Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
On the table where the GM's kids were playing, are a number of toys, including a doll of "Woody" from Toy Story. Two of the players on the couch play with them while the GM talks.
 
About ten minutes later, we encounter a goddess (It's an exalted game) in the swamp. She barters that for a kiss she'll show us the way to the temple. Our barbarian, who is known as a lothario who has left a trail of satisfied goddesses across the landscape of the world, steps up and kisses her.
 
At which point, another player turns to said player, who is holding the doll, and says, "Um... You might want to put your Woody away."

I was joining one of my GMs other regular games for a few sessions, I don't normally play with the second group, but their game takes place in a shared world so my character can join them.. I'm a shapeshifter with Accidental Change, most of them are powersuit types.
 
We're attacking a wharehouse with magic weilding thugs, after subduing the outside guards we're deciding what to do next when a sniper opens a window and shoots me, doing body triggers the Accidental Change and I burst into an Unkindness of Ravens (3 dozen birds or so).
 
GM: You get shot and take 2 Body.
Me: *rolls Acc.Chng.* I explode into a bunch of ravens.
The Healer: I CAN'T HEAL THAT!!!
 
They didn't know, up to that point, that I could shape shift at all... it was one of those surprise moments you can never repeat.

in space, the heroes are rescuing a quartet from their
trapped cruiser. the team teleporter, who has obscene
teleport, 0-end, (really x-dim move) starts bringing food and water
to the heroes and survivors.
 
he tells the GM: "I cater the rescue"

Couple of my lines from the last Champions game:
 
(watching the CF as the group tries to stop a popcorn cart from being stolen, moments after getting my butt whomped trying to take a 1000+ point villain solo):
"At least when I do something idiotic, it's because of my Psycological Limitations."
 
(after tracking down who was disrupting the festival by stealing snack vendors' carts):
"Guys, you'd better get over here. I found the culprit, I'm by myself, and I'm negotiating."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The other night, we were playtesting a con game, and a player decision meant that they were now going to need transport to the area where they suspect the hostage is. Only two of the six pregens can fly, and there was an argument going on as to whether the flyers could carry all the nonflyers.
 
PC 1 (running a male character): Do I have enough strength to take both of the girls?
 
PC 2: Wouldn't that be CON?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Last Saturday, our party had just literally been through Hell and come out in Shangri-La. We found ourselves in a Buddhist monastery. For some inane gnomish reason, I thought the monks should have loud red-orange robes, but the GM described them as dull brownish orange.
Windows 3000 Sux Man (me): Brown? What's the matter with scarlet?
Quantum: I don't know, and frankly I don't give a damn.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The female gamer of the group playing a stunningly gorgeous (of course) independent bad-assed type, walks into a local pub. After a few moments where she sits at the bar quietly talking with our contact who has the information we need, an extreamly large lumberjack type from a table full of others just like him who have all obviously been hitting the booze, walks up and tries to put the moves on her.
 
With a flick of the wrist (and a well timed crit) her blade is back in its sheath, she has turned back to the informant and continues to talk like no interuption occured, and the lumberjack sobers up to the fact that his guts are now spilling out onto the floor.
 
informant: "What was THAT all about????"
 
PC: "Oh, I have just found that there is nothing like a gaping chest wound to take a man's mind off of Sex."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Earlier tonight, a friend ran his Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed d20, which he's been running as a kind of 'regular pick-up game' ... if you can show, you do, if not, you don't. So, the party's levels are 3,3,4,6, and 9 (which is quite a spread, all things considered). To split the party up to make appropriate challenges, our 9th level character is yanked through the floor to fight a solo opponent while the rest of us get some weaker monsters.
 
We dispatch our little friends in short order, and this exchange (or a rough facsimile thereof) occurs:
Me: "I'll go over to the hole and look down there. Is the monster right under the hole?"
DM: (clatter of dice) "Yes."
Me: "Okay, I'm going to drop through the hole and attack it on the way down."
 
My attack (and all subsequent attacks) turn out to be wholly ineffective. Meanwhile, PC2, on his turn, does this:
PC2: "I'll go over to the hole, look in, and assess the situation."
Me: "Assess the situation? THAT'S the step I forgot!"
 
And a standalone line ...
"Too many cooks spoil the brothel."

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

That is a funny coincidence.
 
