Revenge Of The Son Of The Quotes File!

[theweaselking]

Game #1!

On bad luck:
PC1: "It occurs to me that my bad luck may stem from using a dice box from a place that was destroyed by a volcano."

On bad mapping:
PC2: "That looks like a tetris penis!"
DM: "Yes. It is a Tetris Penis, and it is coming rubble all over the wall. It is definitely not a fallen tree"
PC3: "Hee. Tetris penis."

PC3: "I miss."
DM: "You missed! It shifts 3, gives that guy 10 tempHP, then charges the paladin! +23 vs AC, 9 damage and you're knocked prone!"
PC3: "Holy crap, that's a MINION?"
Me: "Important safety tip, everyone: Don't miss those!"

PC2: "Snakes from another plane!"

This was actually a serious bit of conversation:
PC1: "What about INSIDE snake?"
Me: "Inside snake is inside."
PC1: "Oh."

DM: "I learned the secrets of crafting from Guardian Qwor, who died before he told me where the skymetal is."
PC1: "Like, what, midsentence?"

DM: "They are lost somewhere in the world to me!"
Me: "Well, they haven't shown up anywhere else. So they've gotta be here somewhere."
PC2: "Is there a bar? Did you check it?"

PC1: "We'll follow the Via Notgetkilledia!"

Upon finding a magical gem that is critical to The Plot:
Me, playing the Ranger: "I can see through TIME!"
Everyone else: "GIVE US THAT!"

Me: "Shaken Eladrin Syndrome is where you get Quicklings"

Mocking poor printed-adventure expository writing:
DM: "There is a room here. It is full of bread. You feel an ominous sense of forboding."

PC3: "Can we take that boat instead? Because ours kind of looks like a penis."

On linguistics:
DM: "Look. As time progresses, more and more words in the english language mean 'penis'"

PC1, attempting to chant and wave to make the DM roll badly: "I'm trying to curse you, will you just roll the die?"
DM: "You get the D10 of doom UP THE NOSE."

On the fact that the Ranger's solution to everything is "crossbow"
Me: "It is a single-function gadget, much like banana-slicers."

Moradin: "This is why we can't have nice things, Kord."

After rolling a 20 on a knowledge check:
DM: "She is astounded by your knowledge!"
Me: "So am I!"

On smack-talking a villain.
PC2: "AND she's ugly."

On poor adventure design, part 2:
DM: "Giant kayaks. Carved from ice. With sails."

On plans, foiled:
DM: "I was like, these guys don't push, pull, or... " BAMF "...SHIT!"



Game #2, wherein PC1 is now DM and DM is now PC4.

DM: "I used to be the innocent one, until people caught on."

DM: "It's like a lobotomy."
PC2: "For your soul."
Me: "A lobotomy for your soul. How appealing."

On proper female-lower-planar-creature identification:
PC4: "Look, there's only two options. Is it birdlike? Yes, Erinyes. No, Succubus."

DM: "PC4, I need you to raise your head off the table, look me in the eyes, and tell me where you hide your teapots."

On a complete lack of all context:
Me: "It's a teaching moment involving my vagina!"

On the Purple Worm Incident:
PC5: "We are NOT a food bank for worms!"

Me: "I'm pretty sure you can go around me, it's a big worm."

PC4: "I'm INSIDE the worm. I have Prime Shot."
PC2: "Hell hath no fury like a woman swallowed."

PC3: "I have a penis! Miniature, incorrect, but a penis!"

On discussing past games:
DM: "I don't think the catgirl had fur, either. It was a robot, after all."

While looking for sewers to escape the hordes from the skies:
PC3: "It's raining men?"
Me: "It's raining POD PEOPLE."
PC2: "Brings new meaning to 'finding a manhole'."

PC4: "I've already sold my soul to someone else, sorry."

On describing the Warforged Barbarian:
PC2: "Made of metal, wearing Hide"
PC4: "He's trying to be a person!"

PC5: "It's telepathic! Who makes a telepathic robot, that's great!"

On discussion of Peter Pan rules:
PC5: "I DON'T believe in aboleths! I DON'T believe in aboleths!"

Things that do not require context:
DM: "You can't telnet into the duke!"

