would create a large implosion). Dr. Callahan wanted to study the Vortex Bomb in his lab, so Midas and The Count, the team bricks, were carrying the Vortex Bomb back to Dr. Callahan's extra-dimensional vehicle.... Dr. Callahan: "We need to get away from these people. I don't want anyone to get a close look at my vehicle." Midas: "We could wait until the police escort them away." Dr. Callahan: "I want to get the bomb loaded before the police sieze it as evidence." The Count: "I could get everyone to back off." Dr. Callahan (cautiously): "Don't do anything rash." The Count (loudly, to the crowd): "Please stand back. This bomb is heavy, and my arms are getting tired." After they'd loaded the Vortex Bomb and were driving away.... Dr. Callahan: "You know, the bomb wouldn't have gone off if you'd dropped it." The Count: "My arms weren't getting tired either." L.
