Great In-Game Moments
Posted: Sat Aug 06, 2005 2:39 pm
When playing any RPG and having fun, people often have situations that become memorable. These moments might be funny, dramatic, or caused by a stroke of genious or a moment of stupidity, but they're the parts that you remember a long time later. Dragonmech is a setting that is quite capable of creating plenty of situations one might never encounter in most other RPGs, so I was wondering if anybody here has had any experiences worth sharing.
I haven't started my first DM game yet (despite owning DM for over a year, I'm just now getting one together), but I do have a somewhat amusing note from a character creation brainstorm with a friend. My friend is creating an "eccentric" gnome coglayer with (among several other notable quirks) has a thing with grease. It's not a fascination, a hobby, or even an obsession (well, maybe an obsession), but he loves grease of all kinds. Something that he's dying to say in a game, and quite likely to happen, is as follows:
Any situation where the little greasemonkey needs to get into a tight place to do repairs to something (such as fixing a mech after combat). He points to the nearest female and asks if she has or can get any grease. Upon any affirmative reply he'll strip to his underwear, hold out his arms, and shout "Grease me up, woman!"
Maybe you'd have to hear him say it aloud in person. Trust me, it's funnier then. But I'm sure that others here have some more dramatic, humorous, or otherwise interesting stories, so what have you got?
