Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

*sigh* Possitively Dewightfull.

 

From my Star Wars game, the PC's were about to land their fighters in the secondary bay of a crippled pirate vessel when the Jedi "felt a distrubance, as if someone was waiting, waiting for him." So he radioed the tech's fighter.

 

Jedi - "I’ve got a feeling."

 

Tech - "Is this the sort of feeling where you need to talk to someone on the big ship? Or the sort of feeling where you needed to go to the toilet before the space battle."

I can't believe people are taking time to wight these terrible puns. It's like your end ghoul is to make us all aghast. But you haven't a ghost of a chance.

 

And if you start getting close, look out... It's possible one of the bricks could show up with a few wabbit punches and a wight cross. (Or a cross wight, for that matter.)

in this thread.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

I'm having flashbacks to Megaman 8....

 

From Scales out of Balance:

 

Rogg tries to plan a response if anybody outside asks if someone is inside the truck. “Yes” is wrong. “No” seems right. “I won’t tell you” might be even better – more cagey, more reserved. But, there’s still something wrong with it. Rogg holds the back of his fist against his brow, thinking hard. ~What’s wrong?~ … levels behind levels...

 

Outside, somebody hammers on the side of the truck.

 

“If there’s anybody in there, come out with your hands up!”

 

That’s an easy one – mighty Rogg isn’t the type to come out with his hands in the air.

 

With a frown, Rogg folds his arms in settled contemptuous silence – and the moment of danger passes.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

Not so much a quote as a bad-luck situation. Pardon the backstory.

 

Getting in the waaaay-back machine, back to like 1983. Playing a game of Top Secret. My two teammates were searching an offshore casino/hotel for a stolen nuke, while I managed to get hired as additional security for one of the bidders as the nuke is about to get auctioned.

 

My "boss" won the bidding, and we (the boss, his bodyguard, his bimbo du jour, and myself) were heading down to get his new purchase loaded onto a boat. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to me, my teammates had located the nuke, KO'd the guards, and taken their assault rifles.

 

As soon as the elevator opened and there were no guards visible, Mr. Bodyguard knew something was wrong, so he and I went out to investigate. We rounded the corner to see my teammates standing over the KO'd guards. I dove to the ground and aimed my pistol above my teammates' heads, not wanting to blow my cover yet.

 

GM (points to player 1): The bodyguard is bringing his pistol to bear on you, but you get to go first.

 

Player 1: I blow him away with the rifle! (rolls a critical failure, meaning the gun jammed) Okay, maybe not.

 

Player 2: Okay, *I* blow him away! (rolls the same critical failure, so his rifle is jammed too.) Wow, what are the chances of *that*?!

 

Me: (OOC to the other players) Guess it's up to me to save your sorry butts... (to the GM) I roll onto my back, aim at the bodyguard, and shoot him. (rolls - you guessed it - the same darn critical failure, so my gun is jammed and I'm lying there defenseless at his feet) Oooookay... Not good.

 

Luckily, the GM let one of the other players drop the useless rifle, quick-draw his pistol, and plug the bodyguard before he could shoot me.

Was the next adventure trying to find the enemy mole in your agency, hiding in the ordnance department?

This reminded me of an old Spacemaster session from the 1980s:

 

PC 1 (a warrior replicant) runs out of ammo on his own gun and picks up a Colosian-made blaster carbine from one of the dead soldiers from House Colos nearby. He promptly rolls a critical failure (dead power pack). Cursing his luck, he picks up another one and rolls the exact same critical failure number (dead power pack).

 

PC1: "It can't happen a third time." Picks up another gun and rolls the exact same failure a third time in a row. :D

 

PC1: "Ahhh!!! Cheapjack Colosian weapons!"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

As long as we're going back to the old days:

 

PC (Flying Tiger, a catman superhero): Give up, Warstar, that earthquake machine will never work.

 

Warstar: I don't think so, Tiger. Take another step forward and I'll find 102 uses for a dead cat.

 

---------------------------------

While playing D+D, one of my players crossed the line between heroic and stupid.

 

PC: Mike, I leap off the edge, tumble through the air, and land on the dragon's head.

 

PC2 (OOC): Did someone say "Scooby Snack?" I thought I heard someone say "Scooby Snack!"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

The Freedom League campaign had its final session for a while last night. Ill miss it. Here are some highlights.....

 

[Valentina is a stunningly gorgeous Russian girl who has been dating Guardian Alpha]

 

Troubleshooter (OOC): What's Valentina's favorite candy?

 

Guardian Alpha (OOC): *Huuuuuuge sh*t-eating grin*:D

 

-----------------

 

Troubleshooter: Say what you will about America, but fifty bucks will buy you a susprising number of rats!

 

[Cut to Trouble Central, Troubleshooter's hideout]

 

Monarch: Wow. Thats a susprising number of rats....

 

--------------------

 

Monarch: I dont know what worries me more-

 

Troubleshooter: I do!

Troubleshooter: THATS the one! :D

 

-----------------------

 

Troubleshooter: SPUNTHOLE!

