Scifi_Toughguy Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... My wife and I were talking to a friend of hers(Sarah) who had just gotten back from making a character for a D&D game she wants to join. I asked her what kind of character she had made. Turns out its an elven druid. She then goes on to hope out loud that the DM will give her a cool animal companion like a tiger or some other big cat. Upon hearing that my wife exclaims: "A tiger? How many points does that cost?!?!" I love my wife! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... It was interesting to note that even in my wife's absence, her Smut Field (Change Environment, Area Of Effect, EGO Check or every sentence becomes inadvertent Innuendo) was still in effect. Amongst what was really a very low-key afternoon episode, Miss Chaos found a stall selling modified GI Joe action figure made out to look like the members of our team, The Edge, and bought a set. Trawler immediately got to work recreating recent events in Edge history - such as setting his figure in green Jello - so he could post photos to the groups MySpace page. Miss Chaos : slightly irritated by this toy abuse "How much effort are you going to go to, to torture your own figurine? Avatar : I want to set mine on fire! It's more realistic that way! Miss Chaos merely checked whether hers was wearing underwear. It was, which was inaccurate - she wears jeans under her uniform. Elsewhere, Zero was meeting an engineered dolphin. A dolphin with a diamond rostrum, super-speed, global sensory powers, and some telepathy. Zero OOC: *sings* A Super-cavitating-mega-hearing-psychic-dolphin The dolphin had some information for us but needed some medical attention for skin injuries sustained whilst finding that information The day's summary thus becomes GM : It's OK to play with dolls Miss Chaos : And I played with myself Zero : And I waxed the dolphin The dolphin line, alarmingly, carried over into the evening game, featuring the Skeleton Crew, which includes Vitus, a seven foot tall scarred and angry anthropomorphic hyena, and his consort, 3, a superhumanly desirable courtesan, dancer, seductress etc. Storm Lord : "Lets take 3 down to Cancun to dance the Can-Can" *cue chorus of the tune from players* Felicity OOC , portraying emergency services : "How did 400 19-year-old males all stop breathing at once?" Vitus OOC, who wears nothing under his robe : "I'll show you" *recreates 3's dance, himself, to renewed player chorus* Team members, NPCs : assorted wails of horror and a player's anguished "Oh God, now I'm picturing Vitus and the dolphin Fortunately, Istvatha V'han turned up to prevent any further mental trauma. The Empress of a Billion Worlds' impressively well-trained D-Soldiers promptly had us running for cover, split up, and on the back foot. 3's attempt to distract the soldiers with her seduction attack don't work, mostly because they're well-trained, alien, and 3 isn't an attractive shade of green. Vitus : Maybe it's not their mating season The Storm Lord : I'ld like to see that - Duck season! Rabbit Season! Duck Season! Mating season! Yeah, alright. The effect works fine on the rest of the team members and students tho GM : Anyone else on 3? Me : Most of us, I should think *sighs* completely innocent game-jargon, and the entire table cracks up and my wife - 3's player - blushes bright red. Vitus, the apparent target of the attack, was subdued by the combined firepower of two entire squads and a couple of tanks. He should be flattered. The Spectre runs around the corner, comes face to face with the squads and mobile artillery, whimpers a bit, and attempts to interject. D-Sergeant, in broken and badly accented English : Not to interfere! The Anomaly must be contained! Vitus, unconscious and OOC : That's the first time I've ever been called an Anomaly. 'Unspeakable threat to all that's right in the Universe', sure, but Anomaly? First Time. The Spectre : You might well have an anomaly to contain, but I can't let you take him! He's my friend! .... I can't believe I just said that. He attempts to negotiate with V'han, mostly to stall for time, and hoping that the rest of the team will show up in the next few minutes. He then, in an attempt to distract her, and allow Vitus a chance to regain conciousness and escape, tries another ploy. And in front of her loyal troopers and in full view of the mothership in low orbit, guns the beloved Empress of a huge interdimensional empire down in a spray of green blood and vital organs. With a revolver. His response to what will almost certainly spark Interdimensional War III, or at least some retaliatory strikes that will take out most of the North American continent, as he stands over the twitching, bloody body of his victim. The Spectre : Whoops Can the situation get any worse? Sure it can. 3 : Is this the bitch that tried to take my Master? *stomps on her head* and a moment after that, Void teleports in, snatches up V'han as a hostage and demands : Surrender now or I'll snap the bitch's neck! *sighs* And it was all so unnecessary! If the Empress and her soldiers had just approached politely, with their claim that Vitus a demonstrable threat to the ongoing existence of the universe and those adjacent, and that he needs to be studied and contained, he probably would have agreed with them! After all, he's already told his own colleagues that with any more provocation he's going to overwrite this universe with one of known dimensional instability. (Worse, this seems to be already happening, even without his active participation. ) Instead, the first thing they do is strafe his apartment with tank fire and try to abduct him. Even more unfortunate, all the players (if not the PCs) are aware that Istvatha V'han is going after the wrong guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't paying close attention and heard Dave (the GM) say something like this: They're a race of butts. They're all different kinds of butts, some are flying, although the man-sized butts are really the only sentient ones. Even the flying butts. The bigger butts are only semi-sentient and the really big behemoth butts are more just point them in the direction you want to go... Me (mental imagery getting very weird as brain starts to process what it thinks it is hearing): They're what?? What are we talking about?? Dave: Bugs. What did you think I said? Me: Butts (and then proceeded to riff with the rest of the crew on sentient butts etc). Needless to say I got a bad mark against my name tonight Serves me right - I should listen and keep my mis-hears to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
