Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
This is from last weekend's HERO game.
 
Joey Flame is a mutant blaster who's body is constantly superheated to the point that being near him saps your endurance; get closer and you take damage.
Tractor Jack is a super-strong, nigh-invulnerable rock-like being with Downs Syndrome and W.F. Rebar.
These two are particularly close friends in the supergroup because Jack is more or less immune to the intense heat generated by Joey's body. Joey is just glad he has someone he can hang out with.
 
Our intrepid heroes have just managed to save a senator from the clutches of VIPER. The senator is understanably thrilled with the heroes' performance and assures them that he will do anything in his power to help them out in the future.
 
Joey and Jack look at each other and enthusiastically yell "Indestructable fooseball table!" in unison.
 
All the bloody things they could have asked for, and all they want is a fooseball table that Joey won't melt and Jack won't rip apart. These guys, I tell ya...

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The PCs have come to a submarine-hatch-like door; behind it is ...
 
Me: "A 5'x5' vertical shaft, descending into total pitch blackness and eerie silence."
Player1:"That shaft is one bad mother--"
Player2:"SHUT YO' MOUTH!"
Player1:"I'm just talkin' about the shaft."

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
 
The characters:
Joey Flame - mutant blaster type with, you guessed it, fire powers.
The Wraith - ghost of some poor schlep killed in a super-battle years ago.
 
The situation:
Joey has been captured by VIPER agents and is being held in a non-descript cell in an unknown area. The Wraith followed along with the intent to break JF out at the best opportunity. Joey has the Disadvantage Psy Lim: Phobia of Ghosts and the Supernatural; obviously, these two have difficulties when they're paired up.
 
Wraith: (Phasing into the cell and becoming visible) Joey, I'm here to take you home.
Joey Flame: Oh, Jesus! Guard! Guard! The Grim Reaper is here, you gotta lemme out! Please! (and similar panicking)
Guard: Well, thats a new take on the whole "sick prisoner" routine...
 
Figuring a better way to approach the situation, the Wraith Skin-rides (Mind Control with Melding) the guard and opens the door.
 
Wraith: Joey, it's just me, Sam. Just relax... I've taken this guard's body, you have nothing to be scared of.
Joey: (calmed this time cuz he made his EGO roll) Sam... you think the idea that I'm dealing with a dead guy possessing the body of a terrorist is somehow calming?
Wraith: (after a long pause) Undead. You want out or not?
