    Similar to what happened to my wife in a grocery store.
    She's a tour guide at Best Friends, a large animal sanctuary and this woman ran into her at the supermarker in town.
    The woman comes up to my wife and says "Would you like to meet the twins?" while reaching into her shirt. Turns out she had a pair of chipmunk babies being kept warm in her bossum.

    From my Dark Champions game at GenCon: The game opened up with the members of LIBRA being set up, so needless to say they're a bit ticked. Especially Sarge, as he has a thing about plans that don't work out. Once they find the first of their street contacts, Sarge tells Blade to come with him and pull his biggest knife (actually a machete).
     
    Sarge to contact: "Now, we can do this the easy way or the cutlery way."

    First post, and I picked this thread.
     
    Was in a D&D game where our group had to slip buy the sleeping dragon to exit the cave 'o' doom, of course the dragon was not sleeping.
     
    As the group was midway between entrance and exit, the dragon woke up.
     
    (We were at the time about 7-8 level, Dragon VERY old and powerful, that's why we were sneaking)
     
    Dragon says "What are you doing in my home?"
     
    There was a pause as the group was looking at each other for ideas when the Rogue - Bard spoke up, from behind by Cavalier I might add.
     
    "We are here to kick YOUR a**, and take YOUR gold" with finger pointing at all the right moments.
     
    The group did make it out of the mountain (without gear) but our poor Rogue - Bard Pencinious was no more.

    boardgame rather than RPG, by me in the middle of Judge Dredd.
     
    Background. In the game you visit various sectors where crimes are reported and you then arrest the criminals responsible. This is against the other players who are playing Judges as well. If you get killed you go to the hospital and then have to come out and start trying to arrest someone elsewhere. But the vendettas the game spawns can be legendary and such fun as you seek to deprive the other judges of arrests usually by sending them to hospital or away from a crime.
     
    So the quote.

    Necessary Evil game...
     
    Our villains... on the run... come across some suped up gang types working with a K'tharin and using V'sori tech. My mini-brick Cannonball and an atlantean female fugitive (no name we know yet. I call her fish-girl.) are fighting the K'tharin... a giant humanoid shark alien.
     
    I finally land a massive blow, taking him down after a difficult struggle.
     
    As the shark dude drops.
     
    Fish-Girl: batting eyelashes and saying sweetly... "You could have at least let me land that last blow."
     
    Cannonball: "Oh... uh..." bending over and lifting the body, "I can hold him up for you!"

    Fish-girl suddenly goes psycho and begins stab/blasting the quickly dead K'tharin over and over again with her electro-lance!
     
    Cannonball: "YIPES!" dropping the body as it jerks and twitches under her assualt. "Aaaahhh!! It's a fish fry!"

    From Saturday's Champions game.
     
    The PCs are invited back to the Homestead after stopping the Horizon Casino from robbed and/or demolished. When Defender asks the PCs if they are willing to trust the Champions and work with them, Midnight (my PC) looks at him and says, "I'll show my face if you show yours."
     
    He thinks for a moment, obviously weighing this one up, then he removes his face plate. At which point Midnight stares, and then bursts out in uproarious laughter as she removes her own mask and hat. Defender stares at her, his jaw hanging open in disbelief as he realizes that Midnight is, in fact, the multimillionaire playgirl gambler who owns the estate next to his.
     
    Defender: "You're s***ing me."

    New Man, the team mentalist, had just been ambushed and eviscerated by a rogue vampire. He was at -5 BODY, and dying.
     
    Me: New Man will continue to take one BODY each time he gets an action.
    Thich Nat Han: New Man! Hold your actions!

