PaulK Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Back to the game quotes... Several years back in a Fading Suns campaign I played the starship pilot for the group. One quirk of the ship is that the heat shield was installed on the top[/] of the hull, requiring re-entry to be done upside down. Needless to say that imposed all manner of penalties. For those unfamiliar with FS, it is a very unforgiving game system. The last thing you want to do is critically fail a roll. I ended up rolling my very large dice pool (something like 10d6) needing 3 or more 5+ rolls. I rolled straight 1s leading to the biggest understatement in many years when I said, "Uh oh." /Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Episode 23 of Shadows Angleus This was it. The fate of the world hung in the hands of 6 officers of Angelus XSWAT. Omega Sector has cracked open, and evil was pouring out as horde of utterly unknowable monsters led by what can only be described by a 200' tall walking Barad-dur. I wrote down what I could (there was a lot going on), and will include a few of the spells Jama cast. Jamadigni Renuka: "[The spell] requires the sacrifice of a living sentient being." Lt. Hemelshot: "Do we have enough time for that?" (A player's cats invade the game area. One takes up residence in the GM's dice corral.) "I'm in your dice corral, being all cute." "You [the cat] can't be cute when I'm describing armageddon!" Yiska Karouk christens Hemelshot's spinner: "[This one is] the last one you will ever crash." Steve (OOC): "Use my preferred method -- ask the GM and do what he says." GM describing a crashing spinner: "Ping, thud." Yiska about Brogan the cyborg: "As a cold-blooded machine, I'd expect that out of him." Jama casts The Spirits Of The Silver Screen, a spell that taps into the collective mythology of Hollywood and the film industry in general. The incantations go like this: I, Jamadigni Renuka, call upon the Spirits of Hollywood Hear me, legends of the silver screen, and lend me some of your symbolic power Schwarzenegger and Stallone, lend me your Strength Chan and Lee, lend me your Speed Wayne and Willis, lend me your Stamina Connery and Yun-Fat lend me your Sophistication I, Jamadigni Renuka, do call and command. Those near her saw her uniform become brighter and more 'color corrected' and heard a voice call "and... action!" There was also the faint smell of popcorn and a strange whirring noise no one could identity. Jama (under the effect of Spirits Of The Silver Screen to a collection of security guards: "Move out of the way, or there will be... trouble." GM to Yiska: "I don't mean to hit your psych lims with a hammer, but: AAAAAAHHH!!!" (the sound of two men falling off of a 100+ story building). Mike: "They fall every segment." Grady: "They accelerate every segment too." GM: "Give me a damage die roll on your TK." Grady: "Don't roll the yellow ones." Grady to Mike when Mike asked how Jama ended up on point: "When everyone else takes knockback, you're automatically on point." Carpenter: "We're here to save the city, and the world. You can either help, or get out of the way." Hart: "What can we do?" Cadbury: "You can get out of my office." Mike trying to decide how to save the world: "Option B allows for a sequel." Mike on saving the world: "Jama is going to make the seal. You can all fight over the head of Vecna later." Josh (OOC): "I just had a thought." Mike (OOC): "Quick have another so it won't be lonely." Mike's montage for the attacking Entities: "NOM NOM NOM!!!" "Can I get a stealth roll for my 20' tall mecha?" GM: "You'll be pulling a berserk power armor towards your own people." GM: "You manage the crazy people off the bridge and into the city." Nestor: "Let me get this straight.... Bridge, us, Gurzorath, HQ." GM: "Yes." Nestor: "F**k." Hemelshot: "9th Squad! HOLD THE LINE!" Mike (OOC): "Said from a stretcher!" Jama needs to power the seal she's created to shut down the gate between this world and another. She calls upon the Earth itself to do it. Gaia, spirit of the Earth, mother of all life, I call upon you and ask you to awaken. Your land, air, water, and children are threatened by enemies who will devour and despoil all before them. Awaken mother of all nature, and bring forth the full force of your wrath and fury. Lend me your power, so I, Jamadigni Renuka one of your daughters, can act in your stead, and sweep our enemies before us and wash you free of their stain! Jama on how she completed the spell: "I gave it the newest thing I had; my next breath." Grady comment on the havoc the 9th Squad wrecked on the enemy: "There's the Entity penalty box over there."

Remjin Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From our Heroes for Hire game this week... Torch Song explores a deep crevice in the floor of a sewer line... Father Martin: What do you see down there? Torch Song: Rocks, water, and... an aquarium! Oh, oh, and lizards! C'mere lucky lizard... FM: Eeew... poo lizards... ******* Upon discovering a set of tracks along a rather slippery slope... Wendigo: The tracks appear to be coming up to this point, we should be able to climb down... Torch Song: I'll just fly down. Father, would you like a ride? Father? Father Martin: AAAAAAaaaaahhhh.... *CRASH* ******** Torch Song: Are you okay? FM: I don't dare move to find out... Wendigo: I'm coming down! FM: Christ on a bike... (ooc) I scramble out of the way. ********** FM: I'm starving. If I knew we were going to be here so long I would have brought some food. Wendigo rummages around in his fur, bringing out a wrapped food bar. FM: Where do you keep this stuff? W: Around. FM: better not to ask? W: Yep. Pretty much.

Hermit Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... In our last session playing the Saints, some PRIMUS agents died. We start this one, among other things, with our characters paying respects to the fallen. My own character, Gaze, brought flowers privately later on, but my post was totally blown away by another PC named Facet's. Facet watches silently, his bearing that of a soldier, remembering other funerals: the slow strain of Taps, the Flag and the Salute causing him to recall the final stanza of a poem: The Final Inspection... "Step forward now, you soldier, You've borne your burdens well, Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets, You've done your time in Hell." .oO(God speed, and find peace. The Watch changes...)
