    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
     
    During a fantasy game (it's not D&D, but has many trappings thereof), GM trying to work out, with a player, how her half-elf met a halfling in the party.
     
    DM: "Well, the halfling lands are between the elves and humans ... you could just hang out there. The halflings aren't judgemental; they don't care if you're impure."
    Me: "They don't care about your genetics, either."
     
    After my character, a monk/mystic warrior type, uses one of those 'wagon-wheels-with-candles-style-hanging-chandeliers' to do the classing swinging-kick move.
    Me: "I learned how to fight from Jackie Chan."
    Next round, I flub my acrobatics check to perform a stunt, and slam shoulder-first into a support beam, taking damage.
    Other Player: "Yep, you definitely learned how to fight from Jackie Chan ... mostly his outtakes reels."

    Fury: Did I miss 'let's randomly beat the hell out of somebody' night again?
     
    Caleb notices a woman's zombielike state... "You're not interested in me for my brains, are you?"
     
    Caleb: Why do all the women interested in me have to be psycho or zombies!
    Suicide: Maybe it's your aftershave...

    Here's the secret to writing a book, CF... start one page at a time. I'm not kidding.
     
    I'll use me as an example (have other friends who are authors, and not just Skaramine, and they'd agree with this example). My book started with a dream (real honest to God sleeping at night dream).
     
    I fell asleep listening to music, as I sometimes do. (The song in question, by the way, is "Nail's Gift" from Dragonball Z, a beautiful piece of music). And in my sleep, I had a dream about Goku and a woman standing side by side at the edge of Kami's Lookout, which is a castle way way WAY up in the clouds high above the earth.
     
    I thought, "What a great idea for a painting." Woke up enough to jot down what I'd seen in my head, then went back to sleep.
     
    Next day, I looked at my notes and started doodling, and then I thought to myself, "I wonder if there's a story in this..." Namely, who the woman was I had dreamed about standing there with Goku. Then bit by bit, I kept adding to it.
     
    One page became a twelve page short story.
     
    Then I wanted to see what happened before and after that short story, so I kept going.
     
    At last count now, a little over a year later, that one page of notes has been expanded into 310 8.5x11 pages. It's like the damned thing wrote itself.
     
     
    The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step and a cash advance. Don't worry yet about where you're going. Just get going.

    have had a number of good ones over the years, but right off the top of my head, I'd have to say my all time favorites came from an old Runequest campaign.
     
    First quote was from an Elven character (elves are plants in Glorantha) after being soundly torched by a dream dragon.
     
    "Mind if I smoke?"
     
    The other occured after our resident Storm-god following semi berserker barbarian duck found himself, yet again, lying on the ground missing a limb

    Also, while I'm thinking about it Skaramine (totally tangential thinking here), I found about 20 renditions of the Mack Bolan original artwork (some site has the original oils for sale, so I swiped a few of their posted pics), so as soon as I come up with some nifty text, I'll start working on YOUR trailer.
     
    I would have used the covers of the books, but I don't want the text all over them, kinda ruins the look of things in my opinion.
     
    And I have about four or five ideas for the "music" for the trailer.
     
    Don't I rock?

    I wish there was a way I could post it on the board, but 1) it's way too big, 2) it takes way too long for most people to download it, and 3) it's not an officially sanctioned trailer, so I'd get in a metric assload of trouble for it.

    I know how it feels, though. I'm getting tired of my phone ringing with my creditors on the other end, and knowing I can't give them anything because we threw all our additional cash into getting a car fixed that now we can't even drive.

    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?

    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:

    Player's are trying to track down a stolen vehicle that is related to a plot concerning the molemen (Subterrans), Jennifer Lopez, and Foxbat.
     
    The molemen are very well known for operating UNDERGROUND.
     
    The player's are able to get the exact longitude and lattitude of the van from the recovery tracking system. They go there, and it is in the middle of the woods, with nothing around, and nothing looks disturbed.
     
    The Batman character has spend some time searching the ground for signs of disturbance and digging.
     