    Background/History: Dane Sullivan doesn’t talk about the past much anymore. After the stares wear off the inevitable questions start in. He just doesn’t want to deal with it anymore. No, he isn’t from ‘here’, he is from somewhere else. A place where he was a hero, one of the chosen few, he was a super soldier, an avenger, endowed with tremendous abilities through a series of genetic and chemical treatments. With his teammates and colleagues, he worked to promote the cause of justice and the ideals of the American constitution. Sure there were superheroes that did the same thing, roughly, some even operating under government sanction. What Dane and the other avengers did was more traditional law enforcement; they brought the villainous often outright terrorist organizations down through diligence, teamwork, and tight indictments.
    day, though, it all changed. The malefactor de jour unleashed a potent weapon that, according to the brain trust back at HQ, could tear the fabric of space and time asunder. Dane and his squad stormed the hidden redoubt in Washington DC and fought their way through minions and henchmen until they at last confronted the madman. Howling he declared they were too late as he opened the window in creation. “Avengers do not quit!†Dane promised him as he powered on despite the rush of wind and the chaos of light sound and energy that flooded the laboratory.
    thin filament ripped itself free of the portal on the edge of forever created that day; a ribbon of possibility and improbability. Seething with energy it rushed the room, consuming everything it touched. Special Agent Martins was a fresh graduate of the program; a tech boy brought out to the field for this most hazardous of missions. He was crouched low beside a bank of computers trying to override the lockout codes and close the window down. Martins did not see the approaching danger. Dane Sullivan did. Moving as quickly as his enhanced body could move him Dane thrust himself between the ribbon and the obvious tech, hurling the man to safety even as the primal forces ripped him apart.
    knew pain, then silence and for a brief instant peace before he was thrust back into the chaos of the world. Cars whizzed by him as he stood in the street. “What?†he thought as he rapidly took in his new locale: Wisconsin Avenue on a street sign, trendy street corner café there. Dane calculated the new data. “Bethesda, Maryland.†He said out loud. The creep’s device had transported him across the district. He tapped his cochlear microphone and said “SA Sullivan. I’m ok got teleported to Maryland.â€
    didn’t get the response he expected as he picked his way down the street to where he knew was a Metro terminal. He repeated his call and there was still no response. “That light must have destroyed my communicator.†Dane decided. “Still, I’ve got to get back to Southeast DC, no telling what shape the team is in.†So Dane hurried. He was heading for the Metro because of the Agency’s hidden assets stored there: a hover car. That and the communications gear inside would put Dane Sullivan back in the game.
    , when Dane got to the Metro station and swiped his agency pass in the reader nothing happened. He convinced the attendant to allow him to pass. The guy was obviously in awe of the reputation agents like Dane held, that and the armored costume, so he let him past the security gate. Dane ran to the location of the vault and threw open the outer door. Inside was just an electrical closet. Dane started opening doors franticly, his inner sense telling him something was very wrong. He was ripping stucco off the wall of an inner access shaft when Metro police shouted at him.
    rushed past them, they obviously could not help him; every second he wasted his team, no the world was in jeopardy. “I must have the wrong station.†Dane decided as he ran out into the city. He commandeered a car, flashing his badge and leaving a card, he needed to get back.
    he got to the southeast DC lair of the master villain he was surprised not to see the support team in place in cordon around the hidden facility. He also did not recognize the building. Things were really starting to prickle Dane’s senses. The situation was not right.
    back to the agency headquarters didn’t help matters. The facility was simply not in its federal hill location. At a total loss Dane wandered, a hero in armored spandex, alone in a strange land. DC police found him sitting on the steps of the capitol trying to decide his next move. They took him to the station, he didn’t resist. An agency called Checkmate soon secured his release. At Checkmate his story was checked and rechecked. The answers that came back were worse than Dane could have guessed. Dane Sullivan, the agency he worked for, the people he knew, none of existed. Not on this world anyway. He was on a mirror Earth.
    he thought about his options an offer came to him from a curious source. Another top secret US government agency was looking for a metahuman with a strong law enforcement background willing to go deep undercover on a long term assignment. Checkmate vouched for him, his psychiatric advisor endorsed the idea of ‘going and doing and not moping’. Dane Sullivan became the Crimson Avenger the watchdog of the Damocles Directive.
    the Crimson Avenger, Dane traveled the world intervening in threatening situations, running herd on over a dozen of the world’s worst criminals. He lost himself in his work, finding solace by living on the edge. In time he came to bond with the members of his team, especially the last group in Phase Four.
    the preparations began to deploy Phase Five Dane was uneasy. The compliance bracelets had been shown to be defective certainly, but the safety of incorporating alien technology with the human nervous system in the new DEDLOK technology was unproven. When the Liaison triggered the unit on Diva during one of his frequent vindictive periods, it became clear to Dane that the problems were more than suspected. The technicians tried to assure him of the freak nature of the injury.
    wasn’t convinced. The Liaison hurt Astrid to prove a point he was certain. So Dane pulled strings, called in favors he wasn’t certain he held. The results were the first pardons granted in the history of the Damocles Directive: Diva and Hardcase were free. He could taste the bile in the Liaison’s mouth when the older man told him. Dane knew the man hated metahumans, especially criminal metahumans; to let two free galled him.
    took his leave, the big man wanted to see if he could make America work for him. Diva, on the other hand, stayed close to Dane. She accompanied him as he took on assignments for Checkmate and the CIA. Ranging worldwide as a freelance agent, sure the work was very similar to what he did in the Damocles Directive, but he could do it with clear conscience: no one would die because of a choice he made.
     
