Dr. Mist (pregnant with her first child, Elizabeth) and her bodyguard Kim-Ly are preparing for a meet with the Beatlemaniac, the latest villain in a gritty Supers campaign.

Dr. Mist: "I don't believe in violence, but...I would rather you and Elizabeth get through this. I trust you. Do what you need to do, but the Beatlemaniac, we need alive"
Kim-Ly: "How badly?"
Dr. Mist: "We need him to talk, to answer questions and tell us about the crooked cops. We need him alive, I didn't necessarily say whole...although I do feel bad for saying that"
Kim-Ly: "All right. But if it's his life or yours, he dies."
Dr. Mist: "Understood." (Pause) "Dear God...just saying that makes me feel like Don Corleone."

Dr. Mist also offers Kim-Ly her "invisibility pills": Completely out of sight for three minutes, but there's an accompanying risk of nausea, and clothes aren't affected unless saturated with a special spray. (A 15 minute process.) Since Kim-Ly was sent by Mist's industrialist sister, our hero begs her bodyguard not to pass on any word of the pills -- a request that gets a flat look from Kim-Ly.

Dr. Mist: "I'm just putting it out there."
Kim-Ly: (Removing shirt) "So am I."

From our Fringeworthy Season Two finale:

Cyrus: "Well, are you happy Aaron?"
Aaron: (nods) "Yeah."
Cyrus: "You almost destroyed us all."
Aaron: "Think about it. I just gave Michael the scare of his life. Now he knows that we can stand up to him and stop him. And he knows that I'm willing to do anything it takes to do so. He watched Jillian attain God-hood and knows she's out there to stand up against him as well. This is the worst day of his life, and the best day of yours. Simply put, this was the most important day in any of your lives."

A momentary pause.

Aaron: "But for me . . . it was Tuesday."

I have this one player in my group who likes to assume the 'intellectual superior' personality whenever there's an obviously legitimately inferior specimen to talk down to. He picked up on the 3 IQ difference of Duncan pretty quickly. He was conferring with our leader M'lady (another player who's timid about her role as party leader, afraid she'll very thoroughly get us all killed) over our chances of survival in the ensuing liberation of a town. Imagine Duncan speaking like a fairly slow Warcraft Peon.

M'lady: So, Vincent...what is it you think we should do?"
Vincent: "Well they'll be coming at us from all sides, it's going to be a slaughter."
M'lady: "Oh...Try to look on the bright side of things, we have Harold! (ST18, Greatsword)
Duncan: I have total confidence in your capabilities as a strategist m'lady! I have complete faith you won't lead us to our untimely deaths!
M'lady: //Slight Wimper
Vincent: "Well ...ok. We have Harold, the Archer. And then there's your master combatant, and a baffoon.
M'lady: I LIKE the baffoon... he's funny.
Duncan to M'lady: Oh, is that why you keep him around? I was honestly starting to wonder. Doesn't seem like he has much in the way of a sense of humor at all.

Later in the session I was scouting ahead of the party on top of a roof traveling with the archer when 3 men with crossbows spotted us. The archer's player zoned out a bit and combat had ensued. She 'came back' when it was the NPC's turn right before her turn came up. And no, talking is not a free action.

Duncan OoC: I'm going to look for Archer.
GM: She's on the roof to the right of you.
Duncan: "Miss, we're gonna be all stealth like alright. Try to keep quiet, and you go find a different roof top just incase those blighters spot us. That way, if they do spot us, we aren't jumped and pinned down together. Its to keep sort of a contingency plan, if you will, so that we aren't - as they say. Sitting ducks. Seems a bit of a proper thing since it'd be a terrible fix if we were both up here when covert operations have failed us."
Archer OoC: Huh? What's going?
GM: -dice clacking- And Duncan, you now have an arrow sticking out of your left shoulder, it does .....no damage.
Duncan: "I believe they've spotted us Miss."

Fantasy game, using pregen characters. One player thought cuir-boulli armor was metal, so we had a brief discussion of how it's really made.

Player: So I've got starched leather armor?

Did you also happen to mention this was the "standard" leather armor D&D uses?

Standard D&D leather armor is made out of buckles held on with straps, and the occasional paudron.

Mina: "Let me have a sip of your drink."
DM: *Hands her his drink*
Mina: "Eh, I've tasted better lemonade."
DM: "Um... this is Sprite."
Mina: "Oh."

DM: "Inside the glass-wall'd cage you see two large decomposing bodies, one is Orcus and the other resembles Demigorgon."
Tabitha: "Um, we know these two demon princes are still alive."
Rodrigo: "We *Survived* fighting Orcus' avatar."
Mina: "So what are we looking at here? Failed clones?"
Sycorax: "I think I'm a clone now..."
Tabitha: "You're a warforged Sy, you technically are."
DM: "You know, wouldn't it a really neat conspiracy if someone killed off these demon princes and replaced them with replicas that had a different agenda?"
Tabitha: "Fighting evil from the inside?"
DM: "I never said the agenda would be Good-aligned."
Rodrigo: "DM, stop giving yourself ideas!!"

Rin: “The babies are down in . . . uh . . . uh . . . uh . . .?”
GM: “At this point, Rin realizes that she just left her newborns with the immoral, Nazi, doctor.”
Deacon: "You're a terrible mother."
