bigdamnhero Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... It was far less than I suspected' date=' truth be told. His character has Unrequitted Love for Countess X, Oath of Fealty: Countess X, Code of Chivalry, and Rivalry Countess X's Husband, Social Limitation: Bastard, and Reputation: Paper Baron and Bastard Knight. Since the opening of the game the rivalry and the fact that he's in love with his liege have been played up on both of our parts. And the character has turned out to be religious and is struggling with both his desire to eliminate the husband and his passion for another man's wife in a big way.[/quote'] Wonderful indeed! A great example of playing conflicting disads against each other. And props to the player for building such a three-dimensional character!

Funny thing is, once I got my *** handed to me trying to figure out how to do the 'right' thing, all my buddies came in and, uh, put a permanent end to the problem for me.

Black Omega Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From my horror game with the slow moving, shambling zombies. "I'll bring a couple of extra tracking devices. Maybe we can tag a zombie." A couple of players joked about the bright orange tag that would be put on the ear. While I was imaging how dull that would be. 'Five minutes later it's at the end of the street, you can see it turning right. Your tracking device shows this also.' It would be a tracking device you could shoot into a zombie then take a nap and check later to see if it's gone very far yet.

ParagonAlpha Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I've got a few... Years ago I ran a game in Champions called "Alliance". Basically the backdrop was the predominate hero team of the world had been all but killed years ago but a new generation were trying to bring them back. Gathered on a rooftop, several of these individuals were trying to figure out if they could work together. Valkyrie: High-tech Power Armor. Wife of a former hero, now dead, and a reputable lawyer in Paranormal Law. El Mano Rojo (The Red Hand): A super dectective and nightstalking swashbuckler. Delt: A master of time and frat boy. Red Storm: Bitter energy projector and test pilot. and a few other... They are discussing the legal ramification of becomeing a team and what legal powers thay may have when El Mano Rojo decides t use his many contacts to find out. One of them reccommends talking to Amanda Reese, (the aforementioned Valkyrie's secret id). So he calls her pesonal cell phone. Everyone misses the fact that Valkryie's head begins to beep (the phone was interegrated into her Powersuit. But she doesn't have a voicemail, so decides to fake the answering machine message. Valkyrie: "... so press 1 if this is an emergency. Press 2 if this you are a current client. Press 3 if you are a referal." El Mano Rojo (a spanish batman-clone remember): "What number do I press if I figured out who your secret Id is?" To this day we use that to refer to characters that obvioulsy blow there ID.

Samuraiko Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... A few from last night's 7th Sea game: (Aleksi the gypsy, the group Casanova, had been left behind in town to track down the nephew of the man we were helping while the rest of the party went to fight an 8-foot-long killer wolf in the forest. Having no idea how to get around Freiburg, he decides to ask directions... from the loveliest women in town. Needless to say, he didn't get far.) Aleksi (defending himself to Stefano): "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find someone in this town? I mean, there was Rachel... and Brianna... and Michelle... but do you have any idea how hard it is to find a GUY in this town?!" (on why medieval graveyards are outside the city walls) Stefano: "You don't bury the dead with the living." Thora: "So where do you bury the living?" (Cael the Avalon archer has taken our enormous wolf kill to the Explorers' Society. Stefano has told him to get money for the wolf, but he has no idea how much it's worth...) Cael: "You see those ropes typing the wolf to the horse? Those are some very expensive ropes..." Ghost Raven (OCC): "Horses do not commit hate crimes." Manfred: "Avalon, the land of the cute and fuzzy monster." Stefano (to the now-26-up-from-6 members of the Town Guard who are escorting them to the nephew's house after the PCs decide to push them a bit): "So you don't get medals, you don't get promotions, you don't get trophies... how DO you know which guardsmen are the best?" Leader of the group: "They're still alive." (Thora has had enough of the men in the group picking a fight with the Town Guardsmen and finally turns to the one member of the guard who has not told the PCs to shut up or summoned help from another group of Guardsmen) Thora: "You know... I'm not really with them. And if you want to rough them up, go right ahead." (on Aleksi failing to find the nephew, and the Town Guard arriving the following day to "convince" the PCs to come along to the nephew's house under armed guard after the death of his uncle through no fault of ours) Manfred to Aleksi: "Just remember, it's not your fault we're here... it's your fault we're here under these conditions." Manfred: "We don't charge the dead for our services." Thora: "We don't charge the living, either." Manfred: "Yes, we do, we charge them up the a**! *points to the nephew* Manfred: "But we weren't doing it for him!" (on whether they are going to accept the nephew's offer for a VERY well paying job) Eric Karstein: "So are you all... amenable to my offer?" Aleksi: "We are not at each other's throats, and for our own reasons, we have not yet declined your offer." (on the group's acceptance) Stefano (referring to the guards' arrival at the inn earlier that morning): "I believe you already know where we are staying?" Manfred (referring to the fact that Cael has constantly been comparing things to "the way they are in Avalon"): "Yes, we are currently at the 'not-good-enough-for-the-Avalon' inn."

