watson Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Another quote from the "Seared Champions" style game of Vendetta Rhapsody. We're all at the Third Rail (neutral ground). Flashburn (an enemy super) walks in and begins heckling Techny. Flashburn: Haven't you seen the news? We're buddies now! Technicality: Really? Then let's step outside and get better acquainted. (cracks knuckles) Flashburn: Uh, actually I like it better in here. Techny: That's what I thought you'd say.

Remjin Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Quick confession: I've never read the books, though I meant to, thanks for reminding me. =) I have, however, seen a TV show or two, and there was a cartoon once with them in it; Lonestar, I think. Which, btw, was a great cartoon. hehe. I even heard an episode on the radio, a rehash of the old show, I guess... I think on the BBC via NPR or something... bleh, anyway... =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Major Tom Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I think that the cartoon you're referring to is Bravestarr. The particular episode that featured Holmes and his new (alien) Dr. Watson was one of the more interesting treatments of the character that I've ever seen (Holmes managing to find a place for himself in the future era in which he finds him- self, and with superpowers to boot. Sort of like Galactic Champions a couple of decades early). Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mhoram Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... You are about to hear the exploits of..... Bobby Dare. In Pariah's game, we are an eclectic group of supers who came together to fight off an extradimensional alien invasion - they be lizard types.. Now these aliens make most people insane, but we are immune. One of the charcters is.... Bobby Dare. An celebrity Xtreme Sports guy - who refers to himself in the third person, and always with a little dramatic pause before he says his name... Bobby Dare. Yes that has become a running joke in the game. In our most recent fight with the aliens, Bobby Dare, who is a movement specialist (climb, run, swim, and fly/drive just about anything that moves). So he gets grabbed by a python like alien. So with his body mostly wrapped up, the player asked the GM if he can hop. The GM said yes, but at half velocity of his running (being able to speedhop is perfectly in keeping with.... Bobby Dare). So he did a passing strike into a building with the thing attached. Hop hop hop hop bang. Stunned the lizard. Yes, Bobby Dare's player is the artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunned the beasty (and maybe even knocked it out). Sadly he is not on the boards, although his art shows up not infreqently (he does the art for Meeb as well). But the GM is. That would be Pariah.

jkwleisemann Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Bulldozer and Ogre are breaking out of their current incarceration (along with a few other villains) and the heroes are trying to stop them. Sentinel, the team's brick, is busy with Ogre, so Reynard (AdamLeisemann's character) is handling Bulldozer. I expect at least one other QotW to come out of this, but this OOC one needed to be recognized: Reynard: "Hey! Big-dumb-pink-and-ugly! You don't look so tough! Hell, I can take you on myself!" Me (OOC): Pink? Adam (OOC): Well, I needed some way to let 'em know which big-dumb-and-ugly I was talking to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrosshairCollie Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Due to some recent *ahem* problems that many of you have read about on other sections of the boards, I didn't run anything. We played a little Three Dragon Ante (a game I highly recommend), then watched a few episodes of Justice League, including Secret Origins. During the part of Secret Origins where it's believed that Batman has been killed: Brian: "We have a job opening for one intense asshole." Me: "First applicant, The Question."

Ansah: Ewww, I don't like frosting.... Torch Song: Well, I'll get some without frosting... Ansah: What the heck are cupcakes without frosting? Torch Song: ...muffins. Ansah: Wow...

Perhaps funnier if you see him perform it... ************* Robin Fletcher: Hey, has anyone else noticed that Father Martin, our former Catholic Priest, has slaughtered the most people?

Apparentkly, a former owner was quite the astrology/astronomy buff, as we found a hidden room including an apparatus that was clearly a large telescope.

Blue Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This is actually from two weeks ago but I just remembered it now while watching a movie. One character is a mentalist. His only physical attack is a two-shot old-school laser pistol type weapon. He used one shot earlier in the night. Now they're facing a Godzilla clone on the beach of the campaign city. GM: "It has animal intelligence, you won't be able to effect it with your mental powers unless you've purchased the animal class of minds." Rift: "Don't you have a gun or something?" Thok: "It only has two shots." Rift: "So you have one left." Thok: "I'm saving the last one for myself." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston GM Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Quotes from Owlcon From Steve Long's Pulp Hero game: Randall (ooc): "Is there anyone here that I don't have romantic history with?" ---------------------------- Liz returns to camp pursued by a group of soldiers. The survivors of the opening salvo charge the group with drawn blades. Randall: "Dammit Liz! You only brought twelve with you! I told you to bring half the army." Steve Long (GM): "The soldiers stop running toward you." ---------------------------- A mounted chase to rescue a kidnapped princess ensues. Liz has jumped onto the same mount as the princess and an enemy soldier. Liz (fires two point-blank shots at the soldier, missing both): "Would you die already?" The enemy soldier pushes Liz off his mount. Randall rides up, catches her arm just before she falls, and swings her up into the saddle behind him. Liz: "What took you so long?" The second rescue of the princess concludes as Randall brings the princess' running mount to a stop. Randall (as he starts to untie her): "Your highness. We must stop meeting like this." ---------------------------- The king has stated that, without outside assistance, that his army will be defeated by the army of Lord Druithak. Liz starts counting on her fingers. Lilly: "What are you doing?" Liz: "Seeing how many seconds it takes before Randall volunteers us." ---------------------------- An enemy soldier chops at Randall with an axe, slicing his shirt. Randall: "You cut my shirt!" Randall runs his sword through the soldier's stomach. Randall: "Does anyone else want to cut my shirt!?!" (ooc from the next table over): "Sure." ---------------------------- The final confrontation with Lord Druithak occurs. Lilly attacks him. Lord Druithak responds by blasting her. Lord Druithak: "You can't withstand the magic of Eldritch Fire!" Randall shoots Lord Druithak in the head. Randall: "You can't withstand the magic of Fire Arm." ---------------------------- Upon returning from the adventure. Doctor Otto von Kiessler: "Where have you been?" Randall: "Doctor, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.... So let's get some drinks, and I'll tell you the whole story." Thanks for running a great game, Steve. ---------------------------- The best quotes of the week, however, came from a Starchildren game. The rock band is crashing for the night at the the house of their manager (John Elton) while he is occupied elsewhere. Georgie: "I'll crash in John Elton's bed." Taupin: "You're not the first boy to sleep there." Georgie: "I'm the first one to sleep there alone." ---------------------------- Half the bandmates are aliens, who are affected by alcohol like it's caffeine, and by caffeine like it's alcohol. Georgie (describing his actions): "In the morning, I come downstairs carrying two bottles of beer. I give one to Maxwell and take one of his mugs of coffee." ---------------------------- The band arrives at a radio station for an interview. Hoffman (welcoming the band): "You can go down to the lounge. There's a cheese plate." Roxy: "You had me at 'You can go down'." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
