Funny quotes from the Game Table

It's the equivalent of subtitles.

He could have said "And you hear "RAAAAIIIISSSSHHHNNIIIEEELLL" but he decided that interpretation is not something that should be left too much to the player's imagination.

As such it was ""ARRRRGGHH!" in Elvish"

Clarity is very important when a DM narrates.

I played in a campaign where the PC's were low-level superheroes in the contemporary/modern world. One of the characters was Professor Big Head. He never went out on missions--just stayed at HQ and thought about everything. So the GM devised something to get him involved and typed it up. We didn't play for about six weeks, so she read what she had written at the table.

"... and when you finishing doing your anal sis, you learn that...."

Some words just shouldn't be broken up over two pages, especially if a letter is missing.

Some funny quotes so far, but in the end, my bottom line anal sis of this thread would probably be uncomfortably harsh and inappropriate...​

...so I'll just keep it to myself...



p.s.: I wanted to give XP also, but I have to spread some around first...​

That's probably for the best. Someone would only end up being the butt of the joke otherwise.

That comment was going to be in the form of an XP line, but I must spread some around before sending any more your way.

''We're gonna score tonight!''

This was after My PC and a friend's were invited to join a beautiful pair of NPCs to the backroom. NPCs that the DM had taken great pain to describe as feral looking. In Ravenloft... Yeah, they were werewolves. And of course we had guessed that as players but it was just too funny an opportunity.

The DM was a newbie so we made life easy for him. As he was at a loss of how to avoid a TPK we just described our PCs walking into the backroom and then moments later running out, screaming like little girls (The 'Screaming like little girls' part was vididly demonstrated).

Adding a letter can be bad too. When I was working for an accounting firm my boss asked me to print up labels to put on the CDROM case of software we loaned out to employees. Instead of it reading:

"For internal use only"

It came out as:

"For interanal use only"

I was REALLY glad I caught that one before I sent it out! For the next few weeks my co-workers and I found interesting uses for the labels.

One single moment shines above all others in my memory, and the memories of my friends. Valerie was playing Auren, a dumb-as-rocks nordic amazonian barbarian. Jeff, the DM thought it would be fun to give her an intelligent sword that would try and shape her into a hero of its own imagining. But he also thought it would be neat if the sword was a bit of an egomaniac, and wanted its wielder to shout its name as a warcry. He didn't explain that last part too clearly though, thinking it should come as a surprise. So we got this exchange:

Jeff: A group of Kuo-ta round the corner in front of you. Roll for initiative.
Valerie: 22.
Jeff: You're up first.
Valerie: Auren draws her sword and charges!
Jeff: SAY MY NAME!!!
Valerie: . . . J. Jeff?

Combat was delayed for about ten minutes of laughter.

This past weekend we played Gamma World 4e for the first time. I rolled up a plant-mind coercer. I wasn't really sure how to RP my character, I got the idea to use a yield sign for my characters face, and for some reason decided he should be a gangsta.

we meet a laptop attached to a wagon rolling through the post apocalyptic wasteland. I stick my face in front of him, communicating to him to stop.

The rest of the party jumps from a moving train, I yell, "don't leaf me behind!"

We get to a secret base in the middle of the wasteland, when prompted by the DM to describe what we do as we interact with the entrance sensors (complete with mini guns) my plant leaps forward and says, "Yo I got these pizzas from Sylvio's".