    After looking for a long while the team speedster pipes in "I just thought of something, maybe it is underground?"
     
    Which was of course obvious to all the other characters and players.
     
    Of course from there the characters get a backhoe and start digging and PREDICTABLY fall into the underground cave, backhoe and all (someone won't be getting their backhoe rental deposit back).

    The Devil
     
    Hello, nice to see you all again.
    Now, as the more perceptive of you have probably realised by now, this is Hell, and I am the Devil. Good evening. You can call me Toby, if you like - we try and keep things informal here, as well as infernal. That's just a little joke.
    Now, you're all here for eternity, which I hardly need tell you is a sod of a long time, so you get to know everyone pretty well by the end, but for now I'm going to have to split you up into groups. Are there any questions? Yes?
    Um, no, I'm afraid we don't have any toilets... if you'd read your Bible you would have seen that it was damnation without relief. So, if you didn't go before you came then I'm afraid you're not going to enjoy yourself very much... but then, I believe that's the idea.
    Right, let's split you up then.
    Can you all hear me still?
    CAN YOU HEAR ME AT THE RACK?
    All right, off we go...
    Murderers, over here. Looters and pillagers - over there please, thieves if you could join them, and bank managers...
    Fornicators, if you could step forward - my God there are a lot of you. Could I split you up into adulterers and the rest? Adulterers if you could just form a line in front of that small guillotine there.
    Okay...
    Americans, are you here? Look, I'm sorry about this, apparently God had some fracas with your founding fathers and damned the entire race into perpetuity. He sends particular condolences to the Mormons who He realises put in a lot of work. That's the way the wafer crumbles. The Iranians, I'm afraid, can't be with us - someone's been holding them in purgatory for about nine months.
    Sodomites, over there against the wall.
    Atheists! Atheists? Over here please. You must be feeling a right bunch of charlies.
    Okay, and Christians! Christians? Ah yes, I'm sorry, I'm afraid the Jews were right.
    Okay, Moonies, maniacs, marmite eaters, male models, masochists, mass murderers and masseurs, if you could take a pew at the back - with the Methodists that is.
    Now, you're the lot who used to kill whales, is that right? Ah, yes, I must remember - I've got some strips to tear off you bastards later.
    Everyone who saw Monty Python's "Life of Brian" - I'm afraid He can't take a joke after all.
    Alright now, one final thing. We're trying to implement some kind of exchange scheme with the Lord God Almighty, or Cliff as we know him. Some of you will travel up and have a decade in heaven and we're having some angels down here. Now, I hardly need tell you that in heaven you will be expected to behave in an exemplary manner, so I hope you will do the exact opposite - tear off their wings, use their haloes for frisbee practice, that sort of thing.
    Well, I have to go now, unfortunately, but Beelzebub here will show you the ropes ... and the chains, and electrodes.
    I'd just like to leave you with a favorite joke of mine, if I may. Quite apt to the circumstances, I think. It goes something like this:
    Knock, knock!
    Who's there?
    Death.
    Death wh...!
     
    A Warm Welcome
     
    Ah hello!. It's nice to see you all here. As the more perceptive of you probably realised by now, this is Hell. And I am the Devil (good evening), but you can call me Toby, if you like. We try to keep things informal in here, as well as infernal. That's just a little joke of mine. I tell it every time.
    Now, you're all here for... eternity! Ooh! Which I hardly need tell you is a heck of a long time, so you'll all get to know each other pretty well by the end. But for now I'm going to have to split you up in groups. WILL YOU STOP SCREAMING! Thank you.
    Now, murderers? Murderers over here, please. Thank you. Looters and pillagers over there. Thieves, if you could join them, and lawyers, you're in that lot too.
    Fornicators, if you could step forward? My God, there are a lot of you! Could I split you up into adulterers and the rest? Male adulterers, if you could just form a line in front of that small guillotine in the corner.
    Em... the French, are you here? If you could just like to come down here with the Germans. I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about.
    Okay, atheists? Atheists over here please. You must be feeling a right bunch of nitwits. Never mind. And finally, Christians. Christians? Ah, yes, I'm sorry but I'm afraid the Jews were right. If you would come down here, that would be really fine.
    Okay! Right, well, are there any questions? Yes?
    No, I'm afraid there aren't any toilets. If you read your Bible, you might have seen that it was damnation without relief, so if you did not go before you came, then I'm afraid you're not going to enjoy yourself very much... but then I believe that's the idea.
    Okay. Well, it's over to you, Adolf! And I'll catch you all later at the barbecue. Bye!

