Didn't happen in game, but during character creation:

Player: "Hey, can I waterboard a demon with holy water?"
Me: "Errr . . . ummm . . . yes."
Player: "What skill do I use? Interrogation?"
Me: "Yes. You're going to be trouble, aren't you?"
Player: "I can do this with vampires too . . ."
Me: *sigh* "What can of worms have I opened . . ."
Player: "I'm JACK BAUER, [expletive deleted]."

That last line really ought to have been "I'm the Reverend Jack Bauer, [female dog]!"

I'll tell the player. They will be amused.

It's been a good while since I've run anything with my own Sweet Thing. We've both been too busy to kill monsters. We seriously need to remedy that.

Default Re: Memorable Quotes.

Okay, this is one from an old, old Teenagers From Outer Space campaign I ran way back when I lived in Darkest Iowa. One of the NPC's was Rivalsan Lendo, heir to a powerful ninja clan/multinational corporation from the comic book NINJA HIGH SCHOOL (and based himself on characters like Shutaro Mendou from URUSEI YATSURA and Kuno from RANMA 1/2. He was an arrogant jerk, and prone to overly dramatic declarations.

At the beginning of one session, I had Lendo stride into the Sakura Inn, the local sushi/ice cream parlor, (doesn't every town have one?), strike a dramatic pose at the counter and declaim:

"I want a chocolate shake.
I want a chocolate shake as deep as my sorrow.
I want a chocolate shake as thick as my despair.
I want a chocolate shake as cold as a maiden's heart.
And a straw."


Lendo, you see, had an unrequited passion for one of the PCs, Ranma Satome, (unaware of the fact that Ranma is only a girl half the time). Another of the PCs had a crush on Lendo which was also unrequited because Lendo was an oblivious jerk.

I can no longer remember exactly how that particular session went down, although there were undoubtedly the typical misunderstandings, confusions, old situations, new complications, etc.

But I remember how the session ended. Lendo managed to end up the goat, and to anger pretty much everybody -- especially the PC who liked him, or did.

At the end of the adventure, she stormed up to the counter of the Sakura Inn and said:

"I WANT A CHOCOLATE SHAKE.
I WANT A CHOCOLATE SHAKE AS DEEP AS MY RAGE.
I WANT A CHOCOLATE SHAKE AS COLD AS MY FURY.
I WANT A CHOCOLATE SHAKE AS THICK AS A BOY'S HEAD!!!"

We are in a room where there are monsters walking on the walls and ceiling in defiance of gravity. Player 1 contemplates using a Shattershot arrow, which delves deep into GURPS' fragmentation rules and the question of exactly what range is everyone from everyone.

GM: "Please, don't."
Player 2: "Don't punish the GM for designing the Death Cube"

GM : ...and so as you attempt to question your informant a poisoned crossbow bolt apparently shot from a roof across the street strikes his chest. What do you do?

PC1: I cast Neutralize Poison!

PC2: I run across the street and cast Spider Climb!

PC3: I cast Fly and rise above the rooftops!

PC4: I grab the two fighters and cast Dimension Door!

GM: Hmm. The module does not seem to have anticipated these responses.

(somewhat later)

Assassin: You mentioned ale?

If anyone wonders, after we brought the informant _and_ the assassin back from the brink of death we hired both of them. The module does not seem to have anticipated that either. :)

A few from the Denizens of the Dark Horde game over on the Gurps Discord

The berserker stops biting your knuckles on the second punch.

*The dwarf tries the Headbutt of defense

After some intense concentration and the use of all fingers and one leg Cecryn manages to* count the remaining door. He heads towards it determined to open it so it doesn't feel left out.

After throwing one of PCs (a kobold) at the top of a tower

*"Melor moves out of the rain of stones and watches the progress of the Kobold aerospace project"

*"I hit the tower so hard with my kobold missile a dwarf fell out!"