Okay, here's the quote/story - and a warning, as this relates to NGD (Non-Gaming Discussion) recent lore, so if you are offended by NGD-related stories, skip now!
 
In our game, I am using the Metal Men. And currently they're house-hunting - Doc Magnus is dead, and his entire estate/lab/base/etc. completely obliterated. They stayed for a bit with one of the PCs (lemming's in fact), Spectrum. But decided to adopt more human ways and so went off to get their own place.
 
Gold and Platinum were talking in front of our PCs. Platinum (AKA Tina), the platinum bombshell as it were and always over-played as such by me with her strong attraction to any robotic beings as well as human males, starts talking about adopting the human female role, taking care of all the house chores, decorating and such. She discusses stereotypical roles with eagerness, in her attempt to be the idealized male version of a female, bombshell and home maker.
 
So one of the PCs, known on the boards as Lamrok, his character being Nexus, Master of Dimensions, nods and says, "That's fine, Fred."
 
Like I said, you have to get NGD lore.
 
(will be cross-posted to there, too)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Not so much a funny line as a funny event (But there's not thread for that! )
 
-----
 
For this encounter, the DM converted the D&D game temporarily into a wargame, complete with units of Winter Wolves, Trolls, footsoldiers, various mounted units, and us player characters. Our most effective asset was a catapult with various enchanted projectiles.
 
At one point, the general of the opposing army (a mage) proceeds to turn invisible and we can't find him until he appears behind our line next to the catapult. A mage PC proceeds to blast the heck out of him with spells, taking him down quickly. Another character proceeds to reanimate him, thinking that this will demoralize the enemy.
 
Player: "I have him growl and stumble to the top of the hill."
DM: "The enemies receive their morale bonus because at that range, they think he's still alive."
Player: "Then on his next action I instruct him to get into the catapult"
 
This spawns a laughing jag, as next turn we proceed to launch the now-undead enemy general into his own troops, his head coming off in the flight. He also earned the nickname "General Dismemberment".

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Yesterday we had a one-shot adventure as part of a friend's birthday party, and the GM ran the classic "you're all fighting your evil duplicates" adventure. This resulted in a certain amount of "tell your teammates about your Vulnerabilities over the secure commlink" -- I think my character started it by telling everyone about her x1 1/2 STUN from Physical Killing Attacks. (It worked, though -- the team mentalist nailed Evil Nova with a mental illusion of being sliced with a katana and took her out with one shot. Of course, this means if he decides to run a "half the party becomes evil" scenario anyone who spoke up is now officially hosed ....) At one point, the team mystic was going to help the brick deal with her evil duplicate, since the two of them weren't getting anywhere trading punches. Magus wasn't sure how well his Ego Attack would do, so he called out "Titania! How weak-willed are you?"

A couple days ago was my biweekly Golden Age game. I was in the Villainy Amok playtest, so I borrowed one of Scott's variants on a bank robbery scenario and had the sorcerous villain Summon the money out of the vault. Mixed in with the usual "we're nickel and diming them down" comments was one made after I moved some cops to surround some of the cash: "Money! We have you surrounded! Lay yourself down!"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
From tonight's game:
 
UNIT 1 was called to a small town in France, which had just experienced a huge earthquake. A huge amount of damage was done in a small radius but, before we could investigate, we had to help the all of the people who were still in grave danger.
 
A tall, L-shaped residential building (40") was cracked at the foundation and a wing threatened to break off. Union Jack (Brick) had grown to his full height to better hold the building in place (Atlas style) while Tiger-Eye tried desperately to get the residents to evacuate.
 
Union Jack's player (to GM): "If it falls, what will it hit?"
 
GM: "That building over there, but most of it will crumble into the street." But there were people still fleeing the building and filling that street, so it wasn't an option.
 
Indicating the building on the other side, Union Jack's player (to GM): "What's in that building over there?"
 
GM: "That's a government building."
 
Union Jack's player (to GM): "So it's ok if I push it that way..."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The session before last, we polished off a major story arc, so last session had a lot of bookkeeping and "what to spend XP on".
 
One player wondered if they would be penalized for not spending all their XP right away. I said no, they could save some up if they wanted. Another player immediately asked "Do we get interest on them?"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
I finally have a quote worthy of mentioning. My superhero gaming group was facing off with a magician who had these magical orbs hovering around his head, each one having a different set of powers.
 
