L (without missing a beat): "Because he told us where we stand."
Someday, I'll have to inflict a GURPS Rocky Horror campaign on my players. Not the actual plot, of course, because they'll know what's going on right away, but maybe if they somehow ran into the second mission, with aliens who are just as strange as Dr. Furter, but in different ways...

Playing a soul sucking character in an evil game I'd just been shot from all sides by poison tipped crossbow bolts from HELL. I thump to the floor and the following ensues.

P1: Do you have first aid?
P2: No do you?
P1: Hm...Welp he's dead.
Me: Neither of you guys have First Aid? I have first Aid.
Gm: I'm going to need another HT roll from you.
Me: Always ALWAYS get First Aid on your character sheet. This is why.
P2: Knowing first aid isn't going to help you when you're the one on the floor.
Me: Just bring me an orphan or a properly bludgeoned old lady, I'll be fine.

The rest of the post was good for context, but something about the wording of the above appeals.

For some reason, my Sunday afternoon group tends to roll Hit Location 13 (officially "vitals", most gamers around here define it as "crotch") more often than random chance would dictate. In yesterday's Star Hero game, the just-rescued prisoner (new PC) blasted the first bad guy in the groin.

"Was there something about your captivity that you haven't told us?"

Then, the same player rolled back-to-back Location 13's on another bad guy.

That Player: Hey, it's not me, it's the targeting system on this gun.

God, Blood Legend made me remember this:

We were playing Star Wars D6, and the players' tramp freighter was blasted off from the sky by a merc“s fighter. They fall into a swamp, are rescued by local lizard men, but they are unable to help one of the VERY injured PCs (because of the dissimilar physiology), which is suffering severe injuries, while the others are relatively unscathed. The following ensues:

p1 (injured one): so, can any one of you help?
p2 : ... sorry, I have no First Aid on my sheet. What about you, man?
p3 : Nope. I'm an engineer, remember - I treat damaged stuff, not people.
p4 : don“t worry, man I do have First Aid.
p1 : Yeah? Well, that's good. Which level?
p4 : ...1d (very low level, by the way)
p1 : Are you crazy? No, no way, don't even touch me!
p4 : Hey, man, don't worry, I'll put you back in no time.
p1 (draws his blaster and points at p4) Get away from me. I'll take my chances with the lizards...

Sometimes a memorable quote doesn't have any words at all...

The players in my Victorian fantasy game have learned that they must track down the Wendigo and destroy it. They are about to head into the frozen wilds of Canada.

They did some research and one of the things I, as GM, told them was that the Wendigo is supernaturally drawn to acts of cannibalism.

They all just started looking at each other.

It was at this point that I realized the campaign had gone terribly, terribly wrong...

Oh, I don't know. Sounds like they were finally getting their teeth into it. <ducks>
