[QUOTE="coz, post: 2434476, member: 6631"] "Bobby goes to the wall" or "Bobby went to the wall": One character in a campaing I used to run, at some point was defending a town from impending attack, it was a high-level game, and he was in charge of the town guardsmen, etc. At some point he left the town's command center, and he issued orders to pass the message along that he was going to the wall. From then on, if anyone asked about the whereabouts of said character, the NPC would reply with something like "I heard that Bobby went to the wall". "I'm going to smoke some knowledge": One character in the same campaign was a user of a certain 'herbal' remedy shall we say also happened to be a follower of the god of knowledge, somehow this 'herb' became associated with the god of knowledge. The god of knowledge, who never forgets anything, found this extremely humorous. "Bruce Almighty": Another character in the same campaign, happened to be a cleric of the god of knowledge (who had no name), would refer to his deity as Bruce Almighty...this was two years before the movie of the same name came out. "I search for trouble": Another character, this time a halfling druid, would, when bored, decide to "search for trouble", she would even make a search roll for it...to this day she does it in other people's games, and other people do it in my games...what a helpful tool for GMs who want to spring 'trouble' on their hapless PCs. *Arms spread wide* "You're going to have to be more specific.": In a game of hunters hunted (old skool 2e vampire supplement for playing mortal hunters), the PC group would have a habit of hitting the local goth/industrial club (Club Morose) to look for vampire or supernatural activity (you could say they were searching for trouble, but this reference comes before that one), but back to the tale at hand, they would go up to the bartender, and ask: "Seen anything weird tonite?" or something to that effect, and the bartender, with arms spread wide, would say "You're going to have to be more specific." For the uninitiated, a typical Goth/Industrial club will have folks dressed all in black, usually looking like punks, goths, metal heads, doms (and their slaves), transvestites, and folks in fetish wear. The above quote ended up in many of my other games over the years. And then of course there one of my favorite local cons, Running Gagg ([url]www.runninggagg.org)[/url], run by the Geneseo Area Gaming Group in upstate NY, as I understand it, Gag was a squirrell wizard of some sort who showed up in a member of that group's campaign often enough that he became a Running Gag...I wasn't there, I only know parts of the story, second or third hand.