The team's most agile character, a sword-bearing she-devil (can you say 'Red Sonja?'), decided to try to relieve him of the orbs. Now, when I described these orbs, I said they were "like tiny little balls of crackling energy, floating around his head. You can, however, see the metal underneath the energy, so they're solid."
 
She leaps. Makes her Acrobatics roll. Makes her Strength roll to pull two of them from his telekinetic field. I say, "Okay, you succeeded. Now what?"
 
She exclaims: "I take his balls and run!"
 
Her boyfriend, who also games with us, sighs and says, "Why is this starting to feel familiar?"
 
Hilarity ensued.

Scene: Team is scattering to various places to follow leads down. Youngest member (Shockwave) heads to his room to play video games, having no other skills to contribute. Fiona has a unique transformation requirement, needing certain... er... 'naughty magazines' to transform herself. So her player is making sure the GM understands that those magazines are available in her lab.
 
GM: Right, okay, so Fiona's in her lab with her little love abode off in the corner. Everyone else is in their lab. And Shockwave's playing with his playboy....
 

 
GM: I mean his gameboy, gameboy! *sigh*

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
These are from our last bi-weekly Saturday superhero game:
 
The group is searching for a magical gateway wherein an important NPC may be hiding. One of the group mages (yes, we've got 2 on a superhero team), Kendrick, has been there, but it was over 1000 years ago, so he doesn't remember exactly where it is.
 
Ghost Hunter: How come you magic types never write stuff like this down?
 
Kendrick: Hey, that's a good idea.
 
============
 
Solar, nuclear physicist and walking atmoic reactor, is having problems changing back into his super ID. The rest of the team is trying to help him out:
 
Ghost Hunter: Have you ever thought scientifically about how you became Solar in the first place?
 
Solar: Yes, it's quite impossible.
 
============
 
In the previous game, we'd been attacked by a Qliphothic beast. This time, we're being attacked by a pack of demons. After getting the description:
 
Ghost Hunter's player: So, this is a much more normal demon.
 
============
 
Solar, in human form and with no time to change, is about to be attacked by a demon:
 
One of the other players: Abort to Desolid!
 
Solar's player: A fine red mist is Desolid, right?
 
============
 
SCUBA may be able to remember some others.

Not strictly a quote, but the write up from zornwil's game amused me. Disclaimer: I run Suzanne, also known as Spectrum.
 

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Our superhero group is flying across central Missouri, trying to locate the hidden base of the magical/technological villain who has kidnapped the hostages...
 
We see a low stone wall, covering a circle about two kilometers in radius. There are incredibly complex mystic runes on the wall.
 
Kendrick (the mage) blows his Analyze Magic rol1.
 
"Wow. It's incredibly complex... brilliant really. I can't quite make it out... seems to be some sort of..."
 
The plane flys over the wall. Instantly, the countryside is replaced by an ultra-modern base. Troops are everywhere. Scout cars and APCs are warming up. Mecha are beginning to turn towards us.
 
"...concealment spell. Oh."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Cascade, a brick made of hardened water, snuck into an enemy base through the pipes, coming up through the toilet just as an agent was unzipping his fly and preparing to do his business. He one-punched the guard.
 
Other player: "Hey, Cascade cold-cocked him."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
In today's "New Sentinels" game session, Horus-Re discovered that Starguard's power was apparently torn from the body of a murdered angel, and invested in her against her will, as an unintended consequence of some mad satanic ritual.
 
He took the angel's body up to the edge of space, and said these words, into the vacuum, to mark its passing.
 

 
Folks, I have just seen a PC tell off God Himself to his face, in utmost sincerity.
 
Awesome.
 
(And no, Horus-Re is nowhere near as powerful as the Presence. He's only about as powerful as Superman or Black Adam.
 
And yet, because he is who he is, the Champion of the Unconquered Sun, the only child of the ancient Turakian deity of truth and justice and honor... he will take this stand, no matter the odds against him.)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
I was running a playtest the other night, using the Champions as PCs for simplicity's sake (not everyone has 5th edition characters yet). Nighthawk and Witchcraft were in one part of the underground villain base when they get a warning from the rest of the team in another section -- the villains are going to try to release poison gas into the air supply. Nighthawk takes out his rebreather and gives it to Witchcraft.
 
Witchcraft: You're a gentleman.
Nighthawk: No, I'm Overconfident.
