Susano Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Character creation I've been online way too long. I can't tell if that's a disgusting concept or awesome. Snot-man was a Wild Cards joker. But he just dripped masses of mucus. Then he became infected by Typhoid Croyd and became the Reflector... one of the most powerful aces ever. How powerful? He was hit by and subway train and absorbed it's kinetic energy, leaving it sitting on the tracks. Reflector was unharmed and walked away with so much absorbed energy the rest arced from his body to the third rail. No idea ow strong he was... but someone did some mental math and decided to run away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost-angel Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Some quotes from the game a couple weeks ago: The Heroes arrive at Mount Olympus: Enigma: “Oh f*** me!” Inertia: “Be careful saying that - these are the Greek gods. And if you see a swan – run!” A massive bolt of lighting KOs Freyja: BTL: “We’re gonna hope that was a charged item.” BTL aborts to dodge: GM: (whining) “But... But I just rolled 26 on 5d6... And it's Killing Damage!” GM: “Baba Yaga steps backwards and starts singing some sort of spell...” BTL: “Does my Flash defense help?” GM: “Her singing isn't THAT bad!” Promethean has been flashed: GM: (to Promethean) “The disembodied hands move towards you…” Promethean: (shrugs) “I'm blinded, remember?” Inertia: “What, do they snap their fingers as they come like in West Side Story?” Enigma (OOC): “I did that in the grocery store the other day…” Inertia: (OOC to BTL) “Are you doing okay?” BTL: (Very OOC) “I’m out cold, does that count?” Inertia (OOC): “Can you close the curtains? BTL’s playing Pretty Bird.” Enigma has a cylinder of Magic Suppression Rounds for her .38; which she uses on the darkness surrounding Promethean. Promethean: I'm sorry did you just attack the darkness and it went away? Built To Last: With a Magic Missile no less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matrix3 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... As far as I'm concerned - the grocery store is a captive audience and I take full advantage of that whenever possible. My friend "J" was wandering around town late one night, and while meandering through the 24 hour grocery store, noticed an empty pallet in the produce section. It was there to eventually support a box of watermelons or somesuch, but he just saw a raised area...and since all the world's a stage, he hopped up and recited Mark Antony's speech from Julius Caesar to an empty store. He then hopped down, and wandered back out onto the streets. A couple minutes later a cop car rolled up to the curb. "Were you just in the IGA reciting Shakespeare?" "Yes, I was." "...well, we got called by the night manager. Don't do it again." And the cop car pulled away. No explanation as to why he couldn't do it again, there was nobody in the store to disturb, but J decided not to bother reciting Shakespeare in the IGA again.

ghost-angel Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... People get weirded out when life it's boringly mundane I have discovered. I once performed a waltz down the chip aisle at about 0200 when shopping with my wife (sadly, she did not join in so I had to pretend I was dancing with a partner). I got applause from 2 stockers and 3 other customers when I stopped. So at least there are some people out there that appreciate a little random.

Guest Major Tom Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Re: Character creation We began creating characters for the new campaign. No exceptionally funny quotes' date=' but it did remind me of a previous character creation situation with the group's [b']munchkin[/b]. The GM reviewed the munchkin's first draft... GM: "You have Clinging, Energy Blast, Entangle, Force Field, Force Wall, Running, Stretching and Summoning in your Elemental Control. What is the common special effect that they all share?" munchkin: "They're mucous powers." (Long pause....) GM: "I am not letting you run Snot-Boy as a superhero." The battle cry for that character would most likely have been the following: Booooger!! Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom of (Shakespearean) speech! Not even remotely. The shop owner has the Right Of Refusal Of Service. Which means he can kick you off his property for no reason at all - or for reciting shakespeare on a pallet. The cop went as far as he could "hey, the shop owner says stop that. Thanks." No rights were violated. No laws were broken. The right to free speach does not mean you can say anything you want anywhere you want. It just means the government can't censor you.

Metrion (OOC): Of course not! Im not playing a Bard! ------------------ [The group has been following clues concerning an ancient Dwarven legend. For some reason, no one thought to ask the Dwarven blacksmith we know about it, even though the legend concerns a Dwarven smith. Varga: Are you busy, Master Smith? Blacksmith: No, not at the moment. Varga: Ill be back [Varga goes back to the inn and finds Metrion relaxing with the group] Varga: Are you busy? Metrion: Not too busy. What is it you need? Varga: *Hefts Metrion up over her shoulder and runs to the Blacksmith's shop* Varga: *Sets metrion down* Talk. Blacksmith: Metrion: You mean you dont travel by Barbarian? I highly recommend it!

