Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Which is why the Spectre never calls it that.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Spectre - "Yes, and look where the over-reaching powers of the federal government have landed us today." He knows, he knows.

Re: Your FIRST Super Hero Character A mutant who was immune to fire and heat (I forget what I named him). His weapon of choice was a fuel-can and a zippo lighter. He would light himself up and bounce amongst the enemy whilst giggling maniacally. Hey, I was 15 and it was that other game back in '93.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... As the GM and being particularly proud of this session, I figured that I would take this chance to post the City on the Edge quotes for this week, seeing as Drhoz is likely sleeping as I post this. Yes, this campaign normally takes place in a CU-related setting, but this is the first in the Edge City 3D arc. The Edge Issue #104 - Hell's Kitchen "Yes, we have a problem. The kitchen staff are going to be in-between supers and demons, but that won't scare them off - they live in terror of the chef" And a Rule 1 violation meant Gordon Ramsey was filming on the premises GM: "It's a large commercial kitchen - there's some 82 innocent bystanders" Zero: "Apart from Gordon Ramsey - you can hit him" Terminus: "Everybody shoot Talisman first! *various energy blasts, EGO attacks, etc, ensue* They actually listened to me!" Zero : "Sorry, you said something?" GM: "The hideous tentacled thing takes a swing at Trawler... And hits you... In the thirteens." Zero : "Hentai monster!" Trawler : "They always hit me in the thirteens!" Zero : "You need a cup" Stentorian (OOC): "Have you got seperate Speed stats for Gordon Ramsey and his mouth?" Trawler yanks a one-tonne steel table out of the ground, from between the kitchen hands Trawler : "Excuse me whilst I borrow this" Trawler throws it at the demonic sargeant, who ignores 14 inches of knockback and 19 Body, and shrugs out of the steel now wrapped around him. Trawler : "Hey! Something solid to throw things against!" Gordon Ramsey is trampled unconcious in the chef stampede. Zero : "Either way, we win this battle! Felicity : "Where's the tentacular mass that grawled Troper? I mean, groped Trawler?" Tentacular Mass OOC: "I'm hitting him in the balls and I'm hurting my hand?!" Zero stumbles across the disguised Sword of Glory ( literally ) Sword of Glory : "Welcome swordbearer - together we will slay many enemies." Zero : "Would it be wrong to reply 'Can we start with my mother?'" The rest of the PCs turn around to see Zero talking to himself, waving a meat cleaver and smiling strangely. The remains of the demons dissolve and evaporate. GM : "Welcome to Nightbane Earth - land of the self-cleaning monsters" The casino kitchen is left out of commission for a month, the BBC has video footage of a demon vs. supers fight on a world unaware of either, and Gordon Ramsey was trampled, on camera. Terminus: "I guess this counts as a Kitchen Nightmare" Avatar detours to dump a demon weapon into a white dwarf star, and returns to Groom Lake four hours later. Avatar : "Sorry I'm late, I went via Sirius B" Local scientists and engineers stare, and start to gibber. Stentorian : "Ever noticed people start sounding like Beaker from the Muppets whenever Avatar is around?" Zero : "Secondary mutation" Trawler : "Avatar, don't bother trying to explain how you do that" Stentorian : "Warp space, not minds." Terminus debriefs the locals on how well things went. Terminus: "Oh, and I got to gut-shoot Talisman - it's been a brilliant day!"

Re: 3 I think it also has something to do with the fact that we have trouble keeping track of all the different End-Of-The-World threats that keep cropping up in and around Nebraska.

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

Re: 3 It's a serious campaign with light hearted moments.

