Memorable Quotes.

My IST New York game has, unfortunately, died. Two of the PCs moved and one of them is no longer gaming with us.

Today, I launched my new IST LA game, including three new gamers, one had played some GURPS, one had only played one other session of GURPS, and one who was only aware of GURPS because they're a huge Munchkin fan. None of them had ever played Supers before.

--
Me: The shot goes right over your head but Patriot catches it on his shield and is knocked back about thirty feet. Vitaly, are you bald?
Vitaly: Uh . . ..
Me: You are now.

Vitaly: Freaking forcefield! He's really made me mad. I'm going to punch the robot.
Vitaly (Rolls a 3)
Me (Make some rolls): All right, don't roll on the crit table, I know what effect I want. Roll damage.
Vitaly (Spectacular damage roll)
Me (Make some more rolls): Your punch bypasses the force field and you manage to punch through the robot's armored leg (robot is 15 yd tall). It falls backward. Shade, you're behind the robot. Make a dodge.
Shade: I think I'll try for an acrobatic dodge.
Vitaly: Be sure to make your acrobatics check.
Shade: Of course I will.
Shade (Rolls an 18)
Shade: Of course I won't!

All in all, great game with new players. They really enjoyed their characters. Even Harmonix who was taken out the first round of combat by a stray missile shot.
