Vulcan Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... That sounds a bit like the crew of the General Armstrong in a (very short) campaign our group played. Several of us started late, and we were confused as to why the GM had asked us to make JAG officers... until we got to the transporter room to beam aboard. Several of the Armstrong's crew were on the pads with a 'borrowed' photon torpedo. While in dock, someone from the crew staged 'workbee races' around the dock and took bets among the technical staff. And someone spraypainted "Kirk SUCKS!" across the secondary hull of the Enterprise while it was in refits. The captain of the Armstrong organized a work party to clean it off - from the crew of the Constellation, who he got blamed for the graffiti. Yes, it was the delinquent crew-from-hell, led by the first group of players, that we were here to investigate. But they only stole from other ships - the Armstrong routinely had double it's usual supply of spare parts, and twenty shuttles from eight different ships - plus the 12 assigned to it. Then we found out the ship had an informal 'finance officer'... to manage their black market profits. We eventually reccomended the entire crew of the Armstrong be sent to the Star Fleet equivalent of exile in Sibera. They told us that the Armstrong effectivly was their equivalent of exile to Sibera. And now we were assigned to her... Eventually, the Kingons learned to fear our presence at the Neutral Zone. And it was rumored after our one (and only) patrol on the Romulan border that the Romulans tried to cloak their entire empire against our possible return. Not so much from our battle prowess, but from economic damage inflicted by the delinquent crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weldun Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Quotes from tonight's L5R game. Our Tsutuchi Bounty Hunter: These are Crane peasants. Only the best fleas for them! Me: I could have played a Matsu, but then I would be playing a raving psychopath. GM: No. The Deathseekers aren't raving psychopaths. Me: True. I wouldn't be raving. Looking at a castle's floor plan, we notice that the interior walls get thicker every level up you go, with the bottom floor's interior walls being rice-paper screens. Me: It's load-bearing rice-paper. Me: Hang on. You're casting a spell that only hurts the bad guys? Who are you, and what have you done with our bang mage?

Mindscape Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From last night game, The Legionaries (Our Pulp Game). Our Pilot/Flying Ace got invited to join the army of Sky Master (a world threatening villian) but instead of taking the postion of third he challenged the second in command for his position. While the rest of us remained on the Sky Master's flying fortress, they took two planes out and prepared for a dogfight. Rex (our Pilot) :As soon as we pass each other turn straight up and get ready to come at him from above. Rex and GM roll for Combat Piloting since this trick is difficult to do in the planes they are flying. GM: Ok you pull up and glance back in the direction he was headed and you see that he had the same idea. What did you beat your roll by? Rex: 10. GM: You beat his roll by a lot so you are actually able to get right behind his plane. Rex opens fire with the dual front mounted guns of the plane and rolls a six with the guns which have 5 shot autofire. GM: The plane drops like a rock:nonp:...In the first phase of combat you beat a guy that is built with almost 100 points more than you. Rex: Alright now to see if I can bring that airship down so the rest of the guys can get away. Meanwhile on the airship, my character (a fearless explorer and the only other member of the group with piloting skills) is watching the dual from the flightdeck while under guard. Race (my character): Well, seems my friend managed to handle your commander quite nicely. So, I assume that our plane is refueled and we can leave as soon as he lands. Guard: No, in fact Sky Master ordered us to drain the rest of the fuel. He says you are not allowed to leave until he has a word with your friend. Race: I guess we'll have to do this the hard way. A fight between my character and the guard insues while the rest of the group tries to reclaim our weapons. Race: Well now that he is out of the picture I just have to find the fuel tanks and we can make good our escape. GM: Rex, what are you shooting at? Rex: Well probably the fuel tanks since I don't know that our plane has no fuel. Blowing those up would do the most damage. GM: You see Rex headed straight for the duel tanks, both guns blazing. Race:...Guess I have to glide our plane down to the water, that shouldn't be to hard...right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Why can't they make this into a series? To be fair, I've got to give the credit for this one to the guy playing the captain of the General Armstrong, Joe Sullivan. The whole thing was his idea and he petty much derailed the whole campaign with it. But it was great fun anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just once, for the novelty value! Dragonborn: Tactics for us just involves shouting at each other and comparing body-counts. The dragonborn has been injured and is bleeding profusely. He keeps trying to give himself first aid, but his rolls are less than stellar: Tiefling: Hey dragon-boy, if you keep picking at it like that, it'll never heal!