bigdamnhero Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... A few good one's from Thursday's Fantasy game: "The paladin is twitching and crying. He's just a big puddle." "That's evil. But in a good way." I hadn't named my horse yet, so the GM proclaimed: "You're on a horse with no name. Well, you are in the desert." (GM gets bonus points, considering she wasn't even alive when that song was released.) "The problem is I have testicles." (I won't even try to explain the context there.) (We come upon a group of gnolls, who have captured an NPC we've encountered before and buried him up to his neck in the sand. The NPC is a total jerkwad, but we feel honor-bound to rescue him anyway. The whole time we're fighting he gnolls, he's yelling and cursing for us to dig him out and generally being annoying.) "Someone shoot the talking head." "Don't tempt me." And my personal favorite: "Wow, my animal companion can kick my @$$!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Anomaly Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... "The Rod of Orcus...and at a dollar store, no less. Who would've thought?" ----- "If the plane breaks down, it's not like we can just pull over and call Triple A." ----- "In the history of the world, I wonder just how many other merc contracts have been signed in return for cookies?" ----- "If black denim curtains can't keep the sun out...move to a planet other than Mercury." ----- "Don't throw a book at me...throw something metal!" ----- "Somewhere in the universe, the star named 'Normal' just went supernova." ----- In the Dark Conspiracy-esque game, the group is trying to track down a particularly brutal sort of killer who, the last time the group tangled with her, sacrificed the soul of one of Dr. Travis Trent's graduate students in a black ritual. Dr. Trent, as well as the rest of the group, want this ***** bad, and are willing to go through a lot to find her. Currently their best lead finds them 'climbing the ladder' of the extreme end of the S&M/B&D community, using each club or group as a stepping stone to find the next higher, more extreme, club. In the most recent club, the floor show for the night was what you might call audience-participation torture, with members of the audience being both victim and torturer. In order to try and make a 'good impression' so as to secure the attention of someone who could direct them to the next rung on the ladder, when asked if he would participate, Dr. Trent agreed...as a victim. After his time 'in the spotlight', another member of the group helped him back to where everyone else is sitting. Trying his best to ignore the pain of his injuries, and worried about the psychological stress the rest of his party may have endured seeing him being tortured for the delight of the audience, he asked them: "Are the rest of you alright?" Rather wide-eyed and more than a bit wild-eyed, Rain looked at the rest of the members of the group, then back at Dr. Trent and said "After that...you have the nerve to ask us if we're alright?!?" freakboy6117 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkabout succeeds at performing a Cover maneuver. Walkabout - Hold it right there, little girl. Stand up slowly and step away from the computer. Cold Mary (SatinKitty) - Didn't you get the memo? About the Virus? (Makes Seduction and Persuasion rolls, criticals the Seduction roll) Walkabout - What virus? (breaks Cover) Cold Mary - (Attacks). --- Illya Mourometz, after being captured, is given a perfect opportunity to escape. Illya Mourometz (M) - I break the chains!
