Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun4 campaign ---------- The party is being smuggled out of Hong Kong in a small freight vessel after being labeled as international terrorists. They awake to the sound of muffled gunfire as the ship is being taken over by pirates. They are about to storm the bridge. Bender (OOC): I breakdown the door to the bridge and yell out "Give us your booze!" *rolls dice to punch the door* GM: The door goes flying off the hinges and into the bridge. A stunned pirate near the door has a look of shock and awe on his face and extends his beer grasping hand in your direction. Bender: *Takes beer from pirate* You may live.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Ahh that brings back memories of playing the text based Zork game on the trusty old Commodore 64.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from My Shadowrun 4 game. ------------------------ The team was hired by the leader of an anti-corp radical group to help in a multipronged attack on the establishment in Hong Kong. Their job is to infiltrate a power station and blow it up. So they come up with a plan ... Lina (OOC): Why don't we get the two Elves to dress up like cowboys and tell the guard they are performing a birthday greeting for one of the employees? Strange (OOC and one of the Elves in question): Yeah, 'cause the Elves can so totally pull off the John Wayne look. We need to steel a van and get it modified to say "Happy Trails Howdy Grams" or something. Lina (OOC): Yeah, but this is Hong Kong, so we need to get a bad English translation, like "Joyous Trails Howdy Grams." You guys can go in there in your cowboy outfits and your little horse heads on a stick and whoop it up. Bender (OOC): OK. So we find a costume shop - Strange (OOC): Wait a minute! When did this become a real plan?!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Its been 2 months since I ran my Shadowrun game. Things were all crazy at my work for a while. However, the game will resume on Monday May 11th. The party is in Hong Kong on a seemingly simple courier mission. They have gotten themselves on the wrong side of the local triad, and a massive firefight erupts at the Kai Tak Airport. Kai Tak is an abandoned airport that hosts a large gray market bazaar. GM: There is only one triad member still breathing (although that's about all he's doing). Bender: I stomp on his head. (Bender's signature move) GM: Have you ever seen Gallagher live? Sr. Lico (OOC): Man, am I glad I wasn't in the front row!

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I certainly hope other's reactions to Feline Fury doesn't keep input.jack from posting quotes. Jack's quotes are some of the best in the thread.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun 4th edition campaign -------------------------------------- NOTE: Tina changed her street name to Wren so as not to be confused with Lina -------------------------------------- The team is in Hong Kong on a courier mission. They arrive at Chep Lak Kok airport just off of Lantau island. They need to get to Kowloon City. GM: It looks like taxi is the preferred method of transportation. The rental place only has subcompacts. However, there's plenty of taxis and a few rickshaws. Wren (OCC): I don't think there's a rickshaw large enough for all of us, let alone Bender. GM (joking around): Yeah right, there's a seven man rickshaw. Seven guys in bit and bridal. Sr. Lico (OCC): We're not going to that part of town! Bender (OCC): What? You don't want to go see a donkey show? GM: Ahh ... a donkey show ... that brings back memories. Players:

Re: in the spirit of christmas! Excellent! I like it. Thank you very much.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun 4th Edition campaign -------------------- Lina (OOC): (reminiscing about past adventures) Hey, I only cut him in half after he drew a knife on me; I wasn't the one who set the other kid of fire as he was running away! -------------------- The team is staking out a Bunraku Parlor* from a seedy cafe/bar across the street, waiting for their mark to exit. Bender and Tina: (walk into the cafe/bar together) Bender: (walks up to the bartender) I'll have two beers. (looks at Tina) Should I order one for you too? A little while later ... Bender (OOC): Has he been in there for more than two hours? GM: No, about an hour and a half. Bender (OOC): Good. Otherwise, I'd have to buy more beer. -------------------- In order to ambush their mark and "neutralize" him, Bender decides to disguise himself among the other vagrants in an alley that the mark should travel down. Bender (OOC): I find an unoccupied cardboard box and occupy it. If I can't find an unoccupied box, I find an occupied one and evict the tenant, then occupy it. Lina (OOC): Yeah, he just picks up the box, shakes it. Some guy falls out and runs away. Tina (OOC): Unless that guy is a Troll and doesn't like being evicted. Lina (OOC): BUM FIGHT!! BUM FIGHT!! -------------------- *Also known as a "Meat Puppet Parlor." Its a brothel where the "employees" are surgically altered to look like famous people and have personality chips slotted in their data jacks so that they take on the personalities of said famous people. While under the influence of the personafix chip, the employees' personalities are suppressed, and they will have no memory of what happened.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Only 3 of my 5 players showed up to my Shadowrun 4th Edition game. One is chronically hit or miss with his attendance, and the other was sick. So instead of continuing with the next adventure in the campaign, I ran a one off. There was only one amusing quote that I remember. New cast of Characters: Mac, the Orc ex-Special Ops, is no longer with the team. Lina, a Human Weapon Specialist and Armorer, is taking Mac's place. ------------------- The team has been hired to "silence" a private investigator who knows too much. The plan is to hire the investigator for a fake job in the Barrons where the team will ambush him. Bender: (on a comm call to the investigator, not sure of the plan): I need you to ... uh ... investigate something ... privately.