Drhoz Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Poor start to the week - we're mostly too tired to think clearly Barbara : "I'm sitting within two feet of a chocolate cake and I can think of is colouring in the white icing with my felt-tip pens" Weldun, GM : "...and over here, Zero " Zero, OOC : "Capable of superhuman acts of cowardice" Weldun, GM : "Not so much now you have the sword" Miss Chaos OOC : "Yes, he used to be a psychic paranoid - now he's a psychic psychotic paranoid" Zero : "Could we NOT try to find the local version of Black Paladin? One is more than enough" The Edge City teams materialise at the Vasquez Rocks. Zero : "So, we're in California then. Or Vulcan." Miss Chaos : "So, we should check if it's in a guy in a rubber suit before we shoot?" Zero : "Yes, it might be some Star Trek cosplayers wandering around..." Miss Chaos : "Well in that case we DO shoot" Zero : You're not the one standing out in the desert in full-length black - I'd really appreciate it if we could find a drink soon... In a world where Alaska is part of Russia, and the US is broken into separate Union, Confederate, and Republic of Texas & California nations, having usable currency is going to be a problem. Fortunately, we have a Smith & Robard's Patented Crosstime Conveyance & Operator's Use and Maintenance Handbook ( Abridged Edition ). And yes, the 'Abridged' part of that causes us problems, such as the one we're now in, since we missed our target. Zero : "I'm checking the time machine - when can we get the hell out?" In previous weeks of Edge City 3D we've visited two Palladium settings, the Command & Conquer universe, pre-Achaean Greece ( the Hatless Continuum ), a Holy Roman-era world run by hyena women, and so on. This latest version of Earth has Napoleonic, Russian, British, and Chinese empires, a fractured United States, powerful Sweden, etc. A hour of in-character and OOC arguments about alternate history, balkanization, and military politic ensues.

Shadow Hawk Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... 4th Edition DnD. Since I wasn't the GM, I took notes. But I didn't write down everything, so I may not have gotten the players names right. We have Torm: Cleric Silver Slayer: Ranger Atolucus: Rogue Alaric: Paladin Ciaphas: Fighter Aurther: Artificer Jett: Sorcerer(?) Rhodie: Bard Magic carpet ride... GM: You fly over abandoned hamlets. Torm: Any egglets? GM: No, they were made into omlettes. Silver: Uamlets? GM: You pass over a shantytown made of rock. Torm: Ocean rocks? Aleric: Sea chanties? While on the magic carpet, a dragon attacks... GM: Aurther, make a saving throw vs. gravity. Torm: I'll try and kill him before he hits the ground. Aleric: So he doesn't suffer? Jett: No, he just needed closure. Jett: I remember this. It ended badly. Aleric wonders how Aolucus got a certain magic item... Aolucus: I sold a soul. Aleric: You sold your soul? Atolucus: No, I had a spare. Speculating on what the dragon's horde might contain GM: Why do you want a +5 codpiece? Upon slaying the dragon with a massive critical... Jett: Aleric one, dragon zero. Breaking into what we hope is the dragon's horde Aurther: Can anyone pick locks? Aleric: I can. Atolucus: I thought you were a paladin. Aleric: (Holds up war pick) After learning the dragon was keeping people prisoner to get them to sign over thier land rights... Torm: Generally, dragons don't feel the need to fill out the paperwork to take over the government. Jett: Lawful evil. Go figure. On a dragon's offer to negotiate... Jett: Thanks, but hell no. After freeing the prisoners... Aleric: A dragon run concentration camp? Torm: Yes, they're being forced to make orange juice. GM(NPC we just freed): I make a mean meal. Sloppy joes. On why Aurther wouldn't be the magic carpet pilot anymore... Ciaphas: What did Aurther do wrong? Besides landing us in the midst of the enemy? Torm: They would have killed us if they had survived the poison. Finding a group of dragons, we go into combat. The cleric feels overworked... Rhodie: I'm at negative hit points again. Torm: I work so hard...(sob) Ciaphas' horse kills a dragon... Silver: We're firing you, and keeping the horse. After defeating those dragons, we move on and find a volcano... Torm: We've got a volcano and a priest, who's the virgin? Silver: Rhodie. Rhodie: Since when? Silver: You didn't say anything about it in your character backround. Rhodie: What, I need to write my sexual exploits into my character backround? Aleric: "Dear Penthouse Forum..." The volcano has a bridge over the caldera... Jett: Of course it's trapped. Atolucus: I've got your back. Aleric: That explains the dagger. Ciaphas and Jett leave the magic carpet to check out the bridge... Ciaphas: We have a problem here. Torm: No, you have a problem, *we* have the magic carpet. Ciaphas: Napalm is the solution. Jett: There's only one monster. GM: Famous last words. A "Aspect of Tiamat" shows up... Aleric: Rule one is we don't fight gods. Torm: If Ciaphas is over there, who's steering the carpet? Ciaphas is badly injured... Aleric: You didn't need your lower intestine. Torm: Rule two is now we don't fight aspects of dieties either. Ciaphas is still down... Ciaphas: Don't heal me, he'll just knock me down again. Silver: But the dragon will kill you. Ciaphas: He won't attack me while I'm down. Silver: I don't think the evil dragon is above killing you while you're unconcious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
