Dolby (To Prisoners): "Okay fellows, I have a couple of questions for you and, well, we only need one of you alive." He activates the VibroClaw. They give Dolby the answer. Genius! In our Cyberpunk 2020 game a few weeks ago, after a long and arduous game of stealing a little under a dozen cars, each getting blown to bits, and scraping by the skin of our teeth to somehow actually achieve our mission (we really should've died multiple times, and the GM loves killing CP chars., so it really was complete luck), we return to our boss. Also, at the beginning of the game, we had just arrived in Vegas, and my character ended up going to the tables to make a bit of money. Unfortunately, he blew all but 10 Euros on Blackjack. It was a really unlucky night for gambling. Crimeboss: "Well, here's a check, you can cash it in at the cashiers desk in my casino right over there. Thanks a lot boys, we'll be doing business again real soon." We both walk to the desk with the cash. Cashier: "Would you like that in cash, or chips?" Both Our Characters look at each other and without hesitation yell: "Chips!" Credits roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoloOfEarth Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last night's D&D game: A little background: Over a year before, our fighter, Aren, was mentally "visited" in his sleep by the female necromancer, Cinobit. Aren managed to fail *every* saving throw, and by the time another hero discovered him, Cinobit had walked through Aren's mind with hobnail boots and he was bleeding from his eyes, ears, and pores. This failure to resist Cinobit has led to our joking that she is Aren's girlfriend. Since Cinobit is a major baddie that nearly kicked our butts several times, we've also joked that one day we'll all end up as her pawns. Anyway, on to the present. The party had defeated Grishnak, the orc chieftan, and were doing the whole "looting" thing. We found a stoppered black bottle with odd writing around the side, in a language none of us recognized. It's magical, but the wizard's attempt to identify the bottle failed, strongly implying that the bottle is an artifact of some sort. Also, the cleric detected that the bottle, and the writing on it, is evil. Aren: Well, I have that helmet that lets me understand any language. Maybe I can use that to read the writing.... DM: (smiling evilly) So, you're going to read it? Yllek: Wait! I cast an Augury. Oh, Autumn Willow, please let us know! Will Aren reading the bottle bring weal or woe? DM: You get a vision. You see Aren, many years older, his hair long and luxurious, his armor shining, a great weapon strapped to his back. He is kneeling at Cinobit's feet, kissing her hand, obviously in adoration. Yllek: Whoa! Wow, that was some vision! Devlyn: What did you see? Yllek: (shrugs) Apparently Aren reading the bottle won't change anything. - - - - - - - - We had gotten the information on Grishnak's location from another adventuring party. In the process of getting the info, however, their rogue had lost his leg. Yllek: I want to take Grishnak's leg back to that rogue as a souvenir. Ryan: The leg has magical runes all over it. For all we know, Cinobit can track it magically. Yllek: Okay, so the smart thing would be to burn the leg with the rest of the body. But I wouldn't be fulfilling my duties as a player character if I didn't do something unwise. So I'm taking the leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder about a game where people lojack their (or their servants') limbs. That same baddie, Cinobit, had put a magical curse on Aren that allowed her to see through his eyes and hear through his ears, until we managed to get it removed. We called it "Cinovision." So I wouldn't put lojacking limbs past her. Though she's more likely to have done it to keep track of him, not just parts of him. Same game, we said, "Okay, we're taking *everything* off Grishnak. DM: EVERYthing?! Okay, you strip him down. (Looks at the two female players) And you can now see why he's called Grishnak the Mighty.

I have to wonder about a game where people lojack their (or their servants') limbs. In Josh's Valdorian Age game, our necromancer took the leg my barbarian had sliced off a mook. We called the mook "Stumpy," and the necromancer magically added the leg to one of the skeletons she carried around for reanimation purposes. Stumpy survived the de-legging, and was incensed when he found out what we did with his leg. It made for an amusing combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me: Well, the reason they did that is Linda Carter was a dancer, so she could do it in high heels without getting dizzy. Barry: Granted -- but wasn't that stupid? Me: I got a one word argument for that... Barry: What? Me: SHAZAM! Barry: Hey, don't be digging on Captain Marvel!

