[QUOTE="Trevalon Moonleirion, post: 259281, member: 492"] Well, this one is mostly used by me when I'm DMing. I'll just go on describing a room elaborately, and then interject, "But...Of more immediate concern to you..." followed by an nigh-inevitable attack from something nasty. Ya know.. I might've only used that like once or twice... oh well.. I plan on using it more anyhow... LOL. Another thing that I'll do on occaision to really piss off my players (especially the original two) is stick the example of play from the 2e PHB into the middle of an adventure. Cut stone blocks placed in rooms nearly always draw angry glares from those two. Ya know, I really can't think of anything else right at the moment and it's bugging the hell out of me. EDIT: MORE! This is a running gag among my players and I as well... I wonder if there's a common source for this phenomenon... The Dead Alewives, of course, get quoted quite a bit at the table. Lately, Fayredeth has loved joking about trying to pick up women in-game. "Are you from Venus? Cuz that ass is outta this world!!!" When we played Ravenloft, late, late at night, much stuff for the quotebook was created... "Strahd's a pedophile" being one of them. You see, they encounter the room in his castle with the young girl--not a kid, just a young girl--and instantly that pops up. From my fellow ENWorld poster Fayredeth, we got a lovely little song about Strahd (to the tune of Mambo No. 5 by Lou Bega, and of course done in a "count" voice...like the Count on Sesame street): One, Two, Three, Four-Five, It may look like it, but i'm not a-live!..." There's a bit more but I can't remember it really. Continuing with that line of thought, everytime I mentioned Count Strahd I'd hear "Von! Ah! Two Ah! Ah! Three! Ah! Ah! Ah!" just like the Count on Sesame Street. I think that's all for the moment. I'll update as i think of more... lol EDIT 2: But wait, there's more! This is from when Fayredeth was DMing. I was playing my rather ugly cleric of ...oh I can't even remember the god or godess in his world. Anyhow, I solve a puzzle in this maze and Fay describes various things while I'ms till wandering around. He seems to be gettting frustrated but I'm not really sure why. He then jumps up and says "[INSERT GOD NAME HERE] appears in front of you, bitchslaps you and tells you to get out of the ****ing maze!!!" [/QUOTE]
