One day Blackshirt5 and I were hanging out at the local WotC, before they removed the gaming tables in the back of the store.
Our group's best DM, Ricky, was going to gen up a char for Blackshirt's D&D game, but his friend Ted shows up wearing full plate greaves...in the MALL. Since it was his birthday...and this is TED we're talking about..this is not out of the ordinary. So as a birthday gift to Ted, Ricky decides to run a small session in his homebrew Game: Fable.
Now, keep in mind that NO-ONE besides Ricky knew how the system itself worked, we just knew what to roll for attack and dodge. But it worked and was a lot of fun, so we stuck with it. ANYway, in this game, you could play and do ABSOLUTELY anything you wanted, depending on the power level Ricky decides the group will be at.
Anyway, for this session of Fable(which is mega-futuristic, BTW), Blackshirt and I are handed NPCs to play for the day, all in good fun. I get a piddly little engineer with a Magi Bolter(Magi is another word for the embodiment of creation in this game, so this thing is dangerous), another guy with us who we will call Carbomb is playing yet another engineer with a bolter, and Blackshirt gets to play a big-game hunter named Drender who carries a huge anti-matter cannon that requires that you set up supports before you fire it.
So la de da five minutes into the session we're walking through a forest looking for some way to get spare parts for our ship
: COMBAT! HAHA! Ted's character, a dragoon-type on something akin to a hoverboard gets attacked by this big blobby mass of flesh from out of nowhere. Ted does his slashy thing with his spear, stabbing it quite a bit, I shoot my little pistol at it...and miss, and then Drender whips out his CANNON. He sets it up, sets the damage setting (from 0{maim}-9{Ludicrous overkill}) to...3. Then he takes a shot at this blob of flesh, and everyone goes blind and flies back about 80 feet. When we regain our vision, we see that not only has Drended taken out this blob, he CLEARED A PATH THROUGH THE FOREST! I don't think I need to explain that any further. Remember though, that that gun was on LOW.
Of course, Blackshirt falls in love with the gun and dubs it the Frappe 9,000.
On a completely non-thread related note, I'm going to tell another equally silly part of the session, as well.
So eventually we end up in a clearing, and we see this big-ass bear lying in the middle of it. The dragoon flies up and stabs it, and nothing happens. He stabs it again, and gets swatted as the bear's paw whaps him as if trying to wave off a fly. He stabs it again, and the bear gets up...and smiles.
"How ya doin'?" We're all dumbfounded. "What're ya doin' in mah woods?"
Uh.... "We're trying to find spare parts for our ship, actually."
"Yeah, I can get that for you, but first." He shape-shifts into Santa Claus... "you have to defeat my warriors in battle!"
"Umm.....sure."
"Good times!" Santa smiles and out of a portal pops a cute little reindeer. "This is Dancer, if you take him out, you go on to the next one."
Ted decapitates in less than a second.
"On Prancer!" I shoot it in the head.
"On Donner!" Drender whips out the Frappe 9,000, turns it to 9, and terraforms the forest, along with Donner.
Santa smiles, it's Carbomb's turn. He has his gun ready. Santa chuckles evilly. "Oh, Apocolypse!" A 18-foot tall jet-black reindeer with jet-black fur and glowing red eyes steps out of the portal.
Carbomb: "Mommy!" The huge deer impales Carbomb's engineer with his antlers and bucks around, chucking his body into the pile of ashes where the forest used to be.
Long story short, we flee for our lives from the 18-foot tall, jet-black, red-eyed, hell-spawned reindeer.
