Some people have to repeatedly tell others how their stories would be both shorter and accordingly funnier. I also think it's fine to post the story that you want to and then everybody can skip it if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weldun Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Hmm, yes I was a bit too venemous. As I said, Kirby is actually a moderate in the debate that we should ignore. As he said, he objected to unnecessary background information and even gave an example of what was pretty clearly a TMI situation. Basically, all he did was tip me when I was already on edge, and while I tried to make it clear I shall state it emphatically here, I largely agree with Kirby, but am willing to simply leave people who are giving the quote to determine what is and isn't too much backstory, PMing people with (hopefully) helpful hints for future posts. As for my example quote, I agree with Manic Typist in his/her assessment that Bigdamnhero's version pretty much neutered it's emotional content.

AliceTheOwl Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The following OOC comment doesn't really count, because it was before the game started, but it still deserves sharing: "You are NOT going to plot my death, honey!" "I'm not, I'm just . . . waiting for it." Anyway, the actual quotes from my Fantasy Hero game, set in Via, a parody world where the characters don't realize it's a parody. Both are OOC. "Lina only uses her boobs in extreme circumstances. And when there's a battle going on and she forgets clothes." "You could always throw out to demon card to convince him to cooperate. 'If you don't help us, we won't help you when the demons come to eat your city.'" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narf the Mouse Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I hast one to post! The quote (OOC) "Oh hells, GRAB HIM!" In a newly-started free-form epic, multi-world campaign, my fighter-type character has been forced, by his slowly-shredding courtesy, to listen to a dowager go on for an hour about her in-bred family tree. (The're at a party full of nobility.) Having finally escaped, he sets out to get thoroughly buzzed. Unfortunatly, one of the drinks he grabs is provided for those wanting a quick exit from boring relatives - Instant unconsciousness. Having a high willpower, he just gets drunk...Has a few more of them...Whereupon I comment, OOC, that pretty soon he's going to start singing a song he learned in a bar, off of someone who claimed he got it from a witch who lived on a disk on the back of four elephants, on the back of a giant space turtle... ...Three guesses as to which song it is.

Narf the Mouse Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Lol...Yeah, of course "Stairway to heaven"! He wouldn't possibly sing something incredibly rude after hearing about someones' family tree for an hour (Said family tree not forking near as much as it should), then getting drunker than he's been for a long time, compared to the governments of many nations.

BoloOfEarth Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... At last night's game, my players' Champions heroes are seemingly transported to the gates of Hell trying to save an NPC friend. After dealing with a hoarde of attacking demons, one of the heroes uses a holy-water filled SuperSoaker to write on the side of the archway: "Bring 'em Back Alive" - - - - - - Later, the heroes are attacked by a pack of demon dogs, and one heroine (Serendipity) suggests they "fling 'em into the River Styx." Other hero: "How are you gonna fling em?" Serendipity: "With a pitchfork! There's gotta be one lying around here somewhere..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zornwil Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The hedgehog song is called "A hedgehog can never be buggered at all" if I recall correctly. Thanks. I think given its colloquial useage on television (both in BBC-land as well as the US) I'm pretty sure it passes a board language test. For the most part simply think what the FCC allows on the air as a way to gauge such. There are some cross-cultural problems, I know, as in many parts of the world the 4-letter word commonly used for defecation (starting with sh- if you don't get it still) is quite appropriate in any context, even among children, whereas in the US we're more uptight about that. So I know for non-Americans it can be easier to run afoul of language rules as it is a bit of a guessing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it didn't capture the feeling of the whole piece, which I personally enjoyed reading and wouldn't have objected to had it been posted here. I don't mind long quotes. It's the long, not-strictly-relevant backstories that I find a little tiresome. But I agree that equestrian has been well flogged into the afterlife. I'll shut up now.

Remjin Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Hmmm... how to quote this week's session... it was a series of jokes this week, just one of those things. Somehow, my befuddled mouth got "Gonad" out of the nickname "Dag" in a moment of desperately trying to remember his name quickly (new campaign)... somehow sports or something came up. Robyn Flercher (in texas drawl): that gives new meaning to sacking the quarterback! ------- Discussing entering the room where a cultic orgy is occurring: Torch Song: I'm not comfortable with this, can't we wait until its over? Wendigo: ummm... I'm barefoot, I want some shoes. Father Martin: you mean you want waders. We don't know how long this has been going. Torch Song: *EEP* Ewwww.... How long could it possibly take? Robyn Fletcher: Hours, ma'am, hours and hours. Father Martin: Damn you young guys... *turns to Torch Song* there are usually several resting at any given time, making for a kind of recycling of people in and out of the group. *everyone pauses* Father Martin: What?
