Pariah Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The ships are attacked by a bunch of undead drowned sailors. As the battle gets underway, the iPod, playing random music in the background, starts playing "Thriller." Yllek: Why does *this* song always come on when we're fighting undead? My group's preferred song for fighting undead was 'Change my pitch up' date=' smack my Liche up.'[/quote'] A couple of weeks ago, when it looked like we'd be spending the entire gaming session fighting a voodoo priestess and her...er, conscripts, Lord Mhoram put on Jonathan Coulton's "Re: Your Brains".

BlackCobra Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from Heracles' Children: The First Age game Critias has been talking to the Big Bad Guy, negotiating. Pelorios: "So why aren't you kicking him yet?" Critias: "Because ... we're still at the talky stage?" ----------------------- The Big Bad Guy (BBG), leader of an Okia [Viper] nest, is talking about the henchmen of another (much more evil) bad guy. Lord Fraxas (BBG): "They're fit." Critias: "Fit?! Men who I stab with my spear repeatedly and who don't fall down afterwards? More than fit!" ------------------------ Don't remember the speaker, but the remark was made in response to one of the PCs visiting the estate of one of the Lords of Thebes. And he's quite the partier. "What happens on Lord Cassius' estate, stays on Lord Cassius' estate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Celt Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Me and my friends play Rock Band together regularly (isn't that a gaming group?) and I've added a verb to the lexicon. I was singing along to some song or another where the singer ranges higher in octaves than I can reach without some Slim Whitman notegrabbers. Me: "I keep forgetting to Goulet that song." (came up with this as a verb on the spur to describe dropping down to a lower range instead of higher range I can't reach. Rock band only cares about being on tune) Pup: "What?!" Me: "Goulet.

jtelson Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Friday's Heracles' Children game (The last for the next few weeks as we reached the end of the Confessions of a Dangerous Mime arc, the Mrs. and I are going on vacation soon, and BlackCobra's making noises about field testing DnD 4th) Critias is negotiating with Lord Phraxus the head of Ochia (essentially Viper) in Thebes for the return of Terramisus (A powerful Heraclidae Villian that Ochia had captured and is bleeding to make potions that will convert people into supers). Phraxus agrees to turn him over to our heroes when Lydos reminds Critias that there are other things they need from Ochia (Namely notes on improving the potions stolden by Lydos' rescently former student). Critias looks annoyed and then Critias: That no one's trying to kill me is really throwing me off my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The Infiniteens (Teen Champions) reconvene: Brick describes his evening activities, which include some online surfing. He describes the types of sites he's visiting. Crouching Tiger chimes in, OOC, "Not looking at porn? What kind of teenage boy are you?" Singirl and Striking Tiger find a badly-injured comrade. Singirl, the teenage succubus, who wears basically a bikini for her costume, realizes they need bandages. She looks at her outfit, then says, to Striking Tiger, "Can we borrow some fabric from your costume?" Brick is attempting to disable a jamming device. The GM makes some rolls, then declares, "Boom." He rolls some more. Striking Tiger sighs, and says, "Oh, Calculator, how I hate you." (Calculator is the now-villain who left the device behind.) Singirl, as the most scientifically-minded (and least squeamish), gives Candle all the treatment she knows how, floundering her way through awful bedside manner, bickering, and generally being flustered. After Candle is finally well under the effects of morphine, she sighs and declares, "Okay, cross that one off the potential career paths." Singirl delivers a message to the family of the deceased. While she's there, the deceased's son offers her a glass of chocolate milk. It has too much chocolate syrup, and it looks a mess. Singirl's character declares she drinks it, with the word blurb, "That's fine; I'm a demon." Later, in the middle of combat, Singirl remarks, "I'm going to rule that luxuriating under the shower counts as a recovery." Striking Tiger explains the miniatures' movements on the hex map: "No, the ninja is just kicking the shrinky-dink." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonewalker Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from our Chronicles of the Agency campaign: During our recap... GM: After your individual missions were completed... Rocket Ranger: They weren't so much completed as called off... Mighty Huntress: Yeah, on account of explosion. As Rocket Ranger begins our descent into the landing bay of the Skymaster's zeppelin... Rocket Ranger: Seatbelts, tray tables, yadda-yadda-yadda... Mighty Huntress gets from flying lessons from Rocket Ranger... Mighty Huntress: When do I get to do the loop-to-loop stuff? Rocket Ranger: Once we're inside the zeppelin. In the middle of our strafing run through the Skymaster's hanger bays... Clubber: What we need here are bombs! Really mess up the hanger bay. Mighty Huntress: Hey, there's lots of gasoline here! We could set a fire! Rocket Ranger: Let's do that on our way OUT. After our plane is riddled with machinegun fire, ripping the aircraft to shreds... Havoc: What is this crate made of? Plywood? The Skymaster's soldiers arrive to defend the hanger bays... Mighty Huntress: Oh-oh, there's more guards! Rocket Ranger: I got 'em. Havoc: All of them?? Rocket Ranger: Um, no, not really... Clubber opens up with his machinegun to dissuade the advancing guards... Clubber (OOC): I'll try a little heads-down fire. I hit an 10 DCV. GM: You hit one of the guards! Havoc (OOC): That's really effective heads-down fire...taking out heads and stuff. As we race from the battle in the hanger bay, trying to find the bridge... Havoc: Which stairway do we want to use? Mighty Huntress: We want to go down the stairs that go up! Huntress gets confused as to who our enemies are... Mighty Huntress: It's okay to shoot those guys - they're just Nazis. Rocket Ranger: They're not Nazis. They're sky pirates! Mighty Huntress: Whatever! They have lightning bolts on their jackets and they're wearing black. They're close enough to Nazis for me! Rocket Ranger remembers his gadget-based advantages... Havoc: Guys, let's get going - there's a lot of stairs to climb! Rocket Ranger: Whadiya mean 'climb'? After carrying both Havoc and Clubber up several flights of stairs... Rocket Ranger (OOC): I'm changing my name from Rocket Ranger to Elevator Man. After passing the seventh or eighth level of the Skymaster's zeppelin... Mighty Huntress (OOC): How many floors does this thing have? Clubber (OOC): It's a dungeon crawl...IN THE SKY!! Best taken out of context... Clubber (OOC): Since it's handy, I'll tap on the door with my immense gun barrel. Enjoy! Lonewalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(She dragged poor Pete up eight flights of stairs before finally throwing him at another goon...) Great idea. We went one better in Bismark's Valdorian Age game. Nearly every time we battled bandits we'd keep one as a servant. The first of these was a man whom one of the female characters had decided to let go after cutting of his thumbs as an object lesson in the consequences of messing with gritty Sword and Sorcery heroes. My character offered him a job as a minion, on the condition that he would be renamed 'Thumbsie' and would dance for any children that we met. Thumbsie was eventually promoted from disposable meat shield to horse-holder after managing to face a monster without running away and even surviving a blow from it. The second servant was called 'Drooler' because he was employed/owned by a Comeliness 20 Brewmistress. I think he got promoted as well in the end. Best drop in a quote to justify all this rambling. We weren't big on names in this campaign. Brewmistress. "Drooler. You go first." Drooler. Whimpers. Bayan. (Steppes Nomad). OOC. "Give him that little statue we found in the desecrated temple and tell him it'll protect him against the zombies, that'll give him a confidence boost." Some time later Zombie. "Uuuurgh." Reaches out to throttle Drooler. Drooler. "Aaaah!" Smacks the Zombie with the statue. Zombie explodes. Bayan and Brewmistress. "It works! Give it back! Give it back!"
