And with more Mythos lore, their maximum sanity keeps going down and down... Yes, I suspect I'm going to have to give them months of downtime anyway - that should give them the time they need to go through all the books they've 'acquired' and learn what they can. Although McGinty does horde them a bit jealously, and there's a limit to how fast Lancaster's Brain can work through the ones in Latin, etc. I've prepared handouts with excerpts of the books in question, and I'm pleased to say that the PCs are already getting conflicting information even at this early stage. *waits eagerly for the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion to come out, so I can through them into a campaign that's already some three times larger and deadlier than the original boxed set* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Tom 2009 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... *bursts into tears* The critter in this one WAS. That's one of the reasons I ran this particular adventure! Reminds me of the first time I played in a CoC game. Our PC group was checking out this old house and had split up (monumentally BAD idea), and guess who was lucky enough to find the transformed schmuck? Yep, yours truly got to run into a Thing That Man Was Not Meant To Know. Fortunately, my character was one of the better- armed characters in the party (he had a .45 auto and a double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun), and knew how to use his weapons. When the Thing started coming toward him, my character promptly opened up with everything he had, and hit with every shot (not that it was doing much good at the time). Just as he was running out of ammo, the other party members that were armed arrived and joined in, finally putting the Thing down for good. When the police showed up and began questioning the group as to what happened, my character's (understandably shaky) response was something along these lines: "That psycho started coming at me, so I opened up on him with everything I had -- a full clip from the .45, both barrels of the shotgun -- and that son of a ***** just kept right on coming."

Balabanto Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Today, Freedom Strike had a recruiting drive. Eiko is in semi-retirement and the team needs some new blood. Eiko is not present, but has left Gummy Eiko on the desk to make programmed sarcastic comments. Captain Unity: Let's discuss our weaknesses. We all know what we can do. Let's talk about our weaknesses. Inertia: If it's got a gravity generator, I can do anything with it. Gummy Eiko: Don't talk about my boobs that way. ------------------------------------------------------- Captain Unity: So we need mentalism and speed. Inertia: Give us a drugged out mentalist and we're good! -------------------------------------------------------- During the recruitment drive, each team member is asked for a comment. Ember doesn't have a comment, she's the reporter. Inertia chose not to comment. Captain Unity: We're just asking for new members to replace the ones we lost, and we're hoping to find a good fit. Romula (Wolf turned human girl): Arf Later: Romula: Ember, you misquoted me! ----------------------------------------------------------- Finally, close to the end of the evening, the villain Bodito Boditay has created a villain named Replikar who has all their powers. Replikar: Where is Eiko Takashima? I long to possess her intelligence. Inertia: I'm sorry. You're going to have to be as dumb as the rest of us.

Cast: The crew of the Iron Mike Tyson (jump tug property of Rinky Dink Cargo Haulers, Inc.) Captain Douglas Reginald Archibald Grant Count Akira den Ulrike Esther Okavango Jenni Phan Akira makes a roll: "I got 6 Degrees of failure." Jenni wins at gambling: "It's a good thing cyberarms don't get repetitive stress injuries from raking in all of these pots." GM: "5P4-E (a.k.a. 'Sparky') tugs on Jenni's sleeve." Jenni (OOC): "What? Akira fell down the well?" Esther is less than enthused about getting off of the ship: "This is an order... isn't it Captain?" GM: "His name is John... John... Big-Booty." Akira (OOC): "BigbooTAY!" Captain Douglas: "We need to collect payment from Mister Big-Buttocks before he dies." Jenni (OOC) questions Captain Douglas's qualifications: "How many combat drops is that for you, Captain?"
