DJ Blackrock Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... A player was playing a mage who had a mongoose familiar that he could buff up for combat. HERO system. He had his flight spell suppressed while fighting a flying enemy, so he turns and asks me "How far can I throw my mongoose?" After that, he became Mongoose Scott ----------- Playing a Serenity game, based in the Firefly universe. Serenity has a mechanic called Plot Points that, when spent, allow the players to steer the story in different ways "There ain't enough plot points in the 'Verse to turn Reavers into Tribbles." ~Me "I'm not sure which would be worse." ~Player ------------ "Cory, you better start paying attention, because Scott's talking to a tree." "What? Is that tree talking sh*t about me?" ------------ "What's the damage for using a horse as a melee weapon?" ----------- Player ~ "Can I tinkle in the water elemental?" Me ~ "Uh, sure, but he's not gonna like it." ------------ "She's our healer, she fixes us... EXCEPT FOR HIM, WHO SHE TOTALLY NEGLECTED!" ------------ "I try to convince him I'm a doctor." "Okay, bluff check" :rolls, natural 20: "Wow, I believe I'm a doctor!" ------------ "Time flies when you're getting evicerated." "So to entrails apparently."

Houston GM Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 It's just standard operating procedure.... The PCs are nominally US Deputy Marshalls. In reality, they are cybernetically enhanced federal agents who are regularly loaned out by the Marshalls to other organizations. Marshall Chandler (the superior) has told the PCs to pack for a week long trip to the coast and meet him for a briefing in the morning. When packing, the PCs all decide that 2 suits and a bunch of casual clothes should be appropriate. At the meeting they discover that "the coast" is the swamps along the border of Georgia and South Carolina. Henry: "I don't think I'll be needing two suits." Ham: "Yeah. I'll be leaving one in my office." Darnell: "Why are you bothering to bring one suit? We're going to be in a swamp." Ham: "But we might need to meet with local law enforcement at some point, and I'll need to look like a stodgy and boring federal agent. We have a reputation to uphold." Marshall Chandler explains what he expects of the PCs. Chandler: "Officially, you're tasked with arresting the drug smugglers. Unofficially, I expect you do do what you need to do. I just don't want to hear about it." Ham: .oO(It's nice to have an understanding boss.) The PCs find the drug smugglers they've been looking for. The smugglers regularly carry automatic weapons and have a reputation for being trigger happy. Any backup will be a couple hours out. The PCs count 8 to 10 smugglers in two vehicles. The PCs start discussing ways to handle that many heavily-armed opponents. Ham: "Normally I'd recommend an L-shaped ambush in this circumstance, but we might have some problems pulling it off." Darnell: "What's an L-shaped ambush, and why can't we do it?" Ham: "The short side is usually a couple machine guns, and you two can probably cover that part of it. The long side is usually a rifle platoon, and I don't think I can carry that part as well." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratio Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... Long time back. Group of players in an early D&D seeting. They've acquired some wealth and decide to spend it in the nearest town. So in they wander along and start buying the usual weapons of mayhem. I, as the DM, don't pay too much attention except to make sure thier character sheets are updated with wieghts, encumbrance etc. If they want to try and use 2 handed swords in a bar fight, that's thier look out. Anyway, the next night we get to a night encampment out in the wilderness and the group get ambushed by a party of raiding bandits. The characters leap to thier feet, grab weapons armour etc. Again, I'm not paying too much attention as I'm setting up the many and varied attacks. Two bandits attack this one player called 'Little' Phil. He was the gaming groups whipping boy. I ask for his defences; "So I assume you'll use the sword to hold off one attacker and your shield against the other? "Umm.... I've not got a shield." "What? Didn't you have a small shield?" "No, I ran out of money. I've got a chicken though!" Silence came across the group. "Pardon?" "I've got a chicken. I've got 3 actually." More silence. "You've got 3 chickens?" "Yeah, I bought them in that last town." "Okay... and where have they been?" "Well, in my back pack". "So these are live chickens kept in your back pack?" "Yeah." "And you didn't mention this because...?" "Well, didn't thought it was alright." The silence fell apart as the whole crew did the ROFLMAO thing. Impromptu chicken calls, people miming the act of drawing a chicken from a scabbard and stabbing people with chickens, cries of "Runaway! He's got a chicken!" etc. Chaos. For the heck of it he was allowed to defend himself with a live chicken hastily pulled from his back pack. And it became a standard question for the next gaming year. "Do you want to use your shield or do you purchance carry a chicken?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Do you want to use your shield or do you purchance carry a chicken?" In Schwartzkopf's autobiography It Doesn't Take a Hero he describes being assigned as liason officer to a South Vietnamese unit. Apparently they carried, as part of their rations, live ducks. As I recall, their beaks were secured somehow and their feet tied together and they hung by their feet from the belt of the soldier. So these soldiers went into the jungle looking for trouble, with live ducks hanging off them.
