MilkmanDan Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Friday's campaign. Most of the quotes I wrote down were either from Flatblack (my shapechanging stretcher) or Afterburn (speedster): PC1: "Another train? Why do all the supervillains have trains?" PC2: "Are all our supervillains European or something?" The villains' base features a five-floor sub-basement, accessible by a long sloping ramp that curves around an elevator shaft. Flatblack: "Nice to see an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant villain base." We're repeatedly getting attacked by a villain who can do a "sensory deprivation" flash, shutting off all senses. Afterburn: "Call me Tommy!" Flatblack, flashed shortly thereafter: "Drool Buddy!" Afterburn is flashed and has no sense data whatsoever, yet keeps attacking with his AOE One Hex NND. Flatblack, mocking him: "Yeah, when he comes to, it'll be, 'Look at this wall! What kind of an idiot kept attacking the wall!'" Ghost, a (not surprisingly) ghost, heals Flatblack. PC: "Thanks, Cleric"! Afterburn: "Question--can you turn yourself?" Several PCs get attacked by Slither (IIRC), who has a rather unpleasant Does Body NND where the mechanic is he grabs you, then shoves a mechanical tentacle down your throat. Flatblack: "Oh great, it's Hentai Hero." Flatblack: "I shapechange into a form with no mouth." Pause. "On second thought, I shapechange into a form with absolutely no bodily orifices whatsoever." Afterburn: "I hope his defenses aren't hardened, if you know what I mean." After another series of tentacles-testicles jokes: Flatblack: "Can we fight people with tentacles every week? It never stops being funny." At the end, after a less-than-spectacular effort by the heroes, we manage to stop the train, and a supervillain surrenders to us rather than keep fighting. Afterburn: "He surrenders? To us? This guy pretty much just surrendered to the CNN news crew." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackCobra Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Another quote from our intrepid Ancient Greek (super)Heroes: We're looking at the shoulder bag dropped (ok, split off from his shoulder with lightning) by the head Cyclops who was going to attack the city but then left. Critias (a PC) is overly curious, goes over and manfully pushes open the bag (which takes something). A HUGE burst of energy blasts forth, knocking him 7 hexes in the air. We're talking about it afterwards and another character is describing it has Critias having been bathed in it's cosmic energy. Critias: "I wasn't bathed with the energies of the universe, I was punched in the face by the energies of the universe." -------------- We later visit the Oracle at Delphi, which prompts the discussion of what we'd buy from the souvenir vendors outside the temple. We settle on the ever-popular ancient quote from another campaign which also involved talking to the Oracle: "I talked to the Oracle at Delphi, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

Narratio Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The detective walked up to the board that controlled the magical nuke which was getting set to detonate. Clues to the password had been littered all over the place as being odd quotes from Terry Pratchett's work. All they had to do now was, using an ouiji board like coded panel, enter the pass word. "What's the password you enter?" I ask with a smile "Swordfish" says he. "Why's that?" "It's always Swordfish." Says he, "Pratchett said so." The crater is about a mile wide and 200 meters deep. I glows a pretty greeny blue at night. The password was writen on the underside of the board if they'd not obtained it from one of twenty other locations and it was "Pratchett". But now, whenever a problem crops up, the question is "What did Pratchett say about xxxxxxxxx?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... In our Infiniteens game, Striking Tiger has just found a woman on the ground, surrounded by broken glass. She asks the GM how badly the woman is hurt. GM: Do you have Paramedics? Striking Tiger: *looks at her sheet* Of course I don't have it. I'm a martial artist! I give people hurt, not take it away! Much later, the main group discovers a house in a flood zone, lit up as if the residents are home. We approach, and Striking Tiger is blasted by Stormfront, who's in the process of robbing the home. The flyers take potshots at him, but Brick is waist-deep in floodwater when a lightning bolt hits. He falls unconscious, and Striking Tiger pulls him onto a table to get him out of the water before he's hurt even worse. Singirl, meanwhile, follows Stormfront, who summons up a tornado to cover his escape. Singirl: Hey! Come back here! We have some things we need to clear up! *pause* Get it? Clear? Weather? Meanwhile, Brick has just groggily awoken, and a near-panicked Striking Tiger realizes they're right in the path of the tornado. She tells him it's time to go. Brick replies, fully in character, "Huh?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remjin Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... All right, haven't posted here in awhile, but here goes. Tonight's game was a series of one-person asides as to eventually culminate to an end, most of which was done in another room. So, not a lot of direct character quotes... and there is a bit of paraphrasing to include previous conversations to make it sound more complete. ************* GM: You have to excuse her. I @#%!-blocked her attempts at chaos. ************* Linette Woods, Hot Cheerleader: Evan, you have to help me! I'll do anything! (ooc) Ah crap, that's not that right, it just goes every wrong way... uh... dangit, how do I say that better? GM: Umm.. how about "I need you." It plays to his psychological limitations, which you would know, since you would know how to manipulate him. Another player, OOC: ...because you're such a b@#$%. Linette: (ooc) ah, right, that's perfect. "Evan, I need you!" ************* Linette discovers she has stretching powers as her arms grows longer, her fingers keep stretching out, and Evan is now holding up rubbery and flapping fingers. *SCREAMS* "I'm melting!" Incredibly, no references to the Wizard of Oz or witches or anything. ************* GM: When I randomly rolled for your powers, (directed at Linette's player) I laughed for five minutes when I got stretching. You, playing a hot cheerleader, with stretching powers... Linette (ooc): So, you're saying you won't be surprised when I use my butt cheeks as wings? ************* I can't remember all the character names, so forgive me... Linette (ooc): Well, maybe a leotard will help me keep my normal shape. Flashdance attire is back in style, right? I'll wear a leotard with those leg warmers, and maybe a skirt and some sort of top with it. (Rapier) Playing a professional bowler/Radio Shack employee: There is no way I'm going to end up in tights. I've got a reputation to maintain. ************* (SpunkyKiKi) playing a highschool snowboarder/rebel: You have stretching and no control... your breasts must be like udders... ************* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Players were giving our neophyte GM some ribbing for the fact that we were surprised in a forest by medium and large creatures, but when my Monk ran off a tiny creature I was able to see it disappear into the distance at 60 ft. Doniir: "It's okay, I'm short-sighted." Our Gunmage and Sorcerer -er, Wizard, confront another wizard who's been following us around. He paid for a private room aboard an air ship and our Gunmage just offered double to the captain who accepted. Gunderson: "Why do you follow us?" Mage: "You are all so interesting, you go to interesting places." Scykle: "Right, like this room. Get out." Mage attempts to cast suggestion but both make their saves. Mage: "This will not go unrequitted!" New party member. A necromancer (my LG monk is ...concerned) who has a spear with a decaying human skull on it. Necromancer OOC: "Why am I with these guys again? I mean I clearly make them uncomfortable." Gunmage OOC: "We like you better than that other mage." Me: "Right, you are a rather overt necromancer who was originally on this plate to seek employment with the Crixians (Necromantic Baddies from Iron Kingdoms) and that bastard saved our lives!"