Important life lessons:
PC2: "When your baby turns evil, set it on fire."

DM: "There is one tiny flickering candle of light in a universe of all-consuming darkness"
PC4: "It's on my head"

I don't actually remember who said this one or why:
"Take off all your clothes and surrender, you will be given food."

Ring the bell, the amazons come running:
PC2: "Chase just made it rain women! This is his NEW FAVOURITE BELL."

On inappropriate PCs:
PC2: "Man, the Son of God is a logisitical nightmare"
DM: "Extreme sports Jesus! He falls through a woodchipper on the side of the track and they're all 'oh, that's okay, he'll be back in three days."
Me: "Welcome to Jesusburger, may I take your order?"

PC4: "Woad takes FOREVER to apply."
DM: "It's a lot faster than armor!"
Me: "Much less effective, though!"

I don't know:
PC4: "We're assuming some kind of sports bra made of screaming faces, here."



Finally, Game #3, wherein PC2 is DM and PC1 is actually someone different:

On dropping Orcs from tall places:
PC4: "It's like a vat of green stroganoff exploded!"

DM: "I need to steal Kalad back from you for a moment. There's descriptive text on his back."
PC1: "So, you lift the dwarf's shirt, and...."
PC3: "Hairy dwarf man-boobs!"
Me: "On his BACK?"

DM: "If the valves are open, you can flood the nexus with boiling water."
Me: "We don't know where the other adventurers are."
PC1: "I had considered this!"

DM: "You do 0 damage. Then halve it."

Sometime around here the group's complete lack of a regular healer leads to the creation of Agamemnon Thokcrates Deophilus, Kobold Bard. It's exactly as silly as it sounds[1]. He has a greatsword[2].

On the problems of going back to the home plane after picking up new PCs somewhere else:
DM: "Do you guys hang out together?"
Me: "I don't know anyone else on this planet!"

On the habits of PCs to get back together in a hurry after downtime when something interesting happens.
DM: "The Bard LITERALLY pops out of the very first shadow. 'A Quest! I haven't been stalking you, honest!'"
Me: "I actually might have been."

On morality:
Me: "Hey, I have a great sense of duty towards my fellow human beings. I simply have a definition of 'fellow human beings' that doesn't include many humans!"

[1]: And yet, a surprisingly effective build. It's one thing I really like about D&D4 that wasn't present in *any* version of D&D previous: there are multiple ways to build anything, and it's HARD to build something completely terrible.

[2]: Oh, very well, a "Kobold Greatsword" - a Bastard Sword, wielded in two hands.

I LOVE it.

You may have missed the previous installments! I'm not sure if you were on the list for 'em or not.

(The "deadlands" tag is my generic gaming tag.)

Comedy gold, as usual.

Note to self; I'm sure I've told you this before but DO NOT TRY TO EAT SOUP WHILE READING THESE.

Note to self: Surely you remember how much a new keyboard cost last time...

I need more tabletop gaming in my life so badly. One of these days I'm gonna have to start another Exalted game.

[ash1977law.livejournal.com]

Ah, I miss playing D&D with Brits.

There is NOTHING silly about a kobold bard. I run one in a Kingdoms of Kalamar play-by-post 3.x game. Well, he's a Learned Bard, which is like the regular one but INT instead of CHA based...

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

I made a Valourous Bard. Charisma/Constitution, "multiclass Swordmage" (I took the Feat that makes my Greatsword an Implement. I wanted to ACTUALLY MC Swordmage, but then I couldn't use the sword for Bard powers, and screw that), and the fact that I've got a weapon *and* an Implement equipped at all times lets me have a wide selection of tricks for all occasions. Oh, and Kobolds can Shift as a minor action, which is just swank.

I spray temp HP in all directions on all my allies.

Bwahahahahahaha :)

Man, our D&D4 game just got canceled about a month ago due to the GM having family health issues. I really miss it. :(

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

Insert usual "Jealous, wanna play, no D&D game group" here.

It's not fool-proof but I've been able to find groups with it in 5 states and 3 countries.

I approve these ventures.

My latest game session ended in a roll-off amongst the party and two fairly heavy non-friendlies as to who would get to eat the soul of the super-baddie that spent the entire session playing with my colon.