    Personality/Motivation: Dane still possesses the strong sense of right and wrong and belief in justice that made him a good candidate for the Agency’s supersoldier program. His sense of devotion to his friends and teammates is nearly unbreakable. Dane does not have family or friends in the standard sense. His neighbors barely recognize him; his fridge is empty and his furniture barely existent. Instead his bed is a hard bench on a C-17, his television the screen of a satellite phone. His friends are those that share his peculiar lifestyle: Dane Sullivan is a professional hero.
    harbors deep distrust for the man he refers to as the old man, the Liaison of the Damocles Directive. Mostly for his own blindly following orders; certainly Dane never did anything totally wrong under the orders of the Directive but the situation did not sit well with him after a while.
     
    Quote: Quote:
    “There are two ways we can do this. Don’t make me pick.â€
    about him:
    “He allowed himself to lose perspective. If you wish to employ him in your endeavors take that under advisement.†The Liaison
     
    Powers/Tactics: On his Earth Dane Sullivan underwent a series of treatments that made him a minor metahuman: low level super-strength, durability, and speed. The abilities granted ebbed slightly after his exile to our Earth until the Damocles Directive developed a better gene therapy based on the works of Saul Neuman. As a result the Crimson Avenger can lift a van over his head, and run at speeds approaching 40 miles per hour. The Crimson Avenger is a skilled hand to hand combatant and possesses a broad knowledge base as a special government agent. Peculiarly, the Crimson Avenger has a strong, almost preternatural, danger sense. Dane dismisses it as gut feeling and enhanced senses but regardless his danger antenna has gotten him and his teams out of more scrapes than can be easily dismissed.
    the Crimson Avenger Dane wears combat armor composed of hardened ceramic plates with plenty of web belts and storage pouches. He typically carries a high powered firearm of some sort or another procured from his contacts in the Defense and Justice departments.

    From a quick Arcana Unearthed pick-up game ... I've assembled the closest thing I can to a classic rogue, and he's of a feline race called a Litorian ('Cat Burglar', get it? ), and we wind up prowling though a cavern looking for some lost kids. Since I'm the only one in the party with any appreciable stealth skills, I'm prowling ahead, pulling steady high-20s Sneak checks until the final leg of the exploration ... when I pull an 8.
     
    I get accosted at bowpoint and, when asked what I'm doing here, I start babbling on about why we're there, mentioning that we're looking for lost kids. He says that if he sees them, he'll let me know. My Sense Motive check bombs, but my Listen picks out a couple of muffled voices behind him. I retreat back to the rest of the party.
     
    Insert recap ...
    "... and he said he'd let me know if he saw the kids."
    PC2, a Dracha (dragon-ish): "Was he lying?"
    "He didn't say."

