AndrewD2 Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... New events from my D&D game: So we find these steps, climb them for a couple hours get to the top and leave the room, and they disappear. We fight these giant devil critters that almost kills off the group. After we find the key to leave the area we enter a room and the wall opens up to a 2 headed Kolbald (lizard type thing) each head having a name tag: Ben and Jerry. They told us we were in an entertainment complex. After all that, we could have just left. When asked where we wanted to go (they were elevator operators) no one was quite sure and our anthepamorphic (I can't spell) cat said, "All right where's the bar" The kobalds response "Very good sir" and that ends our session for the week. After all this me and DM go out to eat at Applebee's and this coversation proceeds. Me: Dan I knew you wanted a couple of people out of the game and were thinking about starting Dragon*Star, but did you really have to try to kill us all off now?

BcAugust Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... As I'm discussing one character's alternate personality, and manage to tell him something he doesn't know(alternate personality being under my control), the remark from the other player. " I feel so ignorant, yet so blessed in my ignorance." Later on, discussing fun. R: " No, it's called entertaining the GM, it ensures you have a higher chance for survival, but it also allows them to have fun" W "I let you have fun, don't I Bc?" Me: "Oh, yes. Jake is just more... stable, then Kenji is. It's like playing with legos versus playdoh." R: So Kenji is edible and Jake is fun to play with glue around?

Kirby Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Well, my San Angelo: City of Heroes campaign was kickstarted today. My players basically created their characters and we ran a mock-combat to test how effective they were in that area. The two PCs (one player wasn't unable to make it) were built on 350 points, but under the 250 limits. Anyway, I ran them up against Obsidian and Quatum from BBB. They took out Obsidian before Turn 1 was even over, but Quatum was tougher. I randomly rolled Quantum's attacks, and with one she entangled the character Shadow. Shadow's Player (female): Did [the entangle] do any BODY, or did she just bloomp me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netzilla Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... These are from our last bi-weekly Saturday superhero game: The group is searching for a magical gateway wherein an important NPC may be hiding. One of the group mages (yes, we've got 2 on a superhero team), Kendrick, has been there, but it was over 1000 years ago, so he doesn't remember exactly where it is. Ghost Hunter: How come you magic types never write stuff like this down? Kendrick: Hey, that's a good idea. ============ Solar, nuclear physicist and walking atmoic reactor, is having problems changing back into his super ID. The rest of the team is trying to help him out: Ghost Hunter: Have you ever thought scientifically about how you became Solar in the first place? Solar: Yes, it's quite impossible. ============ In the previous game, we'd been attacked by a Qliphothic beast. This time, we're being attacked by a pack of demons. After getting the description: Ghost Hunter's player: So, this is a much more normal demon. ============ Solar, in human form and with no time to change, is about to be attacked by a demon: One of the other players: Abort to Desolid! Solar's player: A fine red mist is Desolid, right? ============ SCUBA may be able to remember some others.

paigeoliver Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Player's are trying to track down a stolen vehicle that is related to a plot concerning the molemen (Subterrans), Jennifer Lopez, and Foxbat. The molemen are very well known for operating UNDERGROUND. The player's are able to get the exact longitude and lattitude of the van from the recovery tracking system. They go there, and it is in the middle of the woods, with nothing around, and nothing looks disturbed. The Batman character has spend some time searching the ground for signs of disturbance and digging. After looking for a long while the team speedster pipes in "I just thought of something, maybe it is underground?" Which was of course obvious to all the other characters and players. Of course from there the characters get a backhoe and start digging and PREDICTABLY fall into the underground cave, backhoe and all (someone won't be getting their backhoe rental deposit back).

red_eagle123 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The character has a Hero ID and a Secret ID. The change is from smart nerdy super-brain Fiona with no social skills to blonde bimbo super powered form Ginger (Aka Beauty Queen). When the player wrote the origin story, it was hinted at the end that she needed certain stimuli to initiate the change. Since then the player and the rest of the group has made it a running gag. Btw, before anyone assumes the worse, the player is a married 40 year old woman. My fiancee at age 27 is the youngest player in the group.

tancred Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Our group is using an experimental usage-based experience system. Each player gets credit for using a skill (or trying one they don't have). Each session, every player tries to make sure I notice (type up) every use of every skill they use. So last session in Post-Apocalyptic HERO, one of the characters is hit in location 13 FOUR times in a row! The player turns to me at the end of the session and says, "I use my 'Scream-Like-A-Girl' skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incrdbil Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Well, its not a quote, but a reaction, but here goes. Game set, post apocalyptic--about 150 years after a limited nuclear exchange. Characters are assisting a scientist doing background radiation readings for the area their group will be working in. The 2 characters are products of limited genetic engineering--their lifespan has been estimated to be about 200 to 300 years. This project was secret, so the two characters hadn't shared this information in gnereral. (This was a 'free' Perk the characters were so excited to get) the scietist finished his study and announced, in a joking manner. "Well, good news and bad news: the background radiation count is still elevated, but on the bright side, its not enough to be really harmful, unless you plan to live to be 200 or something." while the other PC's are pretty happy and smiling, the other two just beat their heads into the table.

