[QUOTE="Gundark, post: 2001902, member: 6148"] We have a couple slangs we like to use at our gaming table. 1. Actual 20--said when a player rolls a 20 origin: we had a player who was new to the game and I think she miss understood what we were saying when we rolled a 20(which was "natural 20"). When she'd say "actual 20" we would say, "really! An actual 20?" She didn't find that funny. Now we use it all the time when someone rolls a 20. 2. "My character would have done that!"--said when we forget to say our character is doing a certain action or carrying a certain item...that turns out to be crucial. origin: same player as above never really plans out well what her characters are doing or carrying. When her lack of planning(telling the DM what she is doing or carrying) gets her in trouble she tries to say, "My character would have done that/carried that!!!" It worked when she was new but now she has been playing for awhile...too bad!! Now other members of the group try it. 3. "You snaked my kill!"--someone already mentioned this one but we have our own version. It's when one of us comes close to killing a monster and someone else comes in and takes the last few hit points. 4. "We have clearance"--said when someone can't think of what to say to an NPC--yes this is from Star Wars but it's funny at the time. origin: like I said this is from Star Wars and we had a player with the mind affect power. when using it he could never think of what to say except this one phrase(over and over and over again), "We have clearance!" 5. "I attack!"--we say this in memory of one guy we used to game with. He was the most silent person we had ever met. In the course of the gaming session he would barely say a word except in combat when he would say this one phrase, "I attack". 6. "The Carter effect"--said when someone drops their dice on the floor while trying to roll. origin: the same player from 1 and 2 is constantly dropping her dice on the floor while rolling. Sometimes when she is rolling it doesn't even contact the table but flies in the air in any random direction then lands on the floor. Also known as "pulling a Carter". This player does this at least 10 times a gaming session. 7. "The Golf Bag effect"--said when a character is carrying a bunch of items way past their carring capacity. origin: the player from #4 in our Star Wars D20 game would collect blaster rifles from dead storm troopers. One day after being disarmed he said, "I'll just grab my other blaster rifle." To which the DM looked at him puzzled, "How many blaster rifles are you carrying?" To which the player responded, "oh, about 10 of them." The DM choked on his drink then said, "What,...are you carrying them all in a golf bag?" Hence the above phrase. We realize others have come up with this phrase as well but we invented our phrase independent of anyone else. [/QUOTE]
