[QUOTE="billd91, post: 1511408, member: 3400"] We've got a whole bunch of "inside jokes" around our table. Some date back about 20 years now. Everytime someone starts to talk deals with any NPCs I always scowl and say "I am altering the terms of the deal, pray I don't alter them further" because that happened to us once in a D&D game. We ended up traveling with BBEG to kill a major good hero because 2 PCs decided to try to save their own bacon by making a deal. That dates back about 7-8 years now. We used to play with a group called the Goon Squad when I was in high school. One of them used to badger me while I was talking with someone else, especially when his character was involved in a fight. "Duh, Bill.... Bill... Bill.... Bill..." And then start tapping me on the shoulder until I finally said, "WHAAAAT?" He returned with "Am I going to die?" I'd yell back "I don't know!" This happened a few times and now the rest of the guys who witnessed it keep bringing it back up. That's from about 20 years ago. Guess some people just can't let it rest. While watching TV or movies, one player has a tendency to say "Why can't we do that in your adventures, Dave?" (or Bill or whoever runs the game closest in character to the movie being watched). It's usually when something cool is happening on screen that his own character would never be able to get away with in game. A mark of just how bad this player thought the D&D movie was: He never uttered that phrase once while watching that festival of celluloid crapulance. [/QUOTE]
