Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Sigh...not hero (sob) but funny none the less.
 
We're playing in an Eberon game. I'm behind the reigns of a bossy human Artificer of house Cannith (Adam), and my friend is playing my Warforged Bodyguard (Hammer). Story behind the two is that I built him before the end of the war and we then served untill it ended.
 
Quotes:
Hammer: "...then you can bind an air elemental to me, and I could fly!"
Adam: "No! No flight!"
Hammer: "Why not?"
Adam: "Because first you'll want wings! Then you'll want BLADES ON THEM!"
 
------------------
 
Adam: "Uh oh. Iron Defenders."
Hammer: "Ooh...DOGGIES! I WANT A DOGGIE!"
Adam: "No Hammer. No dogs. Umm...hows this. You go first and destroy them, and I'll stay here."
Hammer: "No. I want a doggie!"
Adam: "What? No dogs Hammer. Now destroy them so we can search the room and get out of here."
Hammer: "No. I want one of THOSE doggies!"
Adam: "Hammer. Axe. Doggies. Now. I'll make you one later."
 
------------------
 
Sinister Man: "I have heard tales of your group's exploits and know of your reputation to be both effective and discreet."
Hammer: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...(continues for a while)"
Adam: "Do you want me to help you find these 'discreet' guys you keep going on about because there's no way in HELL you can be talking about us."
Hammer: "(still laughing)"
Adam: "Maybe you're talking about my cousin? Alvin duCannith? He's kind of discreet...well...compared to us at least..."
Sinister Man: "No, I'm positive it's you."
Hammer: "(still laughing)"
 
-----------------------
 
Little explaniation about this one. We were on an airship looking for a vampire that was on-board and were in our cabin discussing tactics.
 
Adam: "Okay, when we find him, what do we do with the captin demanding we stay in our cabbin like that?"
Hammer: "I want to ride the vampire all the way to the ground! It would make one hell of a crater, AND he'd be turned into goo!"
Adam: "Umm...Hammer, I didn't build you to survive that kind of a fall..."
Hamer: "Yeah, but THINK of the crater we'd make!"
 
Ugh...the thing's I put up with...

From my HU game:
 
GM: Alex, you're floating in orbit above the earth, Gecko has been knocked into the atmosphere, Miklos has left the system to pick up his other pound of gold.
 
Vash, you're just dead.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
In our Champions game Blue Bat has had nothing but bad luck with his Bata-Rangs. Every time he's used them he's either missed, fumbled an 18, or just totally bounced them off nothing.
 
The GM usually described the missed shot (the Bata-Rangs are supposed to return to him) as being stuck point-first into a nearby wall.
 
One teammate tried to be helpful:
Blue-Bat rolls an 18 again.
Batarang goes zang into wall over villains head.
My character points at it, attempts a PRE attack with it by exclaiming "My gosh, I cant believe he's using a Bat-Bomb! Run!!"
GM says no way, its not ticking. PRE attack fails.
 
Other teammate just makes fun of Blue-Bat:
Bata-Rangs? I thought they were climbing tools.
(cause they stick in walls like little shelves)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
Sunday night was probably the best quote ever but it wasn't in a gaming situation.
 
We were out getting snacks and we stopped by Wendy's so one of the players(The Real Vector) could grab a burger and it went like this.
 
TRV: Yeah I'll take the number 2 no onions no mayo.
 
Wendy's employee: No onions.
 
TRV: Yeah and no mayo.
 
*On the screen flashes MAYO ONLY*
 
Wndy's emplyee: That will be 5.42
 
TRV: May God have mercy on you if there's mayo on my burger...
 
I'm laughing as I write this.

Background - the group average age is around 35; the daughter of one of the players is in the group as well. She has a reputation for - not noticing things - as quick as the rest of the group.
 
SCUBA Hero: So, what did I miss last session?
 
Daughter: I did something smart!!!
 
SCUBA: (immediately) I disbelieve.
 
Other Player: Me too! Do we get a bonus to our roll?

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
My friend Terror has played our game for over two years but still is loathe to admit she's a "gamer". She was telling the group how she turned down a date in order to make it to game sunday:
 
Jim: Did you tell him you were gaming?
 
Terror: No. I told him I had an NA meeting.

Today's D&D game.
 
GM (me): (Player 1 failed his perception roll to see the statues animate in time to warn.) While watching the elf, you notice just in the nick of time that those statues have come alive and one is attacking you and one is attacking the elf.
 
Player 1 (dwarf): (Rolls die, hits.) I do 5 points of damage.
 
