Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

One of my players was notorious for naming chartacters if their player didn't come up with a good codename fast enough. (This gave us, among others, "Mgobo, the Human Taffy" - I still don't know where the 'mgobo' part came from). A new player was warned about this. She had a mystical sword that, when activated, generated armor and some other powers. About halfway through her first session, they sent her in to talk to the villan hunting the team figuring he wouldn't know her and she could get close. He asked her to identify herself, and she told him "My name is... Excalibabe!!"

It is the start of a new Champions campaign. One of the players is determined that the superhero name he comes up with cannot be mocked in any way. As his character has the delusion that he is a Jedi a certain amount of mocking is inevitable and he is determined that it should not be added to. He has spent about 25 minutes on the phone discussing names that are mock-proof. The other players have been told his quest for a name that cannot be mocked so the challenge is on. He announces his hero name will be Vornar.

 

Two seconds later 'Vornar the Porn Star' had been created and the player was looking for a new name.

 

Man, you can't say things like that to gamers! "Don't mock me!" is a sure invitation to be mocked. :lol:

A friend of mine is coming into town and actually offered to GM. I told him about others who would like in on the game. His response...

 

"The more the merrier. It’s been a while since I ran a large-scale session, but I’m up for it. What characters are they likely to play, and do you have a quick overview of each one so I have some idea how to kill them?"

From our Necessary Evil game. One PC, a female Atlantean warrior, has refused to tell us her name for weeks. I started calling her Fish Girl as a substitute. Episode five, we finally learn her name.

 

Fish Girl: My name is Nerryn. (Waiting, as if it would mean something to us.)

 

Mr. Shoal: Hmmm... that is beautiful. (shrugs) :straight:

 

Cannonball (me): Yeah... pretty name. How'd YOU get it? :eek:

 

 

(Table erupts in "oooooooohhhhhhhhh" and lots of wincing and ducking.)

 

 

Cannonball: (looking at Mr. Shoal due to his reaction) What? :doi: (split second before a bowling ball thrown by Fish Girl takes him in the side of the head... I had to spend a Bennie to soak a wound for that!) :ugly:

Had a big game Friday night. A bunch of cosmic stuff that has been building for years (literally) in my game is beginning to come to a head. Alien invasions, multiple earths, secrets of the old gods, the passing of the Progenitors, etc. A bunch of the big name heroes were gathered.

 

Meeting one of the last Progenitors he looks at Vengeance, the super-ninja who has become one of "the Blood."

 

Progenitor: Ah... the new carrier. (looks at Vengeance like you'd size up a prize breeding cow) How many of your progeny have reached maturity?

 

Vengeance: (eyes wide) uh... WHAT?

 

Progenitor: How many of your offspring have survived to self sufficience?

 

Vengeance: (incredulous) I don't have any kids!

 

Progeniotr: (looking him up and down, concerned, almost angry) Are you defective?

 

Vengeance: What? No... I mean... I have a girlfriend and we've thought about... getting... (looks at all the others watching him) and I don't know if she wants kids... (waves hands and backs off) Wait. I am REALLY uncomfortable talking about this!

 

-------

 

"Throw me the ninja!" (In the same tone as "Show me the money!")

 

Much of the battle took place about a mile in the air, vs. an Azure Empirial Command Frigate... poor Vengeance had to be hauled along by the rest of the team who could fly... and passing him off as they engaged in battle generated the above recurring comment.

 

-------

 

Three of the heroes have armor/suits made of a unique substance called Crystal Tech and they had made a plan to fuse their foci in an attempt to communicate with a giant, living manifestation of crys-tech. Before this could happen, they had to battle the Azure warcraft. The main blow of the battle was delivered by Centurion (one of the three with armor) who performed a full, non-combat speed Move-Through head-on with the incoming ship also travelling about 1000 mph and the size of a naval destroyer. Just before he hits the breach for a truly massive impact...

 

Locke to Vector: "Uh... we can still do this plan with two suits... right?"

Can't fault him for lack of bravery. Did he survive?

Yah... negative 100 plus in stun... took some body that put him close to 1 or 2 left. Armor actually took three hits which did body to it.

 

Since he was plowing through the interior of the ship, I divided up the damage done to him into multiple hits ranging from 5d6 to 25d6, depenind on what he hit.

 

The last two hits were only 10d6 and 5d6 which did nothing to him, and we joked that he landed in the ship's Gift Shop.

 

My comment was, "If you were conscious, you'd find yourself in a pile of rubble and oddly... piece of cloth. One of them... a clothing like object floats down and settles to cover your unconscious face... written on it is "I came to conquer the earth, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt!"

Went to the bar instead of gaming this week, but I still have a quote:

 

A Yalie was talking politics and I, the tattooed scumbag townie ,made a point that startled him. People who look like me aren't supposed to be able to follow Yalie conversation. He turned to me and said "You're very astute!"

 

I said "If by 'astute' you mean 'f****d up on cheap bourbon', you are correct"

 

 

It wasn't gaming, but we had fun.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...

 

Several game sessions ago, in my Pulp/Horror/Urban Fantasy game, one of the PCs got a suspicious envelope in the mail. He promptly tried to hand it to the 14 year old secretary to open it for him, in case it was booby-trapped. The other PC's stopped him.

 

Last night, he was approached by a cheerleader he'd been warned might be a demon in disguise, and he happily let her chat him up (until, again, another PC ran her off).

 

At this point one of the players commented "Wait, you make the secretary open your mail, but you'll sleep with the p*ssy of the damned!?!"

He has a 14-year-old secretary? :nonp:

Yeah, I was wondering at that myself. OTOH, I've seen a lot of anime with 14-15 year-old magicians, combat pilots, gunfighters, ghost-busters, and so on, so didn't think too much about it.

Speaking as a former drooling ecchi anime fanboy, when I was younger (pre-25), I would have had absolutely no problem with this. Then again, I wouldn't have a problem with it now, if there were good story hooks to be had; I'm thinking of the secretary from Phantom Quest Corp.