Pilot to the rest of the crew...'So jumping into Hyperspace is bad without a Nav computer right?' Haven't read the rest of the thread (yet), but this reminded me of something... Back when we played Star Wars, a friend of mine, playing a bounty hunter type character, offers his hand to this guy whom we were supposed to go rescue, and says "Come with me if you wanna live." Said guy immediately proceeds to fire his blaster at (and kill) my friend's character. Unbeknownst to him, it was all a lie, the guy was actually one of the bad guys. After a couple of seconds of slack-jawed shock, much laughter ensued. None of it by my friend, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Here are some quotes from the League of Champions game on HeroCentral. They're from the past couple of months. In the future, I'll try to post them as they happen. The overall scene is that the PCs have been captured by V'han's forces and awoke in the brig. Their prison uniforms are pink and lime green horizontally striped overalls. In individual threads: Cheshire Cat: oO(I can't believe I became a hero and I still ended up in jail... this sucks.) -- Field Test: oO(I've had some lousy days since Sandy met me with that armor... some good ones too. This is one of the lousy ones. Definitely one of the lousy ones.) With that thought, and others, running through his head, he got up and started quietly exploring his cell. .oO(Wonder if Vhan needs a decent accountant... can't be that much worse than working for a Big Four during year end....) -- Ronin: oO(This...uniform is most undignified. Something else the aliens will pay for. This I swear!) ----- When the jailer (caterpillar body, human torso, six arms) asks in rhyme if anyone needs to use the group unisex bath room: Snow Leopard: Yes, use of the facilities would be greatly appriciated, thank you. As would the return of my uniform. This is not my color. Or anybody elses'. I also seem to have misplaced my communicator, my ipod, my cell phone and the sword I took from Destroyer, please be a lamb and see if you can locate those for me, would you?" Ronin: oO(I would tell Snow Leopard to do nothing rash, but I might as well tell the fish of the water not to swim. By the gods, I swear that woman goads people just to see how much she can get away with.) Cheshire Cat: oO(A talking centaur caterpillar that rymes... I wonder if has a hookah?) Amazon: oO(Taking a shower? That's too much like one of those sleazy 'women in prison' films.) ----- Unknown (at the time): Jailer," comes a deep, masculine voice, with some type of European accent, "I too wish to go." Jailer: I'm sure you would, but the answer is 'no.' You're just too dangerous to go. You know, old lord, you must go alone. That's the price you pay for having a throne. Snow Leopard: oO(Great! Destroyer is a couple of cells down, and I've been shooting my mouth off about taking his sword.) It turned out that it was Taurus of the Zodiac, not Destroyer. ----- Ronin: oO(As I've thought all along...there's more going on here than meets the eye. I just wish I had the brains to figure out what it is.) ----- Cheshire Cat smiles and winks at the beautiful woman (Com 30) as he passes her cell. .oO(Hello nurse... I hope she isn't part of another Execution Squad.) Later... Field Test: I think the gal with the white hair was a model back when I was about ten or so," Field Test offered quietly. "Some sort of psycho who took out about a dozen cops and was never heard from again... weird Cheshire Cat: oO(A pyscho killer... man, I know how to pick 'em) ----- Cheshire Cat: oO(Ah, grub time... I wonder if it is a universal law that prison food has to suck.... hmm, for alien goop this is not as bad as I thought it would be. Who would have thunk it?) --- Cheshire Cat: oO(You know, I could be on a beach in the south of France right now. But no, I had to be a good guy. Now I am stuck in a brig of an interstellar invader, being fed by a caterpillar centaur talking to a Minotaur... that's just weird.) --- Having seen Taurus (minotaur, bull horns), Capricorn (satyr, small "devilish" horns) and Aries (big guy, ram horns)... Cheshire Cat: (A secret group that is trying to shape the governance of the earth... and they have horns... this just keeps getting weirder and weirder.) ----- Taurus: Are you the leader then, Snow Leopard? Snow Leopard: No, actually I'm a bond enforcement agent and a reservist in the NYPD, or was until UNTIL came calling. ----- GM: Note, for future reference, you don't have to roll to hit a stationary door that you're next to. ----- Cheshire Cat: Damn, Gemnini is kind of a dick. ----- The Hood OOC: The Hood is going to do his level best to be the consummate gentleman - keeping eye contact, smiling, making it clear he's not ogling anyone. EGO, 12-: (17, failed by 5) Jiggawatt OOC:It looks like the Hood will be sporting wood. The Hood OOC: COLD SETTING! COLD SETTING! ----- The Hood OOC: Wash, wash, clean clean. Being in prison is no excuse to negclect one's personal hygene. ----- Cheshire Cat: oO(Wow, Gemini really is a dick... useful, but a real prick. Oh well, papi always used to say that you play the cards you are dealt.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
