Guest Major Tom Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Maybe not a fragging, but a low-power EB or a sledgehammer-augmented Gibbs-slap upside the head would be slightly appropriate.

Vulcan Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Every so often my players will wander well off course, to the point that they're in danger of loosing track of the plot. Usually I just let them go with it, as long as I can wing something (until the plot they lost track of comes back to bite them...). But sometimes I can't, so the players come upon a pond, or river, or fish tank, and I tell them... "You see some little red fish in the water. They look sorta like herrings..."

Egyptoid Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Marvel Galaxies StarFox jets off without the team with one of the Katana Girls to post-apocalyptic San Francisco, just to settle a bet. High Evo: I hope StarFox doesn't do anything stupid while alone with that girl. ================================== Later there's a huge fight. Main enemy is a space-born energy projector, a great flyer. Earth-bound Hercules desperately wants to punch this bad guy. so He asks the telekinetic for help: Hercules: "Toss me." Magnetix: "What?" Hercules: "I cannae jump the distance, you'll have to toss me! Oh — don't tell Star-Fox." Magnetix: "Not a word." ================================== Later Hercules is blinded for a long long time. The bad guy Energy Projector is laying stunned on the ground somewhere nearby. This guy has star-based powers, and so has been radiating heat (eb), light (flash), and radiation (transform) all over, in a big radius around himself, all afternoon. His body is as hot as star-matter, and its laying there melting the dirt. Hercules needs to land a deathblow with his mace, but laments his blindness. High Evo: Aim for the hissing sound ! ================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreBrute Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Och, the haggis was well and truly in the fire for this group... I have to wonder, though, if some of the group's members were sorely tempted to have Hamish experience a "friendly fire" incident. Major Tom Im not sure switching on the light warrants a fragging... Oh trust me this was only the tip of the iceberg. By the end of it, we would have blasted him to shreds if he wasn't our form of transport (Group teleportation). And I'm talking OOC. He has left the group though, so now we hope we can get these new guys to join and stick to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remjin Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... We're introducing my 9 year old daughter to roleplaying via D&D 4E, and there have been more than a few quotes that I thought were funny... When encountered with halfling guards to the nearby swamp village while on a diplomatic mission, we are asked by the guards why they should allow us to see their chief... Cynthia(PC name) OOC: I know what I want to say now... "SURRENDER NOW OR I'LL BURN YOU WITH MY WITCHFIRE!" ************************************** While fighting in a dungeon, she has just chopped a guard drake with her axe, finishing it. "Yay, I ended its life!" ************************************** Cynthia dies, prompting some sadness from her. She perks up as she starts erasing madly, "I know, I'll just change her name!" ************************************** She gets frustrated about something, and smacks her fist into the table... "darnit!... OW! ow ow ow ow ow ow ow... that hurt..." ************************************** Suffice it to say there have been more than a few classic moments here and its been a pretty funny ride. I can't remember them all, but these are some of the more easily described... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to wonder, though, if some of the group's members were sorely tempt- ed to have Hamish experience a "friendly fire" incident. Major Tom I tried but rolled badly. He got singed with hellfire but teleported away before my 18d6 AOE explosion hit . He spent most of each fight putting his guts back in (He had 50 STUN, 10 BODY and practically no defenses).

AliceTheOwl Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Both of these were from the final installation of the Via Legacy campaign. (We're moving. Maybe there'll be reunions at future Dragon*Cons, or something.) Briar, OOC during the catching-up of an NPC: "I want to know why NPCs get so much more information than I do as a PC."

Egyptoid Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... this Necronomicon stuff is funny unless you have someone in your gaming group who cannot pronounce any foreign or esoteric words at all. We have two people in our group who role-play well enough, but if a word comes up that's not basic english: Botch! . . . mental block.Sometimes its so difficult, because no flavor text, no place name, and no unusual NPC name is safe. Sometimes it drags the game down its so bad... Firenza = Frenzy Nyarlathotep = Nathereltep Lothlorien - Latheranden Tutankhamun = Touch-con Kazakhstan = Kazakistand etc. etc. I wish I was making this up. Wrong even if they've heard three other people pronounce the word correctly that evening....I wish I could come up with a funny quote to keep this on topic but its just sad. Okay - rant mode off - back to thread topic. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer84 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Okay tonight was Conan night. The Party: Valarias: Nobleman/soldier of Corinthia Athicus: Soldier of Corinthia Feng: Scholar from the east Busec: Plains Nomad Zum: islander barbarian We were following Busec because his goddess Ishtar kept telling him his love was in the west. Follow the Setting Sun. After a few days we arrive in a forest. Feng has been unhappy with this from the start. He keeps telling us that the beautiful female voice Busec hears is a witch and we should be weary. OOC I make comment about finding a gingerbread house. Finally we burst into a clearing and find a great big stone house, along with Busec's Stolen (tethered outside the house with a few other horses) Feng: This is the witch's hut! GM: "Outside the door of the hut you see a cougar." Athicus (ooc): A cat or an older woman looking for younger men? * * * Earlier, Feng checks knowledge: religion to find out about Ishtar GM: its a limited area religion with some orgiastic rituals Athicus and Valarias: "We convert!" * * * After the witch surrenders (And Valarias knocks her unconscious) we go check on Feng, who was shot by an enscorcelled Busec. Busec rushes into the hut. As the plainsman comes out Valarias says, "Okay, we'll force her to heal Feng and Zum and then take her to the next town." Busec looks nervous, "She controlled my mind, had me shoot a brother in arms...I extracted justice." Valarias: "You killed her?" Busec: "Justice is very complicated where I come from."