Hypnotoad, the Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Okay, I have two for the week. The first one is from a Champions game, in which VIPER tried to level the Millenium City PD. At the same time, seven smaller lightly armed groups went around to two banks, and a host of tech companies, to rob them blind, hoping that the local heroes wouldn't learn of it until they had gotten away from them. What they didn't know is that there was an UNTIL deep cover agent in their midst, who ended up telling us about the other crimes as he was parachuted in with the rest of the low level agents. After the UNTIL backup came alone, the heroes split up and took down the other crimes in progress. Afterward, Jade, my martial arts freak, gave the news agencies the sound bite they needed for what ended up being the total humiliation of VIPER that night: "Damn! I broke a nail." The other one happened in Gamephil's "Always Darkest" game. We thought we had taken down this really bad dude in a surprise phase, and it turned out that it was all an illusion. So a couple of us ran away. Unfortunately, the place we were on was small. So, we passed by the same place again and again. My character finally stopped, but the other one kept running...and passing by us. So we asked... "When are you going to stop running?" "When it stops being funny."

Kirby Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... We just started off my San Angelo campaign today and there are two good quotes from it. The first was when the heroes (Phoenix, brick, male, and Shadow, energy projector, female) were at an Orion Labs testing building. They had surprised the criminals, Ogre (CKC version), Icicle (BBB 250 pts), and Shrinker (BBB 250 pts). Phoenix had just finished doing a move through on Ogre, knocking both of them through the building's wall and out into the parking lot. Icicle and Shadow were shooting at each other, but couldn't hit each other. Shrinker was flying in miniature form and no one had spotted her, yet. She took a pot shot at Shadow, who then communicated to Phoenix about the situation. Shadow: Phoenix, I need some help, there's two of them in here! Phoenix: (Still fighting Ogre) Learn to dodge. A day later, the two have salvaged a drive-by shooting. Contacting other members of Freedom Squad, Phoenix learns that the guys he saved are a Vietnamese gang leader Trung Binh Do and his personal driver (Yuwei Han). Phoenix tries to get in good (and hasn't yet revealed his name to the NPCs here) with the gang leader ("I scratch your back, you scratch mine" kind of thing) but hands him a business card. Since Phoenix and Shadow are provisional members, their "cards" have the blank line where they write their names. Phoenix hands his card to Trung Binh Do. Trung Binh Do: (Pretending a bad accent) Who you be: P-Ho-Enix? What you do: Vietnamese computers? The player of Shadow busted out laughing as she started calling the player of Pheonix "P-Ho."

Samuraiko Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... This is not something I said, but something I WISH I'd said (I had no idea that either of my GMs would have actually LIKED me making this comment). Our Champions group is about to encounter the Zodiac group on the roof of some tall building in Millennium City (if you have The Zodiac Conspiracy you know the rough scenario). We arrive singly (or in the case of Gekko and Soldier, in tandem), and Midnight, my teleporting martial-arts/mentalist, teleports up onto the roof from three floors below. Unfortunately for me, I botch the Teleportation roll, but I do make a really nice Acrobatics roll... So here are most of the PCs up on the roof (along with three or four of the villains), when a swirling black mist appears out of nowhere about six feet up, and somersaulting out of it comes a masked woman in a black bodysuit, black trenchcoat, and black hat, who looks around as she lands, and immediately vanishes again in a black mist (I'd actually just gone invisible for a chance to assess the situation). What I'd wanted to say? "Sorry, wrong roof." Michelle aka Samuraiko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfessorM@ss Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I finally have a quote worthy of mentioning. My superhero gaming group was facing off with a magician who had these magical orbs hovering around his head, each one having a different set of powers. The team's most agile character, a sword-bearing she-devil (can you say 'Red Sonja?'), decided to try to relieve him of the orbs. Now, when I described these orbs, I said they were "like tiny little balls of crackling energy, floating around his head. You can, however, see the metal underneath the energy, so they're solid." She leaps. Makes her Acrobatics roll. Makes her Strength roll to pull two of them from his telekinetic field. I say, "Okay, you succeeded. Now what?" She exclaims: "I take his balls and run!" Her boyfriend, who also games with us, sighs and says, "Why is this starting to feel familiar?" Hilarity ensued. --->M@ss Koshka and SCUBA Hero 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
