Karmakaze Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Powdered graphite? I'm afraid I don't get it. Does vaseline contain powdered graphite? Nope. Graphite reduces to such a fine powder that it serves as a very efficient lubricant for such things as stuck locks, gun parts, etc. Apparently someone thought of it as "high tech" and thus places it in a Star Trek story without really understanding the technology behind. The off-color at Gencon but reminded be a bit of a Bureau 13 game I was in a few years back. One of the female PCs had been captured by cannibals who'd managed to strip her, douse her in barbecue sauce, and suspend her over a fire before we burst in to the rescue. My (male) PC glanced over as he untied her "Nice Rack!" (And then, not being a complete louse, gave her his trenchcoat.) I remember thinking that the comment was only rescued from being over the line by the fact that I am a female player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

input.jack Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Yeah, because alcohol is evil, and the europeans have such problems with drinking... oh wait... no they don't... Europeans also dont seem to have the American problems with their own sexuality, violent crime, or the glorification of the scum of society (Im looking at you, Gangsta Rap). Theres something wrong going on underneath, around here. I think its all the repression, that results in an explosive backlash. (For a good example, see the results of Prohibition; an attempt to repress Americans by making them not drink alcohol "for their own good", that resulted in violence, bloodshed, and handing power -directly- into the hands of organized crime).

Ulysses (Skulking bow-user in a very drab costume): You know, Gatecrasher, your costume is very...shiny. Gatecrasher: I know. I like the contrast of the black and the chrome silver. Ulysses: ....If you coated your costume in a layer of dull-coat, it wouldnt reflect the light so much and give your position away. Gatecrasher: That would defeat the purpose of it bein' all shiny!

AnotherSkip Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Re: Off color warning This one's off color, for those easily offended. (are they gone? OK...) After that, you can see why the cavern of groin seeking piercers was avoided the rest of the adventure. Actually this reminds me of a session I witnessed in Hackmaster, a character without armor gets attacked by weasles. The five fierce critters make their attack rolls and one gets a crit. Groin Shot. The little fiend clamps and holds, plus it bleeds like you would expect. The players were scrambling like mad trying to figure out if they could get the weasle off or apply a tourniquet. Or just kill all the weasles before they did this again. but the character was low on HP's so he dies anyways... they strip the body pretend to be a priest ("mumble mumble mumble")and kick some dirt over the body and leave it. funniest thing I ever saw.

"Oh, God forbid we say rude things about the Tremere. Why, the anger from it all might force them to turn into a pack of intriguing, vitae-thieving, bloodline-ending vinculum-aping backstabbing murderers..." "... whoops, too late!" (For those who don't play VtM, suffice it to say that the Tremere are the vampires who are so sleazy that the other vampires noticed. You have to start hitting the Followers of Set or the devil-worshipping Baali before it gets worse.) *stands up looking indignant* "I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!!!!!!" ( I play a Tremere is Vegas that has allready blood bound one primogen... plans on forcing him to be blood bound to the Prince of Vegas and getting clan Tremere the Status/Boons for this act in exchange for more maigical instruction.... And I think I have a good chace of blood binding the rest of the party to me too....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From the "Seared" Champions game Vendetta Rhapsody episode we jokingly called "A Night At The Opera": Pre-game comment uttered by a player's 8 year-old. "Press "Try Me" again. That's how you turn it off." GM to player who wanted to gloss over certain details with "I sent everyone an email about it": "D'arc Tangent couldn't get her computer to work, so you have to tell her in person." Blitzkrieg: "Maybe I put them in hospital?" Koyotie: "Perhaps you should talk to MI-5 about what happens to Russians who get put into the hospital." OOC comment on imagined visual of one PC delivering a message: "Is it just me, or is the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man coming at us with an envelope?" Blitzkrieg: "Who doesn't have Erica Chase's number?" Koyotie: "I understand you can find it on the walls of truck stop restrooms all across the state." Koyotie: "I'll go to the airport and see if they kick any puppies." Technicality's SID is a lawyer. Naturally, it is established her coffee mug reads : "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." (Henry VI, Part 2, 4, ii) Koyotie's SID is Mary Tower, photojournalist for the SLANT a local paper. Erica Chase is the SLANT's top reporter. The GM and I had some great banter as the two talked about several subjects. At one point, Erica rather awkwardly asked Mary Tower to help her cover a book-signing by the super-heroine Lady Liberty. Leading to.... Koyotie: "I thought it was a date for a minute. Erica Chase: "Stop Thinking!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
