    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
     
    I was running my Zombie Apocalypse game, with several long-time friends.
     
    The three PC's and one NPC are on the top of a sporting goods store that they and their survivor group has been holed up in for a couple of days, as they prep to leave L.A.
     
    The three PC's are Jordan, a gorgeous LAPD "kiddie cop" (think of Eliza Dushku in the LAPD uniform. Now youre on track), Eric, a recently-graduated high-school athletic star who was about to turn pro before the world ended (looks like Tom Welling), and Gabriel, a six foot ten EMT ambulance driver (who looks like Abraham Benrubi). The NPC with them is most often referred to as "Conspiracy Man", and goes only by the name of Ed. Despite a few comments about the "alien overlords" and the "flouride mind-control policy", they nevertheless gave Ed a rifle, as they had just raided a pawn shop, and his oddly useful skill-set was instrumental in their success. (They suspect he is ex military, and has seen too much).
     
    The group has recently discovered that there are a few more survivors trapped on the fourht floor of a building about a block away from their own hideout. The people trapped in the office building have smashed out a window and hung a sign out of it written on a drape that says "Help Us".
     
    As the characters are deciding what to do next, the sounds of gunfire erupt from a rooftop a few buildings away. The characters look around, and realize that it is coming from four gang-banger types who are taking shots at the "Help Us" sign, and the people behind it. (These are people with the same mentality as those who were shooting at police, ambulances, and fire fighters during the L.A.riots).
     
    Jordan, the cop, is the first to spot the perps. She aims her rifle at them. The others follow suit. I tell them that one is shooting, another has a rifle also, and there are two others with pistols besides. They look like they are in their early twenties, of mixed ethnicity, and are wearing loose clothes with alot of sports team endorsements. Jordan makes a Perception roll and recognizes them as wearing local gang colors.
     
    Ed: Firing order?
     
    Jordan: Im taking down the shooter.
     
    Ed: Ill take the other one who has a rifle.
     
    Eric and Gabriel's Players both indicate they are also going to fire. I ask them to pick targets. And then...
     
    Gabriel's Player: Ill shoot whichever one has the most underwear showing.
     
     
     
     
    After we all finally stopped laughing, Garbiel then proceeded to randomly hit the unlucky s.o.b. in Location 13. For near-max damag,e and maximum Stun.
     
    I guess Gabriel -really- didnt want to see that guys underwear!
     
    (Edit: If this post accidentally offends anyone out there who habitually "busts a sag"... TOUGH! Pull your gorram pants up!)

I tell them that one is shooting, another has a rifle also, and there are two others with pistols besides. They look like they are in their early twenties, of mixed ethnicity, and are wearing loose clothes with alot of sports team endorsements. Jordan makes a Perception roll and recognizes them as wearing local gang colors.
     
    Ed: Firing order?
     
    Jordan: Im taking down the shooter.
     
    Ed: Ill take the other one who has a rifle.
     
    Eric and Gabriel's Players both indicate they are also going to fire. I ask them to pick targets. And then...
     
    Gabriel's Player: Ill shoot whichever one has the most underwear showing.
     
     
     
     
    After we all finally stopped laughing, Garbiel then proceeded to randomly hit the unlucky s.o.b. in Location 13. For near-max damag,e and maximum Stun.
     
    I guess Gabriel -really- didnt want to see that guys underwear!

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
     
    I was running my Zombie Apocalypse game, with several long-time friends.
     
    The three PC's and one NPC are on the top of a sporting goods store that they and their survivor group has been holed up in for a couple of days, as they prep to leave L.A.
     
    The three PC's are Jordan, a gorgeous LAPD "kiddie cop" (think of Eliza Dushku in the LAPD uniform. Now youre on track), Eric, a recently-graduated high-school athletic star who was about to turn pro before the world ended (looks like Tom Welling), and Gabriel, a six foot ten EMT ambulance driver (who looks like Abraham Benrubi). The NPC with them is most often referred to as "Conspiracy Man", and goes only by the name of Ed. Despite a few comments about the "alien overlords" and the "flouride mind-control policy", they nevertheless gave Ed a rifle, as they had just raided a pawn shop, and his oddly useful skill-set was instrumental in their success. (They suspect he is ex military, and has seen too much).
     
