Yeah' date=' sounds like me (and yes, my last name is Kendrick)[/quote'] My baby neice's name is Kendrick (well, Ida Kendrick), called "Kendy" after my mother. IIRC it was my mother's middle name because it was another relative's maiden name. So Kendrick is a name out in the real world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Maxwell Smart (played by Keith Curtis) loses his luggage in the ocean when diving onto the Love Boat. Many hours later, at dinner in the evening, the Nanny (of ...and the Professor), played by someone whose name escapes me, suggests, "Perhaps they'll recover your luggage." (player rolls her 6d6 Luck, without even checking the results, which did end up with 1 "6", Smart/Curtis follows up...) Smart/Curtis "The odds of that are a million to one." In comes Gopher with a sopping wet suitcase. "Would you believe, a 100 to one?" He hands it to Smart who opens it, finding indeed it's his. "Would you believe I'd like to get a lottery ticket?" PS - one upcoming, but being saved at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca [new slayer of Torchwood, Tx]: So let me get this straight, I'm going to a school in a cursed town, vampires are real, and the coach hexed the football team into being perfect, but it backfired and they were possessed by demons, just so they could win the homecoming game? Stephen [Watcher]: That's correct, and they will be fully possessed and transform at the dance, if my calculations are correct. Rebecca: Great, the quaterback asked me to it.

bigdamnhero Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Favorite quotes from GenghisCon: From my Champions game: Illuminatus, the mystic (played by Bill Keyes): “It’s DARK SORCERY!” Other player: “You said that when your hamburger came back underdone.” Later, Illuminatus confronts Madame Diamond, a well-known celebrity psychic (think Shirley Maclaine meets Madame Cleo), who he’s convinced is a total fraud: Madame Diamond: “DARK SORCERY is at work!” Illuminatus: “Well...yeah okay.” Madame Diamond: “We’re all in terrible danger!” Illuminatus: “...Allright, I’ll give you that one, but...” Madame Diamond: “And you need mystical protection.” Iron Maiden: “Dude, she sounds just like you.” Magnetica, a female PC (run by a very attractive female player) is searching an actress’ trailer for clues, but badly blows her PER roll. The player decides she got distracted by the actress’ lingere drawer. Magnetica: “Ooo, she’s got some really nice stuff in here.” [Mimes holding up a teddie] “This would look great on me.” GM: “You’re taller than she is; it’s a little short on you.” Magnetica: “I don’t see that as a problem.” The male players (and the GM) had a little trouble focusing on the scenario after that. From BunnySue’s Pulp game: As the goons with guns enter: “I think you can get those 5 for a dollar at Wal-Mart.” “The guns or the goons?” Sheena, Queen of the Jungle (played by Yours Truly), who’s been forced into “civilized” clothes for a big reception: “How am I supposed to fight in this? I can barely walk?” Jane Greystoke: “Running in high heels is easy. *Stopping* in high heels is hard.” After the GM’s description of the evil priestess in the chainmail bikini: Player 1: “So can I assume she’s not wearing any armor?” Player 2: [looking at the miniature] “If she is, it’s got one hell of an activation roll.” From my Future Pulp SH game: From the GM (me) as my laptop fails to boot up: “Okay, we’re going to be doing some improvisation. More than usual, that is.” From a 7-year-old player, after reading his character’s background: “I grew up on the streets?” [pause] “COOOL!” Same player, after the PCs contemptuously bat aside all my surface-to-air missiles (which in my playtests, blew up their ship every time): “That’s it? Shoot some more missiles, it’s fun.” Ghost-Angel: “I’m a pulp heroine who just got knocked out; it doesn’t get more genre than that.” From Bill Keyes’ Arabian Nights FH game: Following one-too-many Star Wars references: Me: “Let’s stay in this universe, it’s better written.” Darnet: “And none of us are CGI.” JCFiala: [raises hand] “I am.” Bad Guy: “You hurt me!” Ghost-Angel: “Don’t be evil.” As we prepare to assault the castle of my father, the Evil Sorceror: Player: “I think you have some parental issues.” Me: “Not for long...” As we burst into the villain’s throne room: Villain: “I’m on the throne, do you mind?” From Bill’s Teen Titans game: A young girl was playing Raven, whose character sheet included the Disad “Freaky Goth Chick.” That player’s mother – who IS a Freaky Goth Chick – looks over and says “Hey, who says that’s a disadvantage?” Me: “So am I really the only one in this room who’s never seen the cartoon?” Other Player: “And you call yourself a geek.” Following a really effective coordinated attack: "Wow, teamwork really pays off." "And that, kids, is the moral of today's story..." From an Arcanis (fantasy) game: Following a REALLY good tracking roll: “...and it has a poison bite. And black eyes.” Skeptical looks from the players. “OK, I suppose you couldn't get that from a tracking roll.” “The fact that they spotted us tells me they have magic.” “Really? The fact that they blew apart the tower with huge freaking lightning bolts tells ME they have magic.” Various: “If I was that cool, then I’d be that cool. But I’m not that cool.” “The beer starts to get out of control. Gimme a STR roll to hold onto the beer.” Overheard at the Serenity table: “Next time, Captain, we should bring the porn onboard.” Players at my table turn around with: “So, who’s playing Jayne?” and “We’ll be in our bunks.” And lastly from my beloved, who supports my weird hobby even if she doesn’t understand it, as I left for the con: “Have fun with the other... imponderables.” death tribble, teh bunneh, transmetahuman and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes indeed, it was hard to concentrate on the game with that going on. And even worse (or better) was when she said she was going to wear her new lace teddy under her costume, because "It looks so good on me." Every time her turn came up in combat, she (the player) lifted up her shirt slightly so she could admire herself (the character) in the lace teddy. :boggle: Those were all some great quotes.

AliceTheOwl Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... We had a character, for her Valdorian task, enslave herself to my character. My favorite lines: We're very near the slave market, waiting on a slave collar to be fashioned. My character is eyeing the goods, assessing how one determines the value of a slave. Sophia: Don't even THINK about it! Kessa: I don't think you'd fetch any more than 50 coins, anyway. Sophia: HEY! I'm worth more than that! Later, they get back to the house, where Carmen, the male barbarian, hasn't any idea this has happened. He's known for his lack of tact, and giving Sophia, the employer, a hard time. Kessa, known for being laconic and understated, says, "There's something else you can't talk about now." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we prepare to assault the castle of my father, the Evil Sorceror: Player: “I think you have some parental issues.†Me: “Not for long...†Reminds me of an old supers game. One of our main villains was one of the PC's husband, who had, among other things, framed her for all of his intergalactic crimes, making her into a fugitive from her people. My character consistently refered to him as her ex-husband, and she always corrected me that they were, technically still married, as it is rather hard to apply for a divorce when you're running from the law. Later, we finally caught up with him. Charlie: We're here to serve your divorce papers. Starshine: I don't want a divorce, I want to be a widow!
