Egyptoid Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Finally a real QOTW: Weeks ago the hero team was encourage to spend points on "Team" gear, espcially ways to communicate. In the heat of the battle, the mindlink goes down and Ohm the Energy Projector tries to call up Arbiter the Mystic. no dice. Ohm: "Didnt you get a radio yet ? " Arbiter: "As I walk the halls of the Vishanti, many voices of all shapes and colors reach out to me with many aromas. I find it difficult to respond to all of them, so I maintain my silence." bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egyptoid Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... and yet another QOTW: Enemy Teleporter has bamfed into the dungeon where Blockhouse the Brick is laying. He drops a gas grenade onto Block-House an will teleport back out next phase. meanwhile, Big Brother the Mentalist has tapped onto Teleporter and mind-controlled him. over the team mind-link he informs Block-House of this fact. Block-House stands up and one-punches the Teleporter, cleaning his clock completely and laying his "rescue vehicle" out on the deck. Over the mindlink the whole team yells at Block-House that he has just wrecked the only viable rescue plan. Block-House responds to the mentalist: How was I supposed to know your powers would work this time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Elven Rogue: I'm positive there isn't a trap on this door. Dwarven Fighter: That's what you said about the last four traps you missed finding. Elven Rogue: What are the odds of my failing a fifth time in a row? Dwarven Fighter: Right. (Sighs) Okay, everyone else step back about fifty feet. If anyone's going to get blown up, parboiled, covered in poison spray, or cursed with something, it's going to be me. I'm a dwarf, and I can take it, just like I took it the last few times. *BOOOM!* Elven Rogue: What do you know? I guess tonight isn't my lucky night. Dwarven Fighter: (Laying on floor, gasping for air) If I could reach you, Elf, I'd kill you. Elven Rogue: Oh, Mr. Cleric, sir? I think you'll need to bring the industrial strength bandages for this one. Human Cleric: (Sighs) I wonder if it's not too late to head back to the temple for a nice game of cribbage with the monks?

CrosshairCollie Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... One of the PCs in my Mystic Champions game has Hippolyta's Belt, which (due to a little alteration in the mythological basis) increases her strength and durability to very brickian levels. The party is about to head out to follow up a lead ... Me: "Do you wear your Crashtity Belt?" "As you drive past the cemetary, the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end ... and you see, crawling up from the ground, scratching through the cold earth ..." "CUE THE 'THRILLER' ALBUM!" " ... shut up, Jeff." After that exchange, I slipped under the table and extended one hand up, emulating the scrabbling, scratching motion, complete with zombie sound effects, but I was too fast/spastic rather than desperately reaching. "Oh, an epileptic is crawling out of the grave." "Shut up, Roberto." As a side note, I pulled my shoulder on that stunt ... ah, the price of GMming.

There's a skill for everything from basket-weaving to re-orienting yourself after having your component atoms spread across the universe and coalescing elsewhere.

DEFCON Clown Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... What did the player do?? Leapt off the rocket and used his 17d6, one shot, hand cannon to shoot the ground as he neared it. I ruled that it slowed him down enough that he survive the impact, but not by much. Another teammate had to heal him but he survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from the latest session of The Neon Labyrinth. Susano's title for today's session: "Nakamura And Jones Go Quantity Surveying" Jones: Those two young lovers over there, what do you see? Nakamura: Regular people. What do you see? Jones: Corpses. (This was followed by "Jones sees dead people" OOC) Captain Obvious: World of Darkness gaki are much more tragically hip than real-world gaki. The GM comments on Jones' combat record: "He has a way of making things dead." (Jones added a gaki to his kill record -- and basically broke another one while capturing him "alive".)

dartnet Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Here is the quotes from the last 2 startrek games: The plant is growing because he is feeding it hamburger and...kittens. She then drugged, tided up and molested the science officer. And they have the thing that looks like a Winnebago. New Science and crack hoes. What else do you need? One thing the Nigerian Government doesn’t have is a starship. The Gorn rips your head off and poops down your throat just so that nothing else comes by to eat you before he gets back. Just to break things up the trackless jungle is sometimes re-placed by trackless swamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
