Weldun Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From tonights deadlands game. My blessed character has a powerful relic that can amplify any miracles effects to an area (or an increased one). Or, I can remove the nails from it to form three swords (Cavalry Sabre, Katana, and a European Bastard Sword). Anyway, when my character first made use of the relic, one of the players quipped, "Wonder-cross powers, Activate!" Guess what the relic is...

Guest Major Tom Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... It being 2112, and Tyger being a replicant and all, they just grew him a new one. Jamadigni, on the other hand, received a whole new ribcage at one point. She was out for months.... And Lt. Hemelshot lost an arm on the same mission.... Did I mention we basically fight stuff out of Lovecraft? Oooo.... Cthulupunk HERO. Sounds interesting (in the Chinese sense of the word).

Susano Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Session 21 of Shadows Angelus (the game is now 1 year-old, we had a cake and everything!). Grady (OOC to Tyger): "That's all we need, your fuzzy-covered ass in here." Steve (OOC): This will be a Will Smith 8- Persuasion roll." Lt. Hemelshot to his unconscious brother: "Hey Charles, thanks for coming by." Mike comments on the game: "We've gone from Silent Mobius to Silent Hill." Grady on his character's performance: "I was doing real good until I burst into flames." Yar to Grady: "Shut up and smolder." Yar gives advice on how to roll a three: "Roll one die. It its a one, keep rolling." Steve: "First, Yiska gets a clue roll." *rolls* "Yiska gets a clue!" Lt. Hemelshot: "Our lives depend on how well Tyger can lie...." GM: "The Yakuza are legitimate businessmen." Mike: Yeah, they all run noodle shops." Grady: "How do you stealth a whole police precinct?" Yar: "Schwarzenegger did it in The Terminator." Grady: "He shot everyone in the building!" Yar: "And no one saw him leave!" Mike's title for Session 22: "Save the Spirit of California, save the world."

CrosshairCollie Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... New Fabulous Five Issue #1: "And Five For All!" My players have realized that Defender and Devastator's battlesuits have been overridden by an outside force, via Telepathy with the suit's wearers. They fail to make the connection that their resident robot could also be taken over ... which resulted in a cheap shot on the mentalist that came up with a whopping 28 STUN on 12d6. "I think calling this a damage roll is insulting to damage rolls." Later on, after said robot has shaken off the cyber-override of the Engineer, he proceeds to perform a mighty 21d6 Superleaping Vertical Downward Movethrough (aka Belly Flop) on Devastator, resulting in 84 Stun and 26 Body. Sunbow: "That idea probably seemed smarter before he actually tried it." Hex: "I wonder what the last thing that went through his mind was?" Me: "His feet."

AliceTheOwl Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From last night's Via game: The party teleports to Elmfair. Father Danaecus trails behind to pick up the body dumped at their doorstep. Rastal looks at the body, raises an eyebrow, then says, "It's an offering to The Great Piercylwin!" -------------------------------- Father Danaecus learns from Piercylwin that there's a way around getting hurt by Aciarren (the evil mage)'s spells: to clear one's mind of any thoughts while casting one's spells. Piercylwin says, "If Rastal were capable of casting spells, he'd be perfect for avoiding the effect. But, if he were smart enough to cast spells . . ." This spawns an OOC conversation as Rastal's player indignantly declares, "Magic bad!" Flora's player pats him on the knee and says, "Magic not bad, Rastal just feebleminded." "I will have you know," he replies, "my intelligence is better than yours!" He picks up her character sheet to show her. A moment later, he puts it back down. "Okay, never mind. Back to the game." ------------------------------------------------ Discussing what to do with a captured NPC, Rastal suggests sending him into hostile territory. "We'll put a note on him: 'Please don't kill me,' or something." ------------------------------ Flora has a very interesting discussion with the Messiah. She then approaches Father Danaecus with a request: "Michael told me to aks you to teach me the anti-pregnancy spell." Danaecus's eyebrows raise, and he, hiding a knowing smile, says, "Well, let's not waste any time, then." ----------------------------------- The players have stumbled upon another romantic subplot, with an NPC who's inconsolable about a woman he doesn't realize he has feelings for. Several drinks in, they advise him to tell her how he feels. He regards them blearily, and says, "How do I feel?" Rastal says, "Obviously pretty good." Father Danaecus, ignoring him, says, "Well, you see, when a drake and a vampire like each other . . ." --------------------------------- Flora, announcing where she'll be, tells Danaecus and Rastal, "I'm going to have dinner with Salem." Rastal calls, "Remember the spell Father Danaecus taught you!" --------------------------------------------------------------- The closing comment of the evening: "And, as the adventure draws to a close, you're all eating Chinese food."

