bigdamnhero Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I have in the past not bothered to look at some players sheets' date=' knowing a character background generally gives me all i need to plan ahead for a single adventure or a long running plot; most of my combats are run off the fly. It works for me- has so far anyway.[/quote'] I can buy not knowing all the crunchy details if, as you say, you know the character's background generally. But not knowing that one of the PCs is an effing minotaur? Seems like that should've come up at some point. Quote from Monday night's Champions game. A PRIMUS Agent they're working with has disappeared, and Enigma (the mystic) suspects a certain book is involved. But the book is "Great Serpents of Myth & Legend" and Enigma is terrified of snakes. Enigma: "Hey Promethean, can you look in a book for me?" Promethean: "What am I looking for?" Enigma: "See if something rips your face off."

tancred Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last week's Turakian Age game. The player runnig our group's mage has been looking through all the Turakian Age books, and has found the Grant Wish spell (FHG, page 241). During the pre-game conversation, this player mentions the spell, and that it only costs 4 points. Then he asks if I'll allow him to take it, grinning because he knows the answer. For some reason, what came out of my mouth was, "You can pretty much plan on kissing my goblin butt before you get that one." Have NO idea why I said that, but ALL the players cracked up.

Kirby Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From my online League of Champions game: Sapphire is the only NPC here. Six PCs from the previous "who could we possibly question" quote, have returned to Homestead (along with Sapphire) after questioning the criminals in a PRIMUS holding facility. Comic Book Coincidently, three PCs from San Francisco (one being Cheshire Cat - reformed, sort of) have traveled to Millennium City to ask about info on PSI. Cheshire Cat: Hey gorgeous; Long time, no see. In case you didn't hear, I'm a card carrying good guy now... just want to apologize for that time I replaced the pictures in the museum of modern art with the photoshopped pictures of you I got on the internet... err... you didn't know that was me did you... err... well, never mind that. Let's just let bygones be bygones. Now that I'm a good guy, how about we hit the town and paint it red? Sapphire: Witchcraft has been captured by DEMON.

Barbara vdB Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... City On The Edge campaign - still trying to locate the individual who is going around with exploding trilobites, and paralytic inhalent agents based on squid sperm. GM (Weldun) : Why do you keep calling them an assassin? They haven't killed anybody, yet. Trawler : Maybe they're a character assassin? Zero : "Mayor Fellates Squid - Film At Eleven" elsewhen Miss Chaos defending her intelligence : "I've got brain cells - in a jar!" Mysterious winged figure spies on us from overhead, as we argue aimlessly about what to do next. Zero : "Maybe it's a Clue Bat" Miss Chaos teleports the team's heavy-hitters to the docks Miss Chaos : "Having our two most destructive members on site should fix anything" Zero : "Interesting use of 'fix' there" Assassin is located escaping by scyphozoan. Later.... Miss Chaos : "What the hell was Avatar doing attacking a giant jellyfish?" Zero : "Jelly Wrestling?" Zero reports on events. "Well, first there were the VIPER Boa constrictors, and the VIPER iguanas, and the VIPER vipers, and then we followed the Clue Bat back here, where Avatar got in a fight with a jellyfish and lost, and I followed the bald girl with long hair. She showed me her pearl. I told her I was Jimmy Hoffa and I'd dug myself out from under the freeway. Then her friend the Clue Bat stabbed me in tummy and I was rescued by a super-cavitating, mega-hearing psychic dolphin." All, amazingly, quite true. Apart from the Jimmy Hoffa bit, which was merely an alibi. Evidence locates the secret hide-out of the bad guys, and suggests re-using our witnesse's escape-route in reverse to sneak in. Namely, attaching a rebreather-squid and climbing back thru the Himalayan spring he washed out of. Zero refuses point-blank. "No squid-fellating and back-door entrances for Zero, thank you very much." : No Vitus this week, alas. Whatever will the world do without us? Survive, probably.... Comparisons of the two campaigns were however, made. In one, universal destruction looms, several times over. In the other, Foxbat was invited to a 21st/Coming Out party, and accepted. Orca/Avatar : "Can you really see anybody in the Kingdom City campaign sending Dr Destroyer an invite?" Zero/Vitus : "He's not really a party sort of guy..." Innocent passerby : "Oh god, now I'm picturing someone with a name like Doctor Destroyer wearing a lampshade on his head and singing karaoke" As you can tell by the phrasing of the comments, the person with the Smut Field was sitting at the table this week. As for the comment about brain cells, due to the max temperatures being above 30C since before Christmas, I haven't had much sleep. Braindead does not begin to describe the state of various members of our group who work odd shifts. Other cases of true brilliance Avatar has vulnerability water, he dived into the 4m wide jellyfish. (98% water) in the bay, wither it breaks and sinks or it doesn't break & he sinks. Same damage either way. Zero (in black suit, at night)flies off after the jellyfish and then calls for help when the passengers spot him. Can't tell them where he is. Miss Chaos doing a Shag (wet wings hung out the side to dry) finally remembers to just turn them off then on again. Flies off after him ( grey robes ,black and grey wings). Avatar heads off after them, one he gets dry. Providing his own light by firing off plasma,in the dark. While trying to find two people in dark clothing, also in the dark. No one got hit. NOte:Do not try reading a character sheet written in pencil with sunglasses on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: Do not try reading a character sheet written in pencil with sunglasses on. And yet, despite running this game, I am as sane as I was when I started. Which is to say, not very. Quotes from this week's Fading Suns campaign where the situation officially has been downgraded from FUBAR to SNAFU. They really work better without too much context, just know that we are on a space station that just jumped from one system to another (by-passing another system entirely) and back again in less than 20 minutes. The station also had a serious Symbiot infestation. "And you think this is confusing. I'm watching it happen!" OOC: "I now name this place, Amityville Station. 'GET OUT!'" And, when trying to describe the monochromatic red of what remains of the station's control center. OOC: "You've seen 'The Shining', right?" But my fave, not for any amusement value, but for the dirty looks it got from my fellow players. Me (Inquisitor-Oblate Dutch McClaine): "By Inquisitorial order, all aboard Edo station and the battleship 'Retribution' are herby sentenced to one day of penance." I just love my title.

Best thing Piers Anthony ever wrote was in A Spell for Chameleon. A Manticore has committed himself to serving the Magician Humphrey for a year out of his life, for the answer to one question: "Do I have a soul?" The answer was "Only those who have souls are concerned about them." He exlains to the protagonist (I'm paraphrasing) "It was the perfect answer. A simple yes or no would not have satisfied me - it could be an offhand opinion. A complicated philosophical treatise would only have confused the issue. He not only gave me a true answer, he gave it in such a way that I know it's true." Lucius Alexander The puzzled palindromedary examines its feet and claims to have four soles.
