Lucius Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Every once in a while I sit in on a D&D game. I was recently playing a character a friend made for me. Apparently you can play a Bugbear in 4th edition D&D now. The scenario called for us to entertain a bunch of pixies. Hades the Bugbear lacks performance and storytelling type skills. Hades Out of Character: Can I use my Intimidate: 10 to tell a really scary story? I was allowed to because it was creative. Later, talking to my gaming friends about it, I said "Yeah, it's easy to tell a scary story to pixies. 'Have you heard about the big bullfrog that lurks in ponds around here? It will sit in the water, just its eyes showing if that, waiting.....and when a pixie flits by, it jumps! And it's long sticky icky slimy tongue goes ZAP!' And then jump into the pixies, scattering them." Other than that, my big line was Hades: Here we are, half drunk on honey mead, being chased by bears through the forest.....this is fun! Right before getting mauled by a bear. I had to sit out the next game. I said "Just say Hades got ravaged by another bear. Or found a female bear and is getting ravished rather than ravaged. With a crazy Bugbear like Hades, you never know." Lucius Alexander The palindromedary notes that Hades also paused to use his Impossibly Heavy Sword to cut open a tent in passing. Lucius doesn't want a moderate, so-so gaming experience. He likes the action to be in tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Another character pic for the Rogue Trader Campaign, and a bio for those people who weren't paying attention to earlier installments of RT & Dark Heresy [ATTACH=CONFIG]41099[/ATTACH] A minor criminal who got lucky. Very lucky. Born on the Imperial Shrine-world of Kringle, and then known as Rosenkrantz, he was one of thousands of POWs taken by the Tau when Kringle was overrun. Shipped off to an experimental colony where the Tau were trying to encourage all their various POWs to embrace the Greater Good, Rosenkrantz soon became involved in various shenanigans, was tortured almost to death by his own people for something he didn't do, and was so enraged by this injustice he promptly went to work full-time for the Tau. This didn't go according to plan, either, and Rosenkrantz, now Jak Frost, found himself wandering around the Koronus Expanse at the other end of the galaxy, where he eventually lucked out and was hired on to the starship Rose Tattoo, where his abilities soon saw him earn a position of considerable responsibility. Not bad going for a traitor, coward, and heretic, especially one with such bizarre fashion sense ( Imperial tastes leaning more towards 'Over-Elaborate with Extra Skulls' ).

Lucius Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More from Hades the Bugbear. While crossing a lake, the party is attacked by a Pixie and some water elementals. And for some reason I start speaking Hades' lines in rhyme. Hades: Shaman shouldn't be afloat; shaman needs to be in boat. The shaman convinced me not to use an action to haul her aboard, she could get aboard on her own well enough. (she turned out to be mistaken in that.) Hades: Pixie fine, pixie gay, pixie need to go away! Hades, after being dumped in the water too: Pixie foul, pixie smug, Hades smash you like a bug! I should have said "Brace yourselves, I'm going to shove this boat forward right into that water elemental in an attempt to disrupt it" but I couldn't think of a way to make that rhyme, so one of the other characters was knocked over. I only did 4 pts of damage too. What worries me is....now I've started, I feel obliged to keep rhyming with Hades and I don't know if I can keep it up. The other players saying a rhyming Bugbear is just creepy only makes me more determined to try, though. I'm already getting some ready for next battle Hades: Giant big, giant strong, Hades hopes we get along. We're looking for a friend held dear. Have you seen Orlando here? Giant tall, touch the skies, Hades cut him down to size! Oh, and one comment I made out of character: Anyone who carries an otter in their pocket is someone I'd like to know.

Lucius Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Are you sure Hades middle name isn't Fezzig? Actually, since I started doing it I've been reminded of Crunch the Ogre from some of the Xanth novels and, oddly of Sweetums the big Muppet monster (even though the latter doesn't rhyme and neither carries a great big sword.) But thanks for the reminder of Fezzig - it reminds me that I can also play off of what others say if I spot a potential rhyme. One friend keeps telling me that rhyming is for cute little creatures like pixies, not big scary monsters like Bugbears.

Perpetual GM Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The only one I can think of off the top of my head comes from a D&D game in college. Our party opened a storage closet in the ruins of a dungeon and it was full of a bunch of broken jars and a few intact ones. We got into a debate about whether we should open them here or take them back to town when the DM, clearly anxious, says, "Look guys, do you open the pudding?" I say, "No. We carefully set the pudding back on the shelf, re-lock the door and leave the room." He (mostly good-naturedly) accused us of meta-gaming and said that it could have been chocolate pudding in the urn. My response was, "We haven't killed Bill Cosby yet in here, so I'm willing to bet that wasn't the kind of pudding you were talking about!" "Do you open the pudding?" Has since become a buzz word for my friends as a warning not to do something obviously stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
