He's already killed so many The only villain that McGinty has faced, and that got away, and that doesn't want him dead, is Vitus.

Susano Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Re: Quote of the Week from my gaming group... A friend has been running a Horror Hero game titled "Bad Moon." It sort of morphed into a pastiche of Hammer horror films, complete with OCC jokes about the sets, SFX, and the like. Here are eight sessions worth of quotes. BAD MOON Danut Coman the Dhampier and Vampire Hunter Eve the Fire Mage Rhashida the Mummy Victor the Priest Wulfric von Richthofen the Werewolf (which is known as Timmy) Danut Coman: "It wasn't meant for your kind." Doctor Wulfric von Richthofen: "Apparently you are dead." Rhashida: "Come again?" Wulfric (goes out and then comes in again): "Apparently you are dead." (singing) "Bad wolf! Bad wolf! He runs across Carpathia on the lupine of sin!" "Burn all the things!" "I'm going to the drug store to get some Vick's. Stop the coffin." Man's best friend my ass." Rhashida: "I rolled an 8 on Plot Contrivance." Victor: "Do you even have that as a power?" "My dice got Nestored." "Can we have a green van?" (Stated when Danut's player realized that: Danut = Fred, Wulfric = Scooby-Doo, Victor = Shaggy, Rhashida = Velma, and Eve = Daphne.) "Ve have a problem." "Train linky thingies." "I've got a grip!" "Because we're on the express train, I thought I'd call [my new invention] expresso." "It's morphin' time." "Monotonous isn't it?" Victor: "I'm going to walk up and lay hands on her." GM: "Again?" "No. I added sugar." "I never hit a lady, but I may have to punch a bitch." "You're the one who threw a naked werewolf at us." "If you're going to make jokes like that, you're going to write it down." Didn't you know that fur is murder?" Eve on her blood: "It's either from my mother or my father... or maybe both." Wulfric on his whereabouts: "If he's outside, he's probably poking the minotaur." Wulfric: "I don't understand your language. I forgot to read the subtitles." Wulfric: "I was smart. I made him drink my stuff." GM: O_o Eve rolls 3d6: "A book, a two, and that way." GM: "You have a duck." Wulfric: "I can't even say anything bad about the engineering. This is Germany, they have good engineers." Repeated: "Werewolf.... there wolf." GM's note to himself: never mention 'Black Blood of the Earth' around Big Trouble in Little China fans. Victor: "Dammit Wulfric, I'm a scholar, not a biologist!" GM: "Aquatic (man's) arm and a hunk of cheese." Danut (OOC): "Maybe he was trying to make a tuna melt." "Easy bake Lycan." Eve: "You have a bath, you're a wash and wear." "Don't worry, I have better aim!" "[Danut] is not wearing pants. I don't want to hear about 'frontal assault'." "Aw, s**t. I'm gonna have to be heroic now, aren't I?" "That's a very good idea." "What? Drinking your own pee?" Eve: "He's a corpse, I'm going to give him a Viking funeral." Tactical suggestion to Eve: "Burn all the things!" Summing up the final scene: "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhh..............................................................................................................*thud*" The GM sets out a werewolf mini. Danut (OOC): "You need to add a pole to this." GM: *facepalm* "It begins." "We need to be careful, this is a pyramid scheme." "Televangelist powers activate! Form of Jerry Falwell, shape of Tammy Faye Baker!" Timothy: "I'm going to roll Science!" "Nobody puts Sabine in the corner!" "Does this mean Danut is played by Patrick Swayze?" "Oh, hell yes!" Danut (OOC): "Just look around the lab and anytime your hand switches from pointer to grabber, pick that item up." "I found a tinderbox." "How is this a 'box'? It's a cylinder!" Victor: "Why do people keep giving me things?" Timothy: "So if anything bad happens, it happens to you." Eve (OOC): "If you're not playing the paranoia, I'll take over." Timothy: "I'm not a mad scientist, I'm an engineer." Danut (OOC): "Tesla was an engineer... *looks at GM* Can I have a death ray?" "Special attack, altered stock footage." "You hit him so hard you knocked him out of the plot." "I'm glad I'm too buzzed to have moral quandaries." GM: "How much BODY?" Eve: "21. And [that was with] with two 1's [on the dice]." GM to Victor: "And you wanted to boost [Eve's] attacks? F**k you!" "Victor is about worthless about now." "Dog flail." "I'm going to lay hands upon myself." "It's werewolf's time to talk to guys." Danut: "If he's the right hand of doom, I'm the left hand of vengeance." Danut: "I presume if I [stab you] enough, I'll find what's left of your heart." Danut to the fallen vampire lord: "Don't get up on my account." GM: "I'm bringing a building down and don't want to kill you with it." "...gook-stained..." "Hey, we didn't fight any VC." *pause as the other players let than sink it* "Ewww!" “Pulse?” “Dead.” *smack!* “Just checking.” “Still dead.” “Well, me might be trying to re-inflate the autopilot.” (Said about Wulfric’s possibility of doing odd things with a corpse.) “They called me mad... how did they know?” Danut (OOC): “You brought these [mini wheel pretzels] for when the wheels fall off your campaign, didn’t you?” “Do you have any idea how expensive it’d be to replace this bridge every time?” “It’s a movie!” “When they said curiosity killed the cat, they said nothing about the dog!” “Rhashida is no longer stunned by the cat.” “She aborted to getting covered in dice. I think that’s a fetish in Japan.” “There are few things that aren’t a fetish in Japan.” “You failed your EGO Roll to *not* chase a cat?” “He has people-chuks.” “The cat is now attached to his face. And he is stunned.” “Short attention-span doctor.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if he, she, or it doesn't go by the name of McGinty, all of those psychotic- ally endearing character traits will no doubt be present in the EBL's next avatar.
