Reminded by another thread. At a large, and rather lively party in an AD&D campaign, a magician who builds weird creatures as a hobby is talking to a priestess of a god of Fate:

Wizard: "Blueberry mouse?"

Priestess: "Oh, how adorable! I shall call him Elric!"

The current Thursday game is steampunk with weird magic mixed in. We've learned that the NPC who owns the boat we're on is using electricity spirits to supplement his generator ... and that some of those spirits have been getting themselves "stuck" in other objects. On learning this, a PC inventor asked my PC medium to check out the prototype capacitor he's built. Yep, it's showing signs of an occupant, so the next question is whether it's safe to release said occupant while we're on the boat.

Me: I'm going to talk with the ghost in the cell ....

The party telepath has just knocked the crew of a tank unconscious, and another party member teleports the two of them inside.

"You should probably go ahead and teleport them out of here, unless you want to strap them to the front as ablative armour."

Edit: Just a little later...
Another player, OOC: "I'd get out of the tank if we could survive out there, so it wouldn't be a cake-walk, but it's death out there. It's cake-walk or death!"

And even later...
"There's no comfortable place to sleep out here... is it alright if we teleport home, and just sort of commute to the war?"

In a TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE game I ran at a local convention a couple weeks back. My plot had the characters invovled in the school's chorus group and being entered in a contest. A couple minutes into the game, a late-comer showed up, so I gave her my file of TFOS characters to choose one. She chose Wednesday Addams, (which fit in nicely, because in my TFOS campaign Gomez is he Vice Principle). So as the player sat down, I brought her up to speed.

GM: Okay, Wednesday, you are a member of the school's Glee Club.

WEDNESDAY: Why? Am I being punished?

In our current D&D game, our party recently captured an "A-List" villain who deals in slavery, advancing Tiamat's agenda, and collecting little girls. Half the party wanted to interrogate him for information on one teenaged girl in specific that we needed to recover. Unfortunately this half of the party has the worst player skill in interrogation.

Villain: (Sarcasm) "Well whatever you do, don't sell me into slavery."
Elf PC: "Good idea, we can sell you back to Elena. Won't that be irony?"
Villain: "You do realize Elena is my boss? She'd just put me back into play so I can work on revenge against you lot! Idiots... look, can someone ELSE interrogate me? Someone with intelligence? Anybody?"

Why didn't he play along with the threat to sell him back to Elena? I'd have been all ''oh no, Brer Fox, don't throw me in dat briar patch!" ;)

Not everyone can hide their contempt for IDIOTS. It's classic villainy, really.

Hehehe

His decision to scold the PCs may have cost him a chance to escape. What does that make the villain? :0
