That's not my games, that's my life.

And one of the others, (Onyx) chomping on any bits of exposed flesh she can find. (I am the only person in the family she bites). All the while, I am trying to keep the rest of them from sneaking back behind the computers and pulling out plugs. Fun times.

Default Re: Memorable Quotes.

A few from a game of Victorian Monster Hunters, while exploring a town house with questionable dimensional integrity and an abudance of life... but not as we know it.

Mostly OCC, but some actual quotes. Mostly out of context, because it's more fun that way:

NPC decapitated head: "Kill me... it hurts so much..."
Player 1: "I look for something to put the head in. Oooh, a pith helmet! I use that."
Player 2: "You need help."
Player 1 [to GM]: "Can her head be my familiar?"

PC3: "Do we even know that they're hostile?"
PC2: "It's a gibbering demon monkey!"
PC1: "How do you know it's demonic? Maybe it's just exotic?"
PC2: "It's got tentacles! Not even its mother loved it. I'm calling it. It's demonic."

PC1: "It's still my town house. The previous owner might have momentarily returned to a horrifying fascimile of life, but he was certified dead by a doctor and I didn't see any doctor certifying him undead."
PC3: "Maybe you ought to see a solicitor about the issue."
PC2: "Aren't demons and undead enough for you?"

Player 2: "Who'll go first to scout? Does anyone have better Stealth than my intrepid explorer and big game hunter?"
Other Players: "[Arguing about the unsuitability of their PCs to be the scout]"
GM: "Keep in mind that if the Explorer PC is the scout, that means he'll be unavailable as the guy covering the scout and he's the only good shot."
[beat]
Player 2: "That little Cockney kid who tried to sell us on him being the chimney sweep probably has decent Stealth and he's still small enough to get a SM modifier to it..."
Player 3: "We are not using the 11-year-old kid as bait!"
Player 2: "You're the one who's giving kids guns here. I'm just following your lead, Father."

PC1: "But we've killed the demonic spider!"
PC2: "Spider or spiders?"
PC1: "Why would you even say that?"

Player 3: "We follow the tracks of the two-legged goats. They look legit and safe."

GM: "You can hear shrill laughter among the misty trees, equal parts mischievous, childish and full of leering knowledge, in a voice far too deep and old to cackle like a schoolyard bully."
PC2: "This is why you don't give cigars and whiskey to small boys, Father."

PC1: "We could just go back..."
PC2: "Through spider country?"
PC1: "Right. [beat] Onward!"

Player 2: "Is that...?"
Player 3: "GOATBOY! Kill them all with holy fire!"

Player 3: "Yeah! Now Goatboy has a bayonet in him and the power of Christ compelling him."
Player 2: "Plus he doesn't seem to be well-endowed."
GM: "The shaggy goat creature is only 4' tall. Proportionally, he's doing okay."
Player 2: "Pfui. It's a little boy's pee-pee. - Not that they're not okay to scratch an itch.."

GM: "The last of the shaggy goat creatures snaps out of his daze, stops lazily gurgling wine and starts to roll off the bloody pile of whimpering bodies. Evidence of his total lack of amusment is supplied by the wilting of his erect member."
Player 3: "Hah! How do you like that, Goatboy!? I killed all your buddies!"
Player 2: "GM already said he didn't like it."

GM: "The smoke is coming from a short man-like creature standing next to the minotaur. It's wearing a rather natty evening suit and top hat, smoking a cigarette from a silver mouthpiece. It appears to be an ape, most likely a chimpanzee."
Player 2: "I don't know if I can shoot that. He's far too cute."
GM: "He's eating a drumstick with his other hand. Seems to be a human arm."
Player 2: "Fine, I'll shoot the damn chimp in a top hat!"
Player 3: [cues Puttin' on the Ritz]
Player 2: "I'm taking special care not to shoot the top hat. Base of the head, yes, but not the top hat. [beat] Nobody better touch that top hat. That's my swanky top hat now."

Default Re: Memorable Quotes.

Not exactly a quote, but a campaign phrase that has entered our slanguage.

In our one-on-one Supers campaign, the brilliant and beautiful Dr. Mist went to the rescue of a reporter friend only to get knocked out herself. When she woke up, she had been abducted to a small factory used by the supervillain, somewhere in Delaware. She had been handcuffed and stripped down, since the villain was aware she was a gadgeteer who could have wondrous devices hidden anywhere.

She survived the planned deathtrap, but for secret ID purposes (long story), had to arrange for herself to be found at the factory by the police, apparently the victim of a celebrity kidnapping.

Ever since then, whenever her police officer husband thinks she's about to go off on her own and do something reckless, the following exchange usually takes place.

He: "Remember, no more Delawares."
She: "No more Delawares."

EDIT: OK, sometimes, it gets more elaborate, as seen in one of my earlier posts here:

STEVE: (Smile) "Let's just say I'm good at recognizing patterns."
MIST: "You know, I only got one mysterious call from her. Okay, so I ended up naked in Delaware, but one incident is hardly cause for a pattern."

The Colonial Marines have crash-landed on a planet where a local tells them that something on this world causes the dead to rise again shortly after being killed. To ensure they stay dead, recently killed beings need to have their brains pierced/destroyed. The only officer amongst the group is also their Doctor. IRL he's a professor.

Doc: Okay... so if I get killed make sure before you pierce my brain!
<Half of us give him funny looks>
Engineer: Dude, don't you mean check before we pierce your brain??
Doc: Yes!! Yes, do that first before you make sure!!

From my Star Wars game last month:

<Mekyla> "There's a planet here."
<Lyeana> "We could fix that, you know."
<Leslie> "Now now, Lyeana, one mustn't waste planets. You never know when they could come in handy."
<Jaddak> "Not even you can destroy an entire planet"
<Jaddak> "Destroy all life on said planet I have no doubt but actually destroy it ...no"
<Dmitri> "The day one person can destroy a whole planet is the day I call it quits and retire to Alderaan..."

Well he probably didn't think the other PCs would be quite that dumb.

From my current Mage game over Skype:

"If you talk more, I'm going to have to give your lawyer more penalties..."

"Does Nevada still have that rule where if you survive three executions, they let you go free?"
"I don't think anywhere has that rule..."

"I am Queen Dick Hit!"
One of my players shouted that after her random hit location rolls came up "Groin" several times in a roll. She's now keeping a tally of her character's strikes to the groin.
