Yiska: I'm saddened. Robert (OOC): What's a 'drider'? GM: Drow-spider centaur. Robert (OOC): *sigh* D&D. Nestor: This is going to be bad, or very bad. GM: You have a 6-ton power armor on you.

Matt Frisbee Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Knightshift Stories (DC:TAS) campaign, session 2 -- The characters are battling Clockwork, a time-themed villain with a chronograph fetish and have defeated the villain. The villain's real name is Michael Thomas Greenwich. Powerhouse is being played by a guy who really hates puns. Clockwork: You can't send me back prison -- I WON'T GO! Powerhouse: Not only are you going to the big house, Greenwich, you're going to do some mean time! (There was exactly four seconds of silence before the player realized what he said.) Yeah, I thought it was funny. Matt "No-'second'-chances" Frisbee (Har-de-har-har!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weldun Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Mid-week Star Wars game. (My first real oportunity to post.) The party is in a bit of a pickle. Johest, the pilot, is on life support and in need of cyborg conversion of 20% of his brain if he ever wants to walk again. Sandral, the former-senator/rather dangerous gun-nut, has just successfully repelled a possession attempt by an ancient Sith Lord (again, thats 2-for-2). Vishil, the roguish monk/jedi, is wigging out a little over having been possessed for the last 6 hours. My character Uran, the archaeologist/killing machine, is dead. (Time for character number 3. At least #3 didn't end up killing #2, like #2 did for #1). All of this has happened whilst exploring Freedon Nadd's tomb on Duxn, a few months after the Battle of Yavin. Sandral: So, where do we go next? Vishal: Don't we want to stick around and look for HK-47? Sandral: Not particularly. We might find him. Note: It does occur to me that the quote works just as well without context. El Muerte Roha (How's my Spanish?) is never a droid you want to "encounter."

bigdamnhero Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Thursday's fantasy game. We're in the ubiquitous tavern when an NPC approaches us with a job offer. After a couple minutes of our weirdness, the NPC is seriously wondering whether there might be some other adventurers he could hire instead... GM: (OOC) "Don't scare away the plot hook." The NPC eventually hires us to go track down a missing archeologist named Belloq. Me: "Really, is he French?" Player #2: [in John Rhys-Davies voice] "They call him Belloshe" Me: "SOB can effing rescue himself!" Player #2: "If only we spoke Hovitos!" Followed by several other Raiders of the Lost Arc references. Sadly, the other players & GM had no idea what we were talking about. My lizardman character accidentally referred to the (evil) Ssethrics instead of the (good) Ss'ressens: "Sorry, slip of the forked tongue." The GM describes an NPC's attire, which includes gold & mauve armor. Polonius: (a patrician who's a bit of a dandy) "Gold and Mauve? We have to kill him for that alone." GM: "I didn't know you took the Fashion Police Perk." Later the GM describes a troll-like monster with a brightly-colored carapice: Wizard Player: (OOC) "Does his colorful candy shell give him fire resistance?" This last bit was related to me from a game I missed. One of the PCs is a powerful wizard who loves big area effect spells that do tons of damage to as many opponents as possible. The concept of only attacking one opponent at a time is somehow foreign to him. But in this case, the monsters had a group of captured nuns in their midst. Wizard: "Can I hit them (the monsters) with a fireball?" GM: "You'd almost certainly kill the nuns too." Wizard: "OK how about... (an area effect Entangle that also inflicts damage on those caught in it)?" GM: "The nuns are still there." Wizard: "I could cast (another area effect damage-dealer)" GM: "Nuns!" Wizard: "There's always... (and another)" GM: "Still nuns!" Wizard: "Or maybe..." Apparantly this went on for quite some time, to the great amusement of the other players... He was eventually persuaded to throw a non-damage-dealing area effect entangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From yesterday's FH game: Father Danaecus, the offbeat priest, declares that they'll stop the bandits from their erring ways by taking away their weapons, and their pants. This in and of itself got the table in an uproar, but these gems did come of it: (Context: the party has just passed by a town where the dominant church is a sex cult. They passed on by, carefully averting their eyes.) Aralden (bard NPC): What's taking their pants away going to do? I mean, the nearest town is . . . Oh. Never mind; carry on. Sir Gerard (knight PC): I don't get it. Why take away their pants? Father Danaecus: It's not like they'll want to attack anyone without them. Sir Gerard: Oh, how far I've come.

CandidGamera Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From Origins. The Auditioners, run by CpSpaulding. A pal of mine was taking on the role of Barnraiser, Amish Pacifist Brick. He was ragging on the team's blind speedster - Speedbump - a little much, I felt. So I had to pipe in: "Wow, you're a Mean-onite!" There was also an excellent bit where we got to visit a Star-Trek themed German restaurant. We had rented out the entire place, and were seated as soon as we came in. As we received our menus, I was struck by inspiration. "I'll have the 'What Does God Need With a Bratwurst'." This prompted several other Star Trek themed German dishes from the rest of the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmakaze Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Our standard theme restaurant is "The Obvious Trap". It started out in a Star Hero game where we had an exchange along the lines of, PC1 - She says she's willing to meet us in a public place, maybe a restaurant in port PC2 - Because being in public has stopped the homicidal android in the past? PC1 - We have to try. PC2 - Fine, you meet her at the obvious trap, we'll provide backup outside. PC3 - "The Obvious Trap"? What is that, a chain? The Obvious Trap is now the default restaurant for any sort of public meeting. It made its way into a SuperHero campaign. We even had a PC have a date at the fancier version - "Le Piège Évident" It's kind of like a Fridays/Bennigans/Ruby Tuesday, except the tschotschke's on the walls are swinging blades, rope traps, etc. The waiters wear ninja pajamas, femme fatale dresses, or other goonwear. The pens are shaped like little blow-dart tubes... They have franchises all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weldun Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I just remembered a running franchise in one of my gaming groups. "Honest Achmed's Used ." It first started as "Honest Achmed's Used Camels" in an Arabian Nights campaign. "Ah Salam, good Sirs! Welcome to Honest Achmed's Used Camels, where we have the finest broken-in camels in all of Al-Qalah! Please, feel free to inspect any of these fine camels. Oh no, Sir! Not that one! She spits fiercely, Sir!" This was followed by “Honest Achmed’s Used Cars.” “Oh no, Sir! Not that one! She leaks terribly so, Sir!” “Honest Achmed’s Used Starships.” “Ah, a good choice, Sir. She is a sturdy design, only slightly leaky.” And then there was, “Honest Achmed’s Used ‘Mechs.” “Isn’t she lovely, Sir? She’s one the last Phoenix Hawk LAMs in existence, now that Clan Nova Cat has captured the last factory. Err, the conversion module? Why, she still has the original, Sir. Does it still work? Allah, save me! Here I am, a humble merchant trying to fend for his three wives, and offering this worthy Sir a chance to own a rare treasure in these troubled times! And he asks me if it still works! Sir, do you see the laser mountings? They have been custom-finished by the finest Capellan sweatsh…err, hand-crafters. How can you pass up such an opportunity?” We soon learned to use his brother, “Brutally Honest” Abdul, instead. The merchandise wasn’t any better, but he really was “Brutally Honest” about it’s condition. "Honest" Achmed is best described as an Arabian version of Sgt. Bilko. (The T.V. version, not Steve Martin's, although his was good as well.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basilisk (Player #2): "Okay, now we just need the computer to figure out what a Galactic Standard Unit is in relation to our measurements. Does anyone have a good Measurement idea?"
