[QUOTE="DarrenGMiller, post: 2433978, member: 23174"] We have been at it since 2000 and there are a ton of running gags, even though only one player has been with me the whole time, they have been given to the new players as well and have lived on. Here is a sampling: [b]"Ale & Whores"[/b] - There was a PC whose battle cry and all he ever thought about was the two aforementioned items. They morphed into a second running gag during a D20 Modern game based on Stephen King's [i]Dark Tower[/i] series (see below). [b]"Taters & Gravy"[/b] - Taken from Stephen King's [i]Dark Tower[/i] for my D20 Modern game, this became a "poor man's" counterpart to the above. [b]"Don't impose your Judeo-Christian values on me!"[/b] - We had a female gamer in our group who looked pretty hot and always wore revealing goth-inspired garments to sessions. In one game, she was playing a member of the "oldest profession" yet she refused to ply her wares for any reason. When NPC's made outrageous monetary offers, she refused, when almost the only thing between a TPK and escape was her PC's practicing of her trade, she refused. When another PC gifted her with a small treasure hoard of gems and gold, she "got a headache." When another player questioned how she was role-playing her character based on the PC's background of having been a prostitute from the time she was a young girl and using it to her advantage, he got frustrated with her backpedaling and excuses and told her, "You're playing a harlot for God's sake!" She replied, "Don't you impose your Judeo-Christian values on me!" [b]"That's broken & retarded!"[/b] - We had one player who called any rule he didn't like "broken" and another who called rules he didn't like "retarded." I called them on it and the catchphrase immediately took flight. [b]"Mittens the Mighty Archer"[/b] - The nickname of a PC who cast Continual Flame on his gauntlets to increase his "bling factor." The player left soon after the nickname was bestowed. [b]"Oh Gawd & baby dragons"[/b] - Taken from the Jerky Boys character who said, "Oh God and baby Jesus." Used to be spoken with a dead-on impersonation by a player who was great at voice impressions." [b]"That was my nickname in high school."[/b] - We have a player who responds with this to almost everything we say. It is actually pretty funny, especially when the conversation goes like this: DM - "You see a huge deformed giant with one eye." Player - "That was my nickname in high school." I am sure there are more that I will think of later. DM [/QUOTE]
