Are you sick and tired of quoted movies during your D&D sessions?

[Alloran]

My group doesn't have a problem with movies, but they do have a problem with quoting humourous things the/their characters have said, including (but not limited to) "Servernt, hand me my Dwarf." Things that, while hilariously funny in context, aren't anymore.

 

[Keeper of Secrets]

I would much rather have my players quoting various things from the past than a bunch of movie lines.

 

[Gez]

There are a few movie quotes (especially Holy Grail, this movie is so universally used during game sessions it could be branded as a D&D accessory, I mean -- what group has never used a Holy Grail quote in game?), but they are insignificant compared to the number of puns.

No it doesn't bother me

Am I drunk yet?

I cast Magic Missile

I attack the Darkness


i love movie quotes. it helps break up the monotone dialogue.




but truthfully i'm more partial to book/poetry/newspaper/magazine quotes.

Get thee to a nunnery.

No no no.
I'm talking about movies that have been ruined for me (or you) because of the incessant quoting during gaming sessions. Braking the monotony is one thing, but quoting the same line from a movie every single time you perform a certain action in the game...Argh!

It is impossible for me to fairly judge certain movies anymore due the sheer number of gamers over the years quoting them.

I'm sure I could enjoy a Monty Python movie if I'd never heard about it through my gamer friends.

Just to note, my gaming group limits the quoting because they know it drives me nuts.

I guess it could be worse...
They could be overquoting the Dungeons & Dragons movie. :\
"Snaiillllssss!"

Sometimes I quote things so often it makes me scared of how much of a dork I am. But the quotes don't necessarily happen in game. In game, we quote each other much more than we quote outside sources. However, it's always a good time for Monty Python. I personally like to quote regularly from The Gamers.

But if you think gamers quote alot, just hang out with a bunch of theatre people. Oh man.

 

[KnowTheToe]

I hate this. Last year I had one player that would quote movies during the entire game session. I wondered what someone must do to learn so many lines of so many different movies. It drove me nuts. I run a game for college students and am glad he is not in my game this year. My old gaming group started getting bad at this. It would be 20 minutes of people trying to out quote each other. But, that was a group I always enjoyed gaming with, I just hated all of the friggin quotes.

Badgers? We don't need no stinkin' Badgers...







Mystery Man, good one... all my years of schooling didn't go to a waste afterall

 

[Aust Diamondew]

People in my group have quoted movies/otherstuff but haven't done it so incessantly that it's ruined a movie. One of my players who is playing a minoaur has taken to saying, "you f@&% with the bull you get the horns" right before he tries to gore someone, if it gets annoying I'll tell him to stop.

We heard it while watching some mafia movie.

What is with D&D and the Holy Grail anyway?