GM: When you slice into the fighter, you notice that instead of blood, the man is actually made up completely of wax.
 
Player 2 (elf): Ooh, we can mold them into candles when we're done.

Some quotes from Saturday's "7th Sea" game...
 
"'Platypus' - Ussuran for 'Matushka didn't know what the hell it was either...'"
 
GM: "There's now about 40 of them, 10 of you."
Gustaphe to Connor: "I say we let them send for reinforcements."
 
Alexei: "So we're facing nearly impossible odds, and we have no concept of a plan..."
Inigo: "Sounds like our usual job description."
 
Jim (Gustaphe's player): "What do you mean, the garrison commander didn't have the cell keys on him?! How am I supposed to get the chains off this guy?!"
Gabrielle (who is already out of the city and helped in the earlier jail break): *twirling keys around on her finger*: "So I wonder what the other keys on this chain are for?"
 
Repeated statement by various Montaigne: "No... El Vago can NOT be in Ussura..."
(He is.)

From a Vampire game a few weeks ago.
 
Player: I wasn’t planning to have to role play this out.
GM: It is a Role Playing Game!
 
GM: You’re cutting cheese in my general direction.
(She really was slicing cheese.)
 
GM: You feel as if you’d walked into the lion’s den with a steak tied to your face.
Player: The kind cut from the side of a cow, not from the limb of a tree.

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

 
 
That reminds me of one from my L5R game a while back.
 
The group of Samurais are traveling, looking to find a village suitable for us to stay for the night. We see ahead of us in the distance a Village with some smoke coming from it. The Crab Yojimbo goes ahead to check it out, she finds a devestated village with it's dead inhabinants scattered around the area, a rather gruesome scene. (remember in this world touching the dead is incredibly dishonourable and just the thought of sleeping near dead would repulse any of these characters). She comes back and says:
 
"This village will not meet our needs."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The group is a bunch of supernaturally-based supers and occultists searching for the Spear of Destiny in a humongous castle during WWII (think Hellboy.)
 
Five minutes into the first session of the first game:
 
Mateusz: "Found it!"
 
(The GM looks shocked.)
 
Mateusz heads into the bathroom that he was searching for.
 
Mateusz: "You try holding it since Cherbourge"
 
----------------
 
Mateusz is a Polish national.
 
GM: Letizia and Mateusz find each room they search empty of any signs of recent activity. They search a dining hall, a kitchen, several bedrooms, an armory. Finally the hallway comes to a a set of stairs heading up and one going down.
Letizia: "Up or down?"
Mateusz: "I'll take down."
Mateusz: "When have you ever heard of a monster on the roof?"
Mateusz: "Unless it was some sort of tradition."
 
-------------------
 
Mateusz: "Keep your eyes peeled. Unless, there's something here that actually peels eyes. In which case, don't let it peel them."
 
--------------------
 
GM: Carved into the circle in the center are the roman numerals 1 through 10, where each of the red robed individuals are.
Mateusz: "It's like a fancy clock... in... the metric system..."
 
--------------------
 
Letizia and Mateusz come across a tunnel only big enough to crawl through.
 
Letizia: "This way."
Mateusz: "I'll go in first."
 
Letizia starts crawling through the tunnel.
 
Mateusz: "I *said* I'll go in first!"
Letizia: "I'm smaller."
 
Mateusz crawls in after Letizia...
 
Mateusz: "Not by much."
Mateusz: "On second thought..."
 
Mateusz keeps his eyes ahead of him...
 
GM: The tunnel Letizia and Mateusz are traveling down goes on for about 20 feet before exiting out into a medium sized room. As they come out they hear the sound of guns being cocked. That's when they notice the four men in Nazi uniforms holding MP40's at them. Their skin is a strange shade of white-ish grey.
 
Letizia stares at the Nazis for a moment.
 
Mateusz: "If we die, I just want you to know that I enjoyed looking at you in the tunnel."
 
Letizia can't help but giggle.
 
Letizia: "If we don't die, I will kill you."
 
-----------------------
 
Mateusz: Okay... there will be Nazis there. Here's the plan. Step one, I will run in and kill everything. There is no step two.

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..."

‘Kris’ is a FH Elf mage with powers relating to Darkness, Chaos, and Demonology:
 
NPC introduces Kris to the group.
Xentos: Oh great. I don’t know if I can handle another elf.
NPC: Oh, Kris isn’t your average happy-go-lucky, moonlight-and-faywine elf.
Kris: I fart darkness.

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?"
