CrosshairCollie Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... An old one from the FASA Star Trek game (Classic/Original Series). I wound up playing the Captain. My future wife is playing the Vulcan XO. We trace some anomalous energy readings to a planet and, in true classic Trek manner, order the entire senior staff (aka the PCs) to the transporter room. Now, as I'm guessing most of you know, the captain is not supposed to go on away teams, to say nothing of the general stupidity of beaming down the entire command crew. So, tactfully, the XO remarks, "Captain, is it wise for the entire bridge crew to beam down at the same time?" obviously hinting that my butt should stay in the command chair. My response? "You are, of course, correct. You stay here and mind the store." I then hit the turbolift before she could raise an objection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You are, of course, correct. You stay here and mind the store." I then hit the turbolift before she could raise an objection. Good one. Have GMed FASA Trek a few times. My approach in my biggest campaign was to have each Player generate three completely separate characters - a senior officer, a junior officer (in a different department / section), and a shuttlejock. Then we would just "mix and match" for different landing parties and situations, that way nearly everybody got a chance to be "in charge" at one time or another. It worked extremely well. It also enabled me to drop a few good surprises on them. Like the time bad guys render the crew unconscious and take over the ship (happens at least a couple of times in every series). The shuttlejocks are all in their lounge in an overlooked corner of the ship, and it is up to them to save the day (given their skills tended towards basic when it came to stuff not involving shuttles, this made it interesting).

Probably wouldn't have worked with this lot. I was the Captain because, quite literally, nobody else wanted to play the guy in charge.

Drhoz Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Hollywood! Where once stood only orange groves, now the very stuff of dreams is made real and given to the adoring crowds - the crowds that worship these gods and goddesses of the silver screen, unknowing that behind the scenes these very gods are the puppets of higher powers, all immersed in the maelstrom of drugs, alcohol, debauchery and illegal sex. And looming over it all, their very own cyclopean ruins - the vast, 10-storey, mile-long Babylon set from Intolerance. Hollywood, 1928 - Five employees of the Warner Brothers studio become involved in something strange, even for Hollywood - strange, and altogether nightmarish Purrdence : "Mary Pickford - she was the Angelina Jolie of her day. Without the kids." Drhoz GM : "Just as well it only rains 5 days a week in Hollywood... er, five days a year." Josh : Yes, I was wondering when Los Angeles became Seattle. Purrdence : "Must have been that earthquake" The evening after the first day's filming, the group decide take a break from their severe misgivings about the film, to go visit the refurbished set Gunter Smits (prop maker PC) : "Come, come, I have a massive erection to show you" Drhoz, GM : "Has Zanuck's Over-compensation Complex become contagious?" Drhoz, GM : "Gunter, Zanuck also want you to build a machine to spray the extras with fruit juice. To give them an appropriately Biblical skin tone. Hey, they have to something with all those oranges." Celia Chamber's player *checking her character sheet* : "What skill does 'Rolling a Doobie' come under?" John Ford-Welham ( PC Actor ) *getting defensive about not joining in the drunken, drugged shenanigans* : "Hey, I drink. I do cocaine. I just didn't want any weed, alright?" John hears something snuffling around outside the prop shed, and sticks his head out the window to see what it is Drhoz, GM : "Well, that's interesting - they're drinking, but you're the one seeing pink elephants" The rest of the party stagger out to see what he's up to. Drhoz, GM : "You see John Ford-Welham stalking a pink elephant through the ruins of Babylon." Zanuck expects the actors to do publicity interviews for Photoplay and the other fan zines Press : " ...and what's this we hear about a possible romance between you and Mr Douglas?" Celia Chamber, monotone : "Yes, there is a certain love interest between me and whatsisname" Press : "What's it like working with the talented Hungarian import, sir?" Mark Douglas, male lead PC : "Mr Curtiz is a very fine director - totally professional" GM as Curtiz, screaming abuse at the extras : "Chins! Beards go on chins!" Mark Douglas : "This is going to be an Epic - a really great movie." GM as Curtiz : "Shit-for-brains!" Film culminates in the flooding of the set. 15,000 tonnes of water is dumped in, without warning the extras. This actually happened, in real life, as did most of the other bizarre aspects I used in this game. Gunter is up at the reservoir, trying to forestall disaster by sabotaging the sluice gates. Gunter, trying to smash the mechanism with a pipe wrench : "I thought there was a cockroach" Half the party is already insane and lost in identity confusion (leaving players playing actors playing characters but who now think they actually are the characters - it was that sort of situation, and starting to go a bit metaphysical). Still coherent and able to separate the Dreamlands from what is laughably called Reality, but stuck on a rapidly flooding and collapsing set, that is simultaneously the DOOMed city of Sarnath, surrounded by hundreds of screaming extras, a horde of ghosts, and a Great Old One, John stands his ground. John Ford-Welham : "I'm going to act my ass off in this scene. Because it may well be the last thing my ass does." Ran a bit overtime, but a lot of that can be put down to the players being helpless with laughter at the image of Great Old Ones on roller-skates - XanaDOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... To make a long story short, while assaulting an alien ship (let me repeat myself to make things clear, AN. ALIEN. SHIP), the GM asks the mystic for his action. He says, "I magesight the ship to see if there's anything magical on board." This actually stopped the game as the GM stared at the player in disbelief. So "I magesight the alien ship" became our codephrase for "that's a really stupid action." That hardly strikes me as stupid.