Re: in the spirit of christmas! I got one for you if you are still up for it. Minerva: Fantasy Bard/Dominatrix She has a fair complexion with long curly red hair. Her eyes are blue. Her lips are full. She is both athletic and voluptuous. She wears revealing black studded leather armor in the fantasy vein, of course. Her main weapon is a whip and her backup is a rapier. She is about as attractive as human females come and has a mischievous demeanor. She stands about 5' 10". Take your time and have fun with it.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Ha! Maybe I should write up a D&D Victoria's Secret catalog and publish it under the OGL. That is of course, if the OGL still exists for the latest version of D&D. I'd have to find me some fantasy super models though.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... That reminds me of a D&D campaign I was in. I was playing a Half-Orc Bard named Garret Elderberry III who was raised by Halflings. A friend of mine was playing a Halfling Barbarian named Grub who was raised by Half-Orcs. There must of been a mixup at the maternity ward - either that or we were switched at conception. Anyway, there was also a Tiefling Rouge in the group. Eventually, my Half-Orc and the Tiefling became intimate with each other in a "swing from the rafters until the neighbors call the town guard" kind of way, but they never married.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun 4th Edition game -------------------- The team discover that the runaway they are after is in the Tunnel of Love. GM: The Tunnel of Love is a circuitous ride where the swan boats enter and exit the attraction in the front. Mac: Sits in the swan boat, coaxes Strange by patting the seat next to him and playing Barry White through his commlink. Strange: Um ... no. -------------------- Since the attraction is not actually running, the team enter via a maintenance catwalk that is suspended just under the surface of the water. They enter a large pond area inside the attraction GM: Suddenly, the attraction comes to life and a flying cupid comes out of nowhere and hits the dwarf. Sr. Lico: Gets hit by cupid and falls into the water Tina (OOC): Gere* was instructed to attack anything that attacks a team member. So he fires a burst into cupid. GM: Gere destroys the automaton cupid. The LMG fire in a confined space is fantastically loud. Strange: Covering his ears Call off the dog! -------------------- After being knocked unconscious inside the Tunnel of Love only to come to at the drive thru of the local McHughes fast food chain with the runaway girl sitting next to him and the entire team (including the runaway) enjoying soy burgers and soy shakes ... Bender: The only logical conclusion to this run is me getting smashed. -------------------- GM: You have a 14 year old freaky chick and a drunk Troll in the back of your van. You know where this is going, right? Mac (OOC): Youtube. *Gere is the name of one of the Rigger's MCT Doberman drone, which is armed with a LMG.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Damn, I couldn't find a smiley that was performing "The People's Eyebrow"