bigdamnhero Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last night's crop of New Champions quotes: The pharmacy at the hospital where Leo (aka Promethean) works has been robbed. The security tape shows only static, but Leo asks to borrow it anyway for analysis: Leo: “Maybe I can find some sort of pattern if I stare at the static long enough.” Security Guard: “Wow, you must be really boring.” Leo: “I’m a pathologist.” Whisper fails to catch a desolidified peeping tom, but does manage to attract a crowd of curious neighbors: Whisper: “Nothing good on TV?” Random Neighbor: “Should we, like, call the cops?” Whisper: “I doubt it,” Built To Last shows Enigma his collection of Grateful Dead 8-tracks: BTL: “Now this tape is from the right side of the stage; you can hear Bob Weir say “God I’m so stoned”…” The GM takes a bathroom break while Our Heroes make their plans for staking out a strip club. I return just in time to hear this, completely sans context: Whisper: “You’re right, it doesn’t make sense for me to know you. So I just give you a stack of money.” On TV, the Yankees are playing the Mariners: Whisper: “Who’s winning.” GM: “Right now the Mariner’s are ahead." (pause) "Hey, it’s a comic book.” Enigma: “At least you didn’t say the Cubs, so it’s still somewhat believable.” BTL: “Hey, they’re going to take it all this year.” This one almost makes sense in context, but is funnier on its own: “I don’t know what these fascist lesbian superheroes want with you; get in the limo!” Mel, our desolid villain, has entangled Enigma by turning her desolid and sinking her halfway into the ground. Built To Last (power-armored brick) goes to help break her out: BTL: “I grab Enigma… and pull.” Enigma: “Not me! The ground! Hit the ground!!” Later... BTL: “And on my phase I’d like to laugh maniacally and dance in the downed power lines." (Why yes, he is a hero. Why do you ask?) Villain’s parting monologue: Mel: “You haven’t seen the last of…the Grey Ghost!” Whisper: “First off, Mel, you gotta get a better name. Cuz Grey Ghost is just lame. Promethean: “Plus it’s been taken.” Mel: “Seriously?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Another X-Crawl quote from last night's game. The party had come around a corner to face a Mirror of Opposition which created duplicates of the party's gnome rogue and dwarf fighter, the two heaviest damage dealers in melee. Gin (the rogue): After getting badly mauled by his duplicate using his own attack methods, says OOC: "Since I'm between my own duplicate and the dwarf's, Evil Gin's got me flanked. I can't kill myself quick enough in a straight up fight, so I'm turning around and shanking the dwarf's duplicate from behind. Full attack. He'll avenge me by killing my duplicate." After dealing with that, the party's rogue (Gin) experienced a run of sucky rolls for the rest of the night. Gin (OOC): After rolling his lowest initiative number ever. "I swear Evil Gin stole all my luck!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... With some of the hideously bad rolling I've seen in the past couple of weeks, I'm thinking of having the heroes stumble on the villains in the sauna. I'm not thinking the fight will be any shorter...but it might be more entertaining. For the record, I have lately, on occassion, rolled not so well. Particularly with STUNx.

Cancer Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From an email between me & the GM about a Buffy campaign. Context: one of the characters had just acquired a classical witch's broom, on which she can fly, and has some small cargo-carrying capacity; this is what the "Air Cavalry" comment below refers to. "Marshall [my character] thinks we need to create a few 20-pound incendiary devices out of magnesium, thermite (for which we can get components), and so on, for our Air Cavalry support team. As I said to [another player] at one point, let's see how the zombified corpse of Brandon Lee deals with 2300 degrees Kelvin." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