    The group has recently discovered that there are a few more survivors trapped on the fourht floor of a building about a block away from their own hideout. The people trapped in the office building have smashed out a window and hung a sign out of it written on a drape that says "Help Us".
     
    As the characters are deciding what to do next, the sounds of gunfire erupt from a rooftop a few buildings away. The characters look around, and realize that it is coming from four gang-banger types who are taking shots at the "Help Us" sign, and the people behind it. (These are people with the same mentality as those who were shooting at police, ambulances, and fire fighters during the L.A.riots).

    Something just made my brain click onto this exchange from a con game a few months back.
     
    As we go into the final battle, the Master Villain is revealed to be... my character's Evil Twin Brother! Naturally, we square off. As we close to HtH range:
     
    Brother: "Dad always thought you were better than me!"
    Me: "Dad was right!"
     
    After which, he crit'ed me across the room, and I spent the next couple turns digging myself out of the wall

    Hi all. Im going to try to post a pic or two. Im a semi-professional artist; my roomate and I drew all the cardboard figures for the "Stand-Ins" line available at RPGnow.com. (We did alot of the coloring too, but the editors wife did some also).
     
    Anyway, for a long time now weve used what we call "Heroforms"; blank figures that I drew a while back, just to give a good idea of the overall costume. Im going to try to post the costume for Revenant. Hes our current campaigns "dark brooding avenger of the night" type. Hope you all like him

    Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group...
     
    This ones' from a Champions game I ran a few years ago...
     
    The characters had gone to see a concert by one of the oldest rock bands still around, the Standing Stones (basically the campaign world's analogue to the Rolling Stones). Early on, they get gouged for ticket prices, and people comment.
     
    It turns out that the Standing Stones are secretly a group of black-magic creatures; the lead singer is basically a Death Knight, the drummer is basically a Liche, the lead guitarist is an animated Wood Golem (created as a guard) and the bassist is a Vampire.
     
    A harrowing fight ensues, during which the Standing Stones almost kill Mockingbird, one of the team's heroines and a very well-loved character. Her fiancee goes basically bananas, and while usually the heroes capture villians, this time Starfire, the plasma-projecting flying energy blaster, just has a total freak-out, and systematically destroyes the Standing Stones, one by one.
     
    And looking at the carnage of their remains, strewn about the stage in front of thousands of horrified fans, Silk, the little blonde martial artist with the spirit of an Eastern Gold Dragon bound into her (basically looking like Buffy in a costume) says this...
     
    "Gee...*toes at a bit of smouldering remains of what had minutes before been the worlds most widely-know rock band*...if they know it was going to be their last show...they could have charged more"

    Okay, different game, same player. Our characters are all high-school students who have recently found out that we have been granted super-powers by ancient Gods. The aforementioned player's character is named Michael, and hes a football player...and the most popular boy in our grade...and hes smart...and hes also a nice guy (which makes people secretly hate him even more, especially Eric the nerd whom nobody notices when Michael's around).
     
    Michael is the only one of us with a car, so hes picking people up so that we can go outside of town and practice with our new powers. He arrives at the home of Indira, who was raised in California, but whose parents immigrated to the US from India.
     
    Indira drags Michael inside to meet her mother, thinking that this will somehow defuse her mothers temper, if she gets to meet the boy with the car. Apparently it didnt work out as well as shed hoped...and Michael didnt really help, but you gotta give the guy credit for guts, when the following exchange takes place...
     
    Indiras mother: Very well....I agree to allow my daughter to accompany you in your car....BUT!...if you impregnate my daughter, i shall call down a thousand thousand curses upon you!
     
    Michael *looks thoughtful for a half second*: ....Thats fair.