Re: First role playing memory My first roleplaying experience was NOT with D&D. I was in high school, and I just entered into this tight group of friends. They invited me over one afternoon, and I saw that they were playing some weird game that had no board. At first I thought it was a "choose your own adventure" reading or something, but then I quickly realized that the choices were not limited like a "choose your own adventure" novel, and the players were rolling dice to determine the results of their choices. That intrigued me. "What are you doing," I asked "Roleplaying," came the reply. I had not idea what that meant at the time. One of my new friends helped me make a character for this game called Shadowrun. After my character was created, I was thrown into the game. The GM, which I later found out was short for game master, reviewed my character and then continued with his interactive story. "Your party walks down the hallway to the apartment. Just as you are about to force the door open, it whips open to reveal a man in a trench coat. Upon seeing you, his SMG speaks volumes. Roll initiative ..." Mayhem ensued and I was hooked. Later, I went to the local hobby store and found a copy of the main rule book for Shadowrun first edition that had a tear in the cover. I talked to store owner into selling it to me at a discount. When I got home with the book, I repaired the cover with duct tape and sat down to familiarize myself with my new favorite past time. That was 17 years ago. Since then, I have played or GMed a wide variety of roleplaying systems. I'm now GMing the 4th edition of Shadowrun.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... More quotes from my Shadowrun 4th Edition game ------------------ The characters are in a meeting with Mr. Johnson (The ubiquitous and anonymous name that all employers of shadowrunners use) Strange (OOC): I hack his PAN* Tina (OOC): You hack his pants?! GM: So that's why they call you Mr. Johnson. Strange (OOC): And that's why they call me Strange. ------------------ Strange is trying to remind me about his Enemy Quality, but I initially misheard him. Things went down hill from there. Strange (OOC): Remember my Enemy flaw GM: Miami flaws? Strange (OOC): Miami only has one flaw: men in Speedos. GM: Grape smugglers ... Tina (OOC): What about Trolls in Speedos? GM: Grapefruit smugglers ... Sr. Lico (OOC): This conversation has no place to go but up. Bender (OOC): Congratulations, we've hit rock bottom. Sr. Lico (OOC): Congratulations, we've just wasted five minutes talking about gonads. ------------------ Bender and Strange are coming up with a plan of persuasion. Strange: ... and if they don't like it, you can shoot them. Bender: I don't shoot people ... often. ------------------ The group has followed a lead on a missing child into an amusement park that is closed for maintenance. Strange tries to hack into the park's security system and barely survives a brush with Black IC** Strange: There's some bad IC around here. Bender: So what, don't eat the snow cones? Strange (OOC): Can I have your attention please? There are some bad snow cones going around. DO NOT eat the yellow snow cones. ------------------ * Personal Area Network ** Intrusion Countermeasures (pronounced: ice)

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... They are medium sized drones, so about as tall as a man if you stand one on its tail. Huginn was firing from outside the building, through the shattered security door, through the room, and through the open door out of the room into the hallway. Unfortunately, the hot Elf was standing in the doorway leading out to the hall. The roto-drone was armed with an HK-227x submachine gun. Not as big or powerful as the ED-209, but the effect was the same.

Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... I'm running a Shadowrun 4th edition campaign. Currently, we are going through the Emergence campaign book. The cast of characters are: Strange: Male Elven Hacker Mac: Male Orc Ex-Special Ops Sr. Rico: Male Dwarven Aztlan Shaman Tinuvial (Tina): Female Elven Rigger Bender: Male Troll Street Samurai ------------------------------- The characters are trying to find a kidnap victim and have traced his whereabouts to a safe house in the Barrons. The exterior of the house has been thoroughly scouted by the Rigger's Roto-drones, which she named Huginn and Muninn. Bender: Goes around to the back of the house to the back door Mac: Follows Bender to give him support with a Mossberg Bender: Punches the back door with intent to destroy it GM (me): The door explodes off the hinges and clatters in pieces to the floor inside the house. Mac: Grins with approval Heh ... cool ------------------------------- GM: There are two heavily cybered thugs in the room and a hot Elven woman who seems to have been interrogating your principal. He seems to be in either pain or ecstasy. Mac (OOC): What!? He's enjoying being interrogated? GM: Well, you know the Elf is a magic user, she has two diametrically opposed spells: Orgasm and Agony. Mechanically, they are the same, except for ... well ... Mac (OOC): That's kinda creepy ... I gotta get her phone number. GM: ------------------------------- Tina (OOC): I order Huginn to shoot anyone that's not on the "white list" GM: "White list?" Tina (OOC): Anyone who is not part of our team or our principal. Huginn's initiative comes around and the only adversary left is the hot Elven Mage. Huginn proceeds to pull an ED-209* on her. GM: Dude, you just Swiss cheesed the hot Elf chick! Tina (OOC): So? GM: She was hawt! Tina (OOC): All the more reason. ------------------------------- * ED-209 is the robot in the original Robocop movie that malfunctioned in the board room. If you don't know what I'm talking about, see the movie.