 

--------------------

 

Black Cat: I got to see a lot of the old gang.

 

Guardian Alpha: I hope everyone had a good holiday.

 

Black Cat: Cannon seemed down, as always. I dont think he said ten words all weekend.

 

Troubleshooter: Maybe someone dared him not to say eleven words all weekend.

 

Guardian Alpha: Too Calvin Coolidge.

 

Troubleshooter: With Love, Julie Newmar!

 

Guardian Alpha: ...Huh?!?

 

-----------------

 

Guardian Alpha (OOC): Maybe we can bring her back! Its a superhero world. Characters only have to stay dead until the managing editor changes!

 

----------------

 

Troubleshooter: If I had the strength....Id flip you off....spunthole.

 

Guardian Alpha: Is that even a real word?

 

Troubleshooter: It is now.

 

--------------------

 

[Troubleshooter is in the Freedom League Headquarters laundry facility, leaning against a washer wearing his full-face helmet, his combat boots, armored trenchcoat, and boxer shorts, reading a newspaper while his costume spins]

 

Freedom League Agent: *Comes in and looks surprised*

 

Troubleshooter: Hey. Got a quarter?

 

Freedom League Agent: Um...sure. *Gives him a quarter*

 

Troubleshooter: *Tucks it in his coat pocket and goes back to reading the paper*

 

Freedom League Agent: :/

 

----------------------

 

Troubleshooter: I live by the Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle. People either know where I am, or what Im doing, but never both.

 

--------------------

 

Freedom League Technician: We can repair your hovercycle as soon as we can get a sapphire bearing gyroscopic gymbal.

 

[Later]

 

Troubleshooter:...and they said they could fix is as soon as they got a sapphire from Bryant Gumbal.

 

Guardian Alpha: That has GOT to be a translation error.

 

Monarch: Yeah. Everyone knows all Bryant Gumbal produces is diamonds.

 

-----------------------

 

 

Troubleshooter: So, like, can you see thru your own clothes? Are you just walking around visually naked to yourself, all day? Every day? What about when you look at your mom? Shes hawt! :love:

 

Guardian Alpha: >_<

 

-----------------------

 

Guardian Alpha (OOC): Okay, I dont have any Lack of Weakness, so Ill end up being massively Stunned, and taking 9 Body in one shot, dropping me to almost half. Ouch. What did he hit me with? A rocket?

 

GM: No, a plasma beam.

 

Guardian Alpha (OOC): Dammit. That means he can do it again!

 

------------------------

 

GM: [Medulla] Once more youve confused Rockets for Beams! BEEEEEEAMS! [/Medulla]

 

-----------------------

 

Monarch: Ive weighed this decision very carefully. Im afraid I approve.

 

-----------------------

 

Troubleshooter: Believe it or not *throws a pair of anti-tank grenades at the alien tank-crawler, destroying it in one Phase* I CAME PREPARED!

 

Monarch: About f**king time!

 

---------------------

 

GM: So, against half of your defenses-

 

Monarch (OOC): What?

 

GM: So, against half of your defenses-

 

Monarch (OOC): Excuse me?

 

GM: So, against half of your defenses-

 

Monarch (OOC): Pardon?

 

GM: So, against ONE QUARTER of your defenses...

 

----------------

 

[After much soap-opera-worthy melodrama, Monarch has been reunited with his ex-wife and child]

 

Troubleshooter: Once she marries you, shes family.

 

Monarch: Shes already married me once, you know.

 

Troubleshooter: THAT just makes her stupid... *Flees*

 

---------------------

 

Monarch: Its all right. I have a much better shot while she's unconscious.

 

[believe it or not, this statement was -completely- innocent] :sneaky:

 

------------------

 

Monarch: You have -already- attacked a member of the Freedom league.

 

Alien Avenger: *Defiantly* Who?

 

Guardian Alpha: Me. You hit me with an anti-vehicular weapon when you were coming into orbit.

 

Alien Avenger: *Takes a moment to absorb that her anti-vehicular weapon seems to only have wrinkled Guardian Alpha's cape* That... was an automated defense system. It was your fault!

 

Troubleshooter: YOU are responsible for your automated defenses!

 

[i told you that story to tell you this one]

 

Guardian Alpha (OOC): I stop by the HQ cafeteria to check on Troubleshooter.

 

Troubleshooter (OOC): I hit him with a pie!! :D

 

Guardian Alpha: Youre STILL responsible for your automated defenses!

 

*Foodfight*

Running an Adventure game(Same as before) Note, the lady(Li Hastings) is a mentalist for the other side they've taken prisoner.

 

Raijin: "Something's come up for me. I'll be in touch to facilitate what I've mentioned. In the interim.."

*points his staff at Hastings* "Don't enslave anyone or give them reason to kill you"

*points to Drake* "Don't be enslaved or pester the lady about things she knows nothing about"

*points to Pai Li* "Don't kill the lady."

 

Maybe we should just transcribe everything Pendaran says here. . .