    Well, here's the first few, to give you an idea... you will notice that some characters are more represented than others, because I actually figured out how to sort in MS Word by the LAST word, not the first!
     
    In no storyboard order, some quotes from the book...
     
     
    Don’t you have any sense at all? What made you lose what you had left of your mind? - Bulma
     
    How can you ask me to just sit and watch as you die? I want to save you, but I don’t know how! Please, Kurenai, you’ve got to tell me how! - Gohan
     
    I’m not going to be kept from doing the right thing just because I’m a child. – Gohan
     
    You know, I think Piccolo really should find a girlfriend. - Gohan
     
    I truly thought… you understood. I thought you understood that Kurenai is a friend, and how important my friends are to me. I thought you understood that I never wanted Kurenai to come between you and me. I thought you understood that I was telling you the truth when I said it was forever. But now, I see that you don’t understand at all. And now that I see that, I would rather die as her friend than live as your husband. - Goku
     
    YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME! - Goku
     
    You feel powerful for being able to reach the stars, but at the same time, you feel so small in comparison to them. - Goku
     
    She loved all of you so much that she chose death rather than live knowing you never loved her in return. - Kami
     
    Every day must have mystery and beauty, joy and passion and danger and sorrow, no matter how small. - Kurenai
     
    I wasn’t trying to make fun of you, I was trying to meditate like you do, but it’s damned hard. I feel so tense that all I can think of is how my jaw hurts from clenching it. - Kurenai
     
    I… WILL TAKE YOU… WITH ME… STRAIGHT… TO… HELL! - Kurenai
     
    It’s cold… the fear, it’s so cold, like I’ll never be warm again. No matter how much I try, I can’t make it stop, I can’t keep the chill away… You’re not afraid of anything, are you, Piccolo? So afraid that it chills your soul and the world seems dark? - Kurenai
     
    No… one… can… catch… me… now… - Kurenai
     
    Oh, that’s rich! A low-life, arrogant, stuck-up, stubborn, callous, cold-hearted bastard of a prince, who wouldn’t know what love was if it came up and screwed him, has the unmitigated gall to tell me how to live with my feelings?!? – Kurenai
     
    Scientists say that no two snowflakes are ever the same… Imagine that… all this snow, year after year, and no two the same. Like people in a way. A lot of us look alike, and even ARE alike in certain ways, but never quite the same. - Kurenai
     
    You can’t understand, Goku. Finding moments of beauty in a lifetime of eternity is so hard, because everything becomes the same after a while. You have no idea how lucky you are, you and Gohan and ChiChi and the rest. You know how to live, because you know that someday, you're going to die, and you don't know when. You don't know when the sun won’t rise for you, you don't know if you’ll live to see the next sunset. You don’t have forever, Goku. I do. – Kurenai
     
    Does the fact that he is not your son make his life any less valuable to you? - Omega
     
    Why should I care about the life of one woman when I’m on the verge of becoming a god! - Omega
     
    Damn them, damn all of them to the depths of hell for hurting you like this. And damn me for almost not being able to save you from them. - Piccolo
     
    Do you always expect your opponents to fight fair? - Piccolo
     
    Everyone is afraid of something… and the fear can tear at you and wear you down until you think you’re going to go insane. When that happens, you have to hold on, hold on tight to something that strengthens your soul. Darkness can’t last forever, nor can fear. - Piccolo
     
