Comic Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Likely the expressions being looked for when 'Geneva Convention' is used is "Non-NATO-Approved." Which is indeed a description of ballistic weapons which are big enough and powerful enough that using them to specifically target human beings is not approved by NATO. Thermite rounds, explosive rounds, rounds with certain radioactive materials, toxins or bioagents, cable rounds, chain rounds, etc. all enjoy this category, too. I don't know anything about how the laws apply to using these particular things, other than of course I'm disinclined to use them myself and would be annoyed if anyone used them at me.

Weldun Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... BACK ON TOPIC! In last nights Shadowrun game, our team was involved in a car chase, us in a van, and 18 guys packed into 3, old-model Ford Americars. So, while there is some fire exchanged my, street shaman (Jackie) lobs stun spells, quickly putting the opposing drivers into unconsciousness. Afterwards, the street samurai (Johnny, who was packing an assault rifle with underbarrel grenade launcher during the fight) decides to question Jackie on his tactics. Johnny: Uh, you didn't have to kill them you know. Jackie: I used non-lethal force. Johnny: What? Jackie: I only used non-lethal force. Johnny: Three crashed cars would beg to differ. Jackie: It's not my fault that they were driving whilst tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless' date=' the end effect of hydrodynamic shock on a person is that the big mean bullet goes in a small hole on one side and goes out the other in a big gorey, oozey, frying-pan size hole in the other and leaves behind a thick paste that used to be internal organs.[/quote'] I am strongly reminded of a recent 'Mythbusters', where they (unsuccessfully) tried to detonate medicinal nitro-glycerine. As the finale, they acquired some very NON-medicinal nitro glycerine, then implanted this into the chest of a ballistics-gel dummy out on the police bomb-range they regularly use. The explosive was then set off. The slow-mo footage of the results is both spectacular and horrific (dummy totally totalled, needless to say!). Darned good illustration of hydrodynamic / hydrostatic shock, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Frisbee Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Setup: The Firefly-esque Traveller game from my previous post. Our characters, desperate to avoid the Imperial authorities looking for their wrecked ship and its contraband cargo, jury rig a set of gravitic lifters to it so it can be moved to a better hiding place at a nearby strip mine. Problem with most jury rig jobs, of course, is that they only work for so long... Shep (Pilot): We're moving! We're moving! Rav (Passenger): I kinda wish we *urp* weren't. Any way you can steady this thing before I lose my lunch? Nero (Engineer): Gorram reactor control program is only working intermittently -- that's why she's riding like a six bit whore! *Ship pitches nose down violently, the final straw for Rav's stomach as he becomes violently airsick* Shep (to Rav): Hey, watch my shoes!

bigdamnhero Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Quotes from Tacticon 2007: First, a few from my Champions games. The Heroes have been dumped in the Norse Mythology section of Faerie. (Scenario partly recycled from a previously-quoted adventure with my home campaign.) In mid-blizzard, Force Majeure (who has LS: Intense Cold) offers to comfort the lovely Magnetica (who doesn’t, and is wishing her costume were a bit less skimpy). Force Majeure: “Ah, Magnetica, stand close to me; I will extend my force field to keep you warm.” GM: “It doesn’t actually work that way.” Force Majeure: (OOC) “Shhhh!” The heroes reach the hall of Thrym, King of the Frost Giants. GM: “The twin doors each have an enormous iron knocker, around 500 lbs apiece. All together now…” Players: “What knockers!” They meet the Norse god Freyr. Pebbles can’t help herself (or chooses not to try) and keeps hitting on the handsome god. Later, the heroes recover several artifacts, including Freyr’s long-lost sword. Pebbles: “I grab Freyr’s sword!” Magnetica: “I’ll bet you do.” Illuminatus: “Just try and keep it sheathed until we get out of here, okay?” (etcetera, etcetera…) Much later… Supersonic: “Yes! I totally peed in Set’s pool!!” (He did, too.) Various quotes from other games: GM: “You’re all in the bar getting roaring drunk.” Sammy: “Oh, it’s Tuesday.” Azie starts singing: Willie: “The problem with the world is you can get blind drunk, but you can’t get deaf drunk.” Context forgotten. Weeda: “Everyone deserves a chance to be a hero.” Rich: “Even the Hobbits?” Karl: “Especially the Hobbits!!” The Clueless Teen Queen blows her umpeeth Perception roll in a row: “I’ve gotta hand it to you; I’ve never seen anyone’s dice stay in character that long.” At the end of the worst railroad scenario I’ve ever had the misfortune to play: the GMNPC has saved the day before most of us even got to act, the base is on fire, and we’ve just been told our transportation has left without us, when another NPC jumps up and, for no clear reason, tells us (his enemies) that he knows a way out. GM: “What do you do.” Me: [shrug] “I follow the railroad tracks.” Other Players: “Choo choo!” And a couple random OOC “Overheard at the Con” quotes: “They moved the vending machines to the stairwells… so gamers will never find them.” Three guys standing outside the hotel catching up. Guy #1: “I'm sorry to hear about your divorce.” Guy #2: “Hey, it’s not your fault.” Guy #1: “How do you know?” Guy #3: “Um, I’ll be inside…” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... For our convention game (part 2), Thag was brave enough to play the Prince, who was supremely confident in his abilities, despite the mocking from the rest of the party. We're starting combat, and he makes a word blurb before jumping into the fray. He rolls for his Acting first, rolling a three. This would've been funny enough, without the ineffective attack the rest of the players then mock him about. He tells them to shut up, then gets back in character, puts his hands on his hips, and declares, "Shut up!" Later, table chatter gets out of hand, and the players prepare to ambush the Prince to bring him to his senses. Deciding whether it's a surprise attack, he says, "It's a surprise attack. I didn't even hear him say it." At the tavern, said by the hero's (female) player: "The hero realizes her cleavage can't compete with beer." A later task has the players rescuing a telepathic egg. It's handed off to a character unaware of this, and he hears a voice in his head. He pauses, looks up, and says, aloud, "God?" Finally, the contents of the egg are revealed, and a small blue dragon head pokes out of the broken shell. Someone shouts, "Put the top back on!" After fighting off several guards and most of the party is singed from mis-aimed dragon fire, and most of them have melted or burnt clothing, the party turns to the singed one holding the egg. "Is the egg okay?" The Prince continues to be heckled, despite his invitation up to a beautiful woman's room, with implications that she's not really a woman. He declares, "You won't be laughing long!" after I clarify that yes, she's female. The players retort with, "Nothing long in that room, that's for sure!" The evil priest has just set a seraphim on the party, with the orders to kill them all. The party priest, thinking it might listen to another priest, says, "Don't kill them all! Ha!" Having realized that the evil priest is unable to be harmed so long as a music box on the desk plays, the party priest leaps for it, grabs it, and declares, "Time for the remix!" The priest makes a touch attack for several dice of killing damage, prompting the player to declare, "Bad touch! Bad touch!" Took us about five minutes to get back on track, considering all the priest jokes that spawned. Really fun game, though. Can't wait for next year's.
