zornwil Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... How about the following as a title? The High School Adventures of Neo Cyber Mega Ninja Demon Pirates from Super Magic Space Dimension X That way you can cover a whole heap of anime styles in one game Ha, good one, but I hope to avoid, not embrace, anime!

AliceTheOwl Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... "An 'upheaval' could just be a . . . really big crop." "Yeah, of badness!" - PCs trying to puzzle out a prophecy, and the first attempting to look on the bright side. "The disembodied head is confused." "I hug her." "What, her leg?" - a PC, overjoyed to see an NPC alive and well again . . . the NPC being twice her height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Dungeon-crawling in D&D, finding the tombs of the evil necromancer's now-mummified minions. We're searching the bodies when one of the party (for some reason) thinks he should also search *inside* the body for loot. DM: No, the skull is empty. As is the abdomen; all of the internal organs have been removed. The body has nothing inside it. PC: So it's not a pinata? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Later, two of the mummified bodies re-animate and attack us. Our player rolls two natural 20s in a row and begins celebrating, forgetting for the moment that you can't 'crit' undead. GM: Well, its vital organs have been removed and put in canopic jars. I suppose if you can find and stab them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinanju Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Same player different character sevaral years ago. He was playing a hawkeye type character' date=' Nightwolf and Sinanju, another member on this board who was kind of playing a humanoid Pak protector was with him. They're fighting this upper crust extremely beautiful and vain sorceress. She and her minions capture them but not before Nightwolf hits her with a gas that makes her throw up all over herself. They wake up dangling over a huge pit with dinosaur sized scorpians within. Nightwolf immediately starts taunting her about throwing up and how it improved her appearance while Sinanju is screaming "i'm not with him! I don't know him!"[/quote'] I was not screaming, thank you very much. I was calmly pointing out that just because HE chose to taunt the vain and psychotic villain who held his life in her hands, that didn't mean that I agreed with his decision. All perfectly logical.

Lucius Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Same player. Attacks a general planing to conquer the world in the general's home base. The general says "now I will crush you" The player says "You and what army?" the general points over his shoulder "that one." In one of Pratchett's Discworld novels, a witch is musing about how you can't talk to royalty the same way you talk to regular people. You can't ask questions like "You and whose army?" or "Who died and made you king?" - because they'd KNOW. Lucius Alexander The palindromedary observes a sign of the times: Right Lane Ends.

I see someone's hiding in the machine shop! Won't you please come outside into the hallway with everyone else? Plastron: Egress is not possible at this time. Countdown: It is now! (BOOOOOOM!) The machine shop is destroyed. Prestige: I'll bet you I can send this bomb away, and nothing will happen to anyone. Countdown: Sure! Take your best shot! Prestige: (Wiggles her fingers, bomb disappears) Cut to...Shadow Lord (Another PC) in his shadow dimension, entertaining some dimensional visitors. I roll to determine bomb placement in his living room. I'm like...!!@#$%!...right under him. (BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM) Shadow Lord, take 14 Body and 56 stun. Your guests take it too. Shadow Lord: Isn't that 112 Stun? Ordinarily, I'd say I'd get a roll for this, but under these circumstances, no. Me: Sure! So Shadow Lord Exploded, and was almost killed. Later in this circus of events.... Prestige: So, can I come to where you are? Countdown: Sure! No problem! Prestige (Grabbing Plastron and Teleporting.) They arrive. ZZZZZZZZZZAARRRRRRRRRRK! Countdown: Just try not to land on the trap next time, sweetie! ...... After it's all over... Saiphe: That's it, my father's going to be looking for me, I need to sneak back inside.

CrosshairCollie Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The theme of last night's game seemed to be 'fun with bodily emissions'. The timing of various people's noises was classic. Running Eberron: Me: "Roll a Fortitude save." (At the same time he throws the die, getting a natural 1, someone passes gas very loudly.) "Yeah, that about sums it up." After describing a scene that involved a colossal stink (a passing stampede of plague-ridden sewer rats), the player to my immediate left releases a warm Pepsi and General Tso's chicken burp. "If you wanted to know what this smells like, NOW YOU KNOW!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remjin Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Monkeys with nunchukas (lazer as well as regular) are in Cyber Ninja Pirates in Space, the game I'm (SLOWLY, damn me) writing. I just had to mention it so it was known that when you see it, don't think it was inspired here (no offense!). None taken. I've always thought of monkeys as a good add to anything, making anything funnier. I don't know why, it just is. My buddy has a similar infatuation with nunchuks (nunchaku? whatever.. ), so we were talking about it at the table during a break and thought... what about both in one game? That'd be awesome... and thus, the question was born. I think they're both fairly common things to add to make things amusing, so hardly original in thought, perhaps more so as actually published. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdamnhero Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Humor is easier to quote succinctly. Exactly. Last week, one of my PCs dived in front of a bunch of falling glass to save some reporter's life. Awhile back I had a hero literally throw herself on a hand grenade to save civilians. But those situations aren't as easily quotable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
