Profit Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Last session. In a town where they don't like outsiders, the sorcerer decides to charm the lady at the general store in order to find out information. He finds out there is a roving bad of people who come in on full moons (werewolves) and steals money, goods, whatever. He wants to stay and fight (we are all 4th level) and his reasoning? "How bad can it be?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Tabletop Diplomacy session, from years ago, in a dorm lounge. Seven players at the table, a few other folks in other seats. "France" takes a long time looking at the board and finally says to "England", "What do you say to this. You can have Belgium, Burgundy, and a free hand against Italy, as long as I get Spain ... and Martha ["Germany"'s girl friend]." Martha, who is in the room but not in the game, looks up from her reading and stares wordlessly at the guys at the table. "Germany" spends a couple of minutes looking at the board, occasionally glancing at "France" and Martha. Finally, he says, "Deal." Martha is now staring open-mouthed. "France" gets up with a nod and takes two steps from the table towards the door. "France declares internal disorder," he says to the players. To Martha he says, "You come with me." teh bunneh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumbering Ox Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... When a game is moveing slowly from too much non game related talking, or if there is a lot of roleplaying going on and no fighting, I will often as I joke say something like. "Come on people this is Rollplaying, I haven't rolled any dice in the past hour, lets kill something" of course in jest. There was a time where the running gag was to toss the attack dice [3d6, or d20] on the table as the GM is about to speak and say, "I hit him!" We've all had encounters with players whose attitudes were not much removed from this, so we made fun like good nerds do. One fellow was noting that his character never got a chance to actually converse with any of the NPC's as they would get butchered by the other PC's before he would get a chance. He figured a typical encounter would go like "Hi I'm.... Covered in your blood" [wipes hands on shirt followed by looking at the other players with disapointment] Samuraiko 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a Martha at Boston University who was not at all hot but was quite loose (I didn't know her well enough and I was not bold enough to find out for myself). Seems the deal would have worked with her. Did you seriously expect such a deal would come to any fruition? Pardon the OT, I'm just curious, since the notion a boyfriend or even husband could promise off his mate in such an exchange is a bit, well, archaic!

James Gillen Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Long ago, my friends told me about a table game called Suburban Slasher, based on all the slasher films of the '80s. Basically you play a serial killer or movie monster and rack up points trying to kill various targets. You get to use certain attack cards and the target gets to use defense cards, and if the defender wins, he gets a counterattack. The fun is that other players can give the target their own cards to have the target fight back in order to eliminate the attacker or save a high-point target for themselves. In one game we played, one of those high-point targets was the Church of Satan. One of the players drew their card and attacked them, so one of the players gave them his best defense card: "Faith in God." With this, the Church of Satan beat the initial attack and the player barely survived the counterattack to escape. This led to my coining the phrase, "There are no Satanists in foxholes."

TheTemplar Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From last night's Fantasy Hero Turakian Age campaign: Raz (Human Rogue) and Grangnar (Drakine Wizard) take a load of silver ore found on their last adventure to a local smithy to sell it. As the smith's apprentices are carrying the loads of ore into the store, Grangnar, a little leery of... well.. everyone, after all the cultists that they've run into lately, asks the Smith - Grangnar: "So... you haven't raised a horde of ravaging undead in the basement or anything, have you?" Smith: "... Define 'Horde'." Grangnar: "Umm... Over 5?" Smith: ".. Do you mean 5 and over, or just more than 5?" Grangnar: "Umm... more than 5." Smith: "Oh. In that case, no. No I haven't." Grangnar: "Oh. Good." ---------------- After a brief exchange overnight with Avelyne Lindsey, another prisoner being kept in the tower, where the PCs found themselves imprisoned, Raz speaks to Grangnar: Raz: "I don't know if you noticed this or not, but that woman up there in the cell next to yours is a total psycho." Grangnar: "Well.. she IS a woman." ---------------- And later, as Grangnar attempts conversation with the unusually reclusive Avelyne: Grangnar: "So... what are you in for?" Avelyne: "... I killed my husband." Grangnar: "Oh. You.. didn't raise ravaging hordes of undead or anything afterwards, did you?" Avelyne: "... Define 'Hordes'."

Black Omega Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Friday nights game: Darkstrike out of the blue said over our radio link "Someone better shut up these clowns. I swear to God I'm killing my clone if these clowns don't shut up!" Turns out someone was using mental illusions on him and hit a weak spot, while Darkstrike was visiting his clone we had captured in a battle earlier. He believed the clowns were in the clones mind. The finish of the big battle against two teleporting, perverse leather boys went like: GM: They teleport away with Kei-ULTRA. Kei, you find yourself in a room with bondage equipment and the twins. You can tell they are real, not illusions. Kei: Aaaaaiiiii! Darkstrike: I'm listening carefully over the radio. Kei's player: I'm sure you heard the scream. death tribble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon the OT, I'm just curious, since the notion a boyfriend or even husband could promise off his mate in such an exchange is a bit, well, archaic! No, I genuinely didn't. There were four newbies in the game, and I was trying to provoke them to think outside the box, so to speak, as well as loosen up some tension. The problem (in my experience) with Diplomacy, especially with new players, is that people tend to take the backstabs personally and get really pissed off. Doing something as blatantly absurd as the negotiate-for-nongame-benefits was intentional. But I'm wise enough to to have for asked something I would have enjoyed anyway, in the remote chance it worked... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