    Andy: Yeah! It's MY turn! Stop stepping on MY turn, "Amazing RANDO!"
     
    Rando: ... sorry.
     
    GM: Okay, Andy, what are you going to do?
     
    Andy: ...I'm just gonna hold my action into 8's and let Rando go.

    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...

    From Team F-up:
     
    Capt. Mysterion: "Leroy? Isn't that the guy you liquified?"
     
    Lillith: "We did NOT liquify him! He got liquified while we were there."
     
     
     
    Later, it was implied Lillith's fiance was gay.
     
    Lillith: "If Angus is gay, he deserves an Oscar. And an AVN award!"
     
    Lillith's houseguest left behind the purchases she made off Home Shopping Network, filling all her spare rooms and closets. Lillith got upset with Benedict questioning Angus' motives.
     
    Lillith: "Get out of my house! And take an Amazing Ab Griller with you!"

    Yesterday i went through the strangest most screwed up dungeons and dragons game ever....ever. It was a one off scenario run with several experienced players and some who had never played it before; free beer soon evened things out so the experience of most players quickly disapeared. To recount it all in its dodgy, dubious morality and freakish glory would take too long so heres an example of something that while being far too long for a quote has the same purpose....
     
    Returning to our rooms to find a murder scene we immediately examine the area for signs of struggle/ clues etc...we find a roll of duct tape and a toy car; in faerun of all places!
     
     
    Read on at your own peril, you have been warned.
     
     
    Barbarian pc: "Are there any signs of injury or abuse?"
     
    GM- "She is stapled to the bed with metal spikes...apart from that no."
     
    Barbarian pc: "I take advantage of the corpse...."
     
    sometime later-------
     
     
    The group has finally broken into Evil Arch-wizardes's tower (as level 1 characters!) after killing several guards working for people suposed to be on our side who are trying to bring the wizardess to justice. We finally arrive at the top (after suffering severe injurys due to 'friendly stab' in dark and confined areas) and find the wizard.
     
    wizardess giving an imperious gaze: "What are you doing here and who are you?"
     
    lesbian dwarven monk in full plate: " We are W.A.M; The 'Women Against Men' soceity. Are you responsible for the death of *describes woman*, these artifacts *holds up roll of duck tape and plastic toy car* you make were found by her corpse"
     
    wizadess: *taking proffered items and placing them in pockets*. "Yes these are mine. The woman stole them so i butchered her."
     
    GM--- the woman waves her fingers and incinerates the dwarf. A broom floats across the room and sweeps the ash into a corner.
     
    female (yes this one was lesbian too) elven ranger to wizard: *sitting on wizards desk and suggestively touching crystal globe* "Are you busy tonight?"
     
    Gnomish sorcerer pc; i grab everything on the desk and hurl it out the window.
     
    half orc ranger: i pick up the gnome sniff him and put him in my pocket for later.
     
     
    All in all it was a very disturbed night.

    I was joining one of my GMs other regular games for a few sessions, I don't normally play with the second group, but their game takes place in a shared world so my character can join them.. I'm a shapeshifter with Accidental Change, most of them are powersuit types.
     
    We're attacking a wharehouse with magic weilding thugs, after subduing the outside guards we're deciding what to do next when a sniper opens a window and shoots me, doing body triggers the Accidental Change and I burst into an Unkindness of Ravens (3 dozen birds or so).
     
    GM: You get shot and take 2 Body.
    Me: *rolls Acc.Chng.* I explode into a bunch of ravens.
    The Healer: I CAN'T HEAL THAT!!!
     
    They didn't know, up to that point, that I could shape shift at all... it was one of those surprise moments you can never repeat.

    There's something wrong with you when

    You write a program with a routine named "getSex".
    getSex() has a legitimate purpose in your legitimate, work-related program.
    It does not seem incongruous to you until you reread your code a few days later.
    Even after noticing it, you leave it in place because it makes more sense than anything else.
    Even though you recall, in your youth, swearing you would never attempt to get sex with a computer.