    It’s like… heaven itself is weeping… - Piccolo
     
    It’s not you, Kurenai. It’s just me being utterly baffled by this thing you humans call infatuation. Caring, I can understand. Loyalty, friendship, love in a non-romantic way, I get. This romance thing just confuses the hell out of me. - Piccolo
     
    Romance sounds like a lot of hassle for nothing. - Piccolo
     
    What are your dreams? As you dream in the night, what does your heart call out for? Do you dream of Vegeta, or of Goku? Do you ever dream of me? - Piccolo
     
    Then see the power of your ‘creation’… and then consider your own folly for eternity… in hell. - Shiryu
     
    You are my avatar, my chosen… your body holds my power…together, we will stop this evil. - Shiryu
     
    All my life, I have faced fear, blind, heart-stopping fear, and sometimes, the cold horror of death. I even walked through its door once, and I thought myself numbed to it. But… the pain, the fear, the death, none of it has prepared me for this, for what I face now, this… emptiness. - Vegeta
     
    I am here to purchase jewelry for this woman. That does not mean I am betrothed, engaged, or in any way romantically involved with her! - Vegeta
     
    Warriors are cold and heartless, we live by strength alone. To be distracted by emotion is a mistake I will not allow myself to make. No matter how much… I might want it. - Vegeta
     
    Were I any other man, I would love you until the stars fell from the sky… but I will never love, not even you. - Vegeta
     
     
    I know, a lot are disgustingly sappy, but it's MY book, dammit, so deal with it.
     
    Rep is always nice, too, in addition to feedback.
    So I'm a rep whore, so what?

    Thanks for the rep, JAGN... To honor your favorite ranking officer from UNIT, I offer these great quotes from Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart.
     
    Who, now that I think about it, would make a great NPC in a military based Champions game...
     
     
    Brigadier: [on the superpowers of Russia, the U.S., and China giving their nuclear missile codes to a neutral power] Naturally enough, the only country that could be trusted with such a role was Great Britain.
    The Doctor: Naturally. I mean, the rest were all foreigners.
     
    Brigadier: [on the Doctor] As long as he does the job, he can wear what face he likes.
     
    Brigadier: Most of their work's so secret, they don't know what they're doing themselves.
     
    Brigadier: A dream? Really, Doctor. You'll be consulting the entrails of a sheep next.
     
    Brigadier: In the last decade, we've been sending probes deeper and deeper into space. We've drawn attention to ourselves, Miss Shaw.
     
    Brigadier: [ordering his men to fire on a monster] Chap with the wings - five rounds, rapid.
     
    Brigadier: You've been agitating for a new assistant ever since Miss Shaw went back to Cambridge.
    The Doctor: Liz was a highly-qualified scientist. I want someone with the same qualifications.
    Brigadier: Nonsense. What you need, Doctor, as Miss Shaw has so often remarked, is someone to pass you your test tubes and to tell you how brilliant you are. Miss Grant will fulfill that function admirably.

    I keep a monstrous collection of weird quotes and things on my computer... for your amusement this afternoon, I offer the following:
     
    "A slipping gear could let your M203 grenade launcher fire when you least expect it. That would make you quite unpopular in what's left of your unit." - In the August 1993 issue, page 9, of PS Magazine, the Army's magazine of preventive maintenance.
     
    "When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap." - Cynthia Heimel, "Lower Manhattan Survival Tactics" in Village Voice
     
    "You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace who wasn't immune to bullets." - Brigadier Lethbridge-Stuart (Doctor Who)
     
    "The most valuable function performed by the federal government is entertainment."
     
    "One of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs." - Robert Firth
     
    "As you leave here today and head out on the road of life, you'll find that there are never enough comfort stops. And the places that you're going are not on the map. And you'll find that once you get that map open, you won't be able to re-fold it no matter how smart you are. So you know what I say? Forget the map - roll down the windows and pull over by the side of the road and have a picnic." - Kermit the Frog, commencement speech at Oxford University
