[Spycraft] My Season: Latest session update... amusing tale inside

[SurfMonkey01]

So this past weekend my group and I dove back into my Spycraft season. The session went swimmingly... I was immensely pleased with each and every one of them. They found all of the clues to the background truths of my increasingly-complicated plotline, and brushed off the fact the evil megacorporation had the logo of the Umbrella corporation as me being too lazy to come up with my own logo I was shocked if not proud when they set a trap for my major two NPCs... one that they were then shocked to learn that these two were not enemies, but rather old allies... not that it mattered, they ended up dead anyways. But, not before they "delivered the package." I'll try to transcript this bit, it's hilarious:

Me: One of the sides of the crate falls open... it's full of bodies
All: Bodies? (Confused looks by all four of the players)
About 20 seconds pass, then the Wheelman player's face changes to the "Oh ----" face (he's a big Cthulhu and Resident Evil fan)
Wheelman: Oh f***! F***ing zombies!!! Motherf***ing zombies!!!
Everyone else: Huh? (Still confused faces)
Me: One of the bodies begins to move...
All: WHAT?!?
Wheelman: Goddamn zombies!! You Delta Green motherf***er! Motherf***ing zombies!! You goddamn Delta Green motherf***er!!!
Everyone else: Zombies? Huh? What?
Me: More of the bodies begin to move... they're all slowly getting up
Wheelman(as he readies his rocket launcher): Run! Get to the f***ing car now!!!
Zombies explode from big friggin rocket, players run like hell...

For the past two days now, any conversation I've had with these players has segued into "f***in' zombies!" It's great! They never saw it coming... hehe...

[edited to correct the somewhat major spelling mistakes it took me two days to notice...]

Sounds like my GURPS Horror days. Of course I also had psionic yuppie terroists, wizards who possesed race car drivers and people who owned demonicaly possesed Veritech fighters ... as my players.

Now for the vilians ... nevermind.

Hey, you damn well know that I bought that Varitech fighter fair and square. I just needed the demonic possesion to get more points for the thing...

Hey, that sounds like a cool Spycraft game...

...although I'm slightly miffed at the false advertising in the thread title...

 

[SurfMonkey01]

False advertising? How so? I thought the string of obscenities was rather amusing, although maybe not quite a "tale" per se... at any rate, sorry. Would you like a refund?

Heh. In our last Spycraft game (run exquisitely by Sagrabah), we had a particular scene that would have appeared in the Bloopers section of our campaign's DVD.

Picture: we're in a souped-up Humvee racing out of a compound. A mercenary who just sent a clean-up crew in to clean us up is 300 yards away, and a black helicopter is rising from behind a low hill to pick him up. Strapped in to the Humvee, we're bouncing and jolting across a field as the wheelman hits the nitrous ozide booster.

Wheelman: "I'm gonna get that bastard!"
Control: "He's in a helicopter. You're in a vehicle."
Wheelman: "He's behind a small hill, right?"
Control: (suspiciously) "Yessssss?"
Wheelman: "Good. I'm going to use the hill as a jump and ram this humvee right into its side."
Faceman (me): "Err... I'm not so sure that..."
Fixer: "I'm getting ready to jump."
Wheelman: "It's your idea."
Faceman: "...What?"
Wheelman: "You said we should stop them. I'm stopping them. If you don't want me to obey orders, then you shouldn't give them to me."
Faceman: "But this isn't what I..."
Wheelman: "Whoo hoo!"

The humvee roars at 60 mph up the small hill, directly at the helicopter.

Control: "It's a drive vs pilot roll. Roll it."
Wheelman (with a stricken look): "I rolled a 1."
Control (with a gleeful look): "I am so activating that fumble. He rolled a critical success."
Faceman: (buries face in hands)

THUPTHUPTHUPTHUP

As the humvee takes to the air, the helicopter jerks sharply downwards. Boosted by the nitrous oxide, the truck soars over the lethally spinning copter blades, clearing them by a good foot or so, and arcs nose down towards a ditch.

Wheelman: "I'm bailing out!"
Fixer: "I jump!"
Faceman (failing the jump check): "Bloody hell. My seatbelt is stuck."

WHOOMPH! The humvee buries itself face down in a ditch and flips entirely over. The airbags deploy. And as the helicopter picks up the mercenary and flies away, two agents take pot-shots at the departing copter while the third dangles upside-down in a smoking vehicle.

Faceman: "We're really going to have to have a chat about defensive driving."

 

[Morgenstern]

ROFLMAO!

That was sweet !

(I like the zombies too - the "Oh ----!" face is on a player is a thing of joy for any GM)

 

[Piratecat]

Heh. At this very moment - this very moment, mind you! - my agent just took a critical hit to the chest and was knocked unconscious in one shot. By the chief enemy. With my allies nowhere nearby.

I am so screwed.

My pointman infiltrated the enemies by using disguise and a larynx inplant. My allies followed behind us. It seems to have backfired.

Sniff.

Piratecat's Faceman is alone on the enemy yacht pulling out into the English Channel. Disguised as a key pawn he's taking cues from from the real mark through his earpiece as she watches through I micro cam attached to his clothes.

Mary (the mark): That's him! That's my coustin Calvin! Thank god he's still alive!

Faceman: Calvin! <hugs Calvin> I'm so glad your still alive! <whispered to Calvin> Follow along and pretend I'm Mary.

He turns around to see the kidnapping enemy pointing a gun at him.

Faceman: I thought you were going to let us live? I gave you the bomb! But you should know.. I have a grenade in my purse (sticks hand in purse clutching a taser)

Kinkaid: Mary.. tsk tsk. I was just going to drug you but now I'm going to have to kill you.

In a practiced move the faceman pulls the taser, steps forward and tags Kinkaid. He writhes, but shakes off the stunning effect.

Kinkaid: Mary, you really shouldn't have done that...
<thwip!> The silenced .45 slugs "Mary" in the chest at point blank and "she" goes down in a heap.

The micro camera spins wildly and stops suddenly facing upward at the ceiling. Somewhere behind the yacht a speedboat comes roaring up...

Just call me Deady McSpurtSpurt.

Wait - I may live! Yay, action dice....