Re: 3 Given that the Spectre was an Abolitionist before and after the war, it is safe to say that he would dislike being listed as her owner, but he wouldn't object. If he did, 3 would become "upset" and then the Spectre has to placate her... *sigh*.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... "Inyuk-chuk"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Of course. you realize that James Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Justin Timberlake are all going to make an appearance, fighting the good fight against the supernatural tyranny of the Ba'al-ze-neckt.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I'm prepping another character. Not just talking about who I might bring in to replace The Spectre, I'm actually writing up Shadowfire. I just have to remember the athletic cup, in case Felicity survives.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From last night's Star Wars game, I have been having a significant run of critical hits which has been having me say in EVERY SESSION, "I'm not this good!". Another character is a former Padawan who "washed out", mainly because there wasn't a Master to take him on as an apprentince. Me (OCC): "Show us how it's done, oh Jedi Master." Fireleaper (OCC): "I'm not a Jedi!" Me (OCC): "I'm not that good!" chorused with the other players and GM "He's not that good!"

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Actually, this was the Spectre's only intelligible response for about five minutes, also.

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

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Worse, it was from our team's learned mage, to the champions, in their conference room, where we had come out of the closet of. (Why a conference room has a closet, I don't know.) The thing that keeps annoying Defender about this, is that when we go back through the door to the closet, we close it after ourselves, but when they open it less than a second later, it's an empty closet. I love inter-dimensional gates.

Re: Shadows into Light In our defence, Sundog initiated that fight, and I did go out of my way to prove that he was undead before we did anything permanent.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From last weeks Kingdom City campaign, the party is being entertained by the local Færie duke, in an effort to get the southern gate moved somewhere less troublesome (ie. not in our city). The Gunny has negotiated a deal that would accomplish this, but he first needs to complete three tasks for the duke, and he feels that he could use the help of the rest of the party. The Gunny: Well, I think I've worked something out, but... The Spectre: I want a Zeppelin. The rest of the Party: The Spectre: No one does Zeppelins any more. I'm feeling nostalgic. Later... The Gunny: So, that's what we need to do. Can I count on your help? The Spectre: I'll do it, but only if you do something for me in return. The Gunny: What's that? The Spectre: You build me a Zeppelin.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... From a Robotech game a LONG time ago (i.e. before I started using my Mekton Zeta conversions). The setting was the SDF-1 as it made it's way back to earth, the party was a squadron of Valkyrie/Veritech pilots who would have probably never been allowed to fly if the ship hadn't been fighting for it's survival on a almost daily basis. Starfox: The brass is become more and more convinced that we're completely insane. Rabid: I'm not crazy. I was tested. Hellion: Yes, and you probably cheated on that test. Rabid: No proof. <_<

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... There's always The Stormovik.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Three times, the company rep had to acknowledge Tesla's work, but then explain why their system will actually work. "Our system only loses less than point three percent energy." I was somewhat insulted actually. Weldun isn't psychopathic at all. In fact, he has only used the Sonenschwert (a blessed, flaming, anti-metamorph Zweihänder) against a Vampire, a Four-Door Sedan and a Demon Cultist. The instant that left my mouth, I knew that we had a quote. I was referring, of course, to the fact that The Spectre has no scarring of any sort. I'm just glad he didn't read that another way. "I had your concubine, but decided to bed this bi-sexual Goth-chick instead.":sneaky: You realize, of course, that her comments about finishing her studies eslewhere mean that she's going to show up in a couple of years to kick our butts with Major Bad@$$ Mojo.

Re: Is it really so wrong? Yeah, while the inspiration for some of my plots/npcs might be toys, I definitely play them gritty. The teams mentalist taking a shot to the head from a hunting rifle wielded by a Care-Bear rip-off is one example.

Re: Is it really so wrong? Another installment in my '80s trek. See if you recognize these names. Nemesis Enforcer Pythona Yes, they use biological gadgets, and yes they come from a hidden underground city of reptile people in the Himalayas.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... The other solution is to say"Um, let's take a break for 15 minutes while I figure out the full ramifications of this." Yes, it breaks the flow of the game, but it does it less than calling it 15 minutes in, and far less than railroading.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Collie, go easy on the poor guy/gal. You just hit CrosshairCollie's biggest button right there. You basically said that the GM's plot is more important than rewarding the players for creative thinking. "Toot-toot, let's all ride on the plot train!" Me, I let the player get the success, and scramble around for some OTHER way to guide the players to part of the plot, or move it behind the scenes, if they haven't actually handed the macguffin yet.
