    Just wondering if you have any amusing quotes that came up during roleplaying sessions, like the immortal "i wanna attack the darkness" flash. Here's a few of mine:

    DM: Roll for initiative
    Player:<Rolls 20> I Have CRITICAL INITIATIVE!

    DM: In the room there is a small box
    Player: I want to use disarm device
    DM: Theres no device
    Player: What is there
    DM: A gnome
    Player: I want to disarm the gnome

    DM: In this room you see 2 chests.....This is surprising, as you can see neither heads nor arms

    DM: You see a gnoll
    Player: I want to tell him theres an ogre in the next room that killed all his friends
    DM: <Rolls dice>......he believes you and charges into the bottomless pit

    DM: This room contains rocks, and a mysterious stain
    Player: A mysterious stain?
    DM: I randomly generated the room
    Player: Let's not do that any more
    DM: Yeah

    DM: The blind attendant consults a clipboard, then admits you

    DM: I have to generate the trap
    Player: a skeleton is going to jump out of the chest?
    DM: huh?
    Player: That's the random encounter table
    DM: oh...



    These were discussions between a PCs and a NPCs:
    DM: You exit the room. In the corridoor you see a cross-dressing italian
    Player: I'd like to interact with the Italian
    Player(IC): Do you speak Common?
    DM(IC): Ciao!
    Player(IC): Do you speak Dwarven?
    DM(IC): Bonjour!
    Player(IC): Do you speak Elvish?
    DM(IC): Gracias!
    Player(IC): Do you speak Draconian?
    DM(IC): Ciao!
    Player: I'd like to attack the italian
    <Initiative is rolled>
    DM: The italian sexually harassess you. You are now pregnant with his child
    Player: I would like to call it quits and shake his hand<this is RPed>I would like to cast shocking grasp
    DM: The italian is ash
    [The preceeding was part of an otherwise normal game]

    DM: You must slay the three ogres
    Player: I can't, I'm allergic to ogres
    DM: Oh, go on. They're not that scary, running around with their little claws, and their black and white stripes
    <later>
    Player:I slew the badgers
    DM: You slew the badgers???? Well done! They're HUGE!

    DM: You must bring me a gnoll tooth
    Player: where would I find one of those?
    DM: in a gnoll's mouth.
    Player: (OOC) Can I kill the sage?

    Oh we had loads of these. We keep a notepad of silly things people say. Off the top of my head...hmm These are all from mage.

    ST : You look across the room, at the table are two men in a suit...

    *

    Player 1 running up : What's up there?
    Player 2 running down : GUNS!

    *

    Player : Couldn't you coincidentally massage my head?

    *

    Newly arrived young man ST (ic): "I'm a fairy!"



    *

    ST(IC) : He points your flower at you angrily

    *

    Player : Can I use magic to get him to tell me the real reason.
    ST : No. Get two paradox. Take three levels of lethal damage. You're on fire. Something eats you and a speedboat falls on your head.
    Player : Oh

    *

    Player : Could I...
    ST : No whatever it is, of course not.

    DM: You...You want to confuse your goblin captors... by dancing at them?

    Players: Yes! And while they're confused we sort of dance out of the camp!

    (Dice rolls. Many critical successes.)

    DM: Wow...Fine, as long as everybody roleplays it. You two have to dance, and the rest of you have to pretend to be the goblins egging them on...

    (Much high pitched screaming as the two girls tango out the door...)

    (All flesh must be eaten, the zombies have just broken out)

    DM: You see Zombies everywhere, shambling slowly towards you

    Player: Are they real zombies, or infected by a virus?

    DM: A zombie eats you, because it's a f*cking ZOMBIE. Anyone else want to ask stupid questions?

    DM: On the horizon...oops, no wait, I wasn't supposed to read that yet!
    Player: I look towards the horizon.
    (Pause)
    All: Which one?

    Player: I want to sneak quickly but unconspicuously across the room.
    Keeper: So basically you want all the advantages of sneaking but none of the disadvantages?
    Player: That's correct.

    Player: I'm a journalist.
    Keeper: Oh really? What paper do you work for?
    Player: The one, um, on the street.

    Me: Hmm, I think I can see the pattern for these switches-

    Other player: I PULL ALL THE LEVERS!

    DM: Um.. What?

    Other player: ALL OF THEM! AT THE SAME TIME!

    DM: Er, you do know there's a safe pattern to-

    Other player: I RUN UP TO THE LEVERS AND PULL THEM ALL!

    DM: Oh no...

    Me: Right, that's it. I grab her and stuff her into my bag of holding.

    (Playing Vampire The Masquerade)

    GM: So let me get this right- There's a sniper somewhere in this fuel depot shooting at you with explosive rounds, and you're taking cover behind the barrels?

    Player: Uh... Yes?

    (GM silently hands Player a fresh character sheet...)

    Poor woman. She went through three characters in one day, all vampires. One fell from a 25th story and got captured and sold as a Giovanni sex slave, another got blasted to pieces in the above dialogue, and the third gave attitude to the boss...

    So many quotes from my games, cant really remember too many unfortunately.

    I had just started a new game as a feral planar halfling barbarian with filed teeth who had been dropped through a dimensional rift into the grounds of a good aligned temple.

    When confronted by the hgh priest of the temple, i resorted to intimidation. I rolled a 20 on an intimidate check. The high priest was stunned, then my barbarian tried to run and jump a 20 foot wall. *splatted* about half way up it and knocked himself out (lev 1 char)....

    DM: "well you definitely convinced him that you ARE a dangerous lunatic"

    ====

    Another game. One of our players polymorphed into an umberhulk and began digging a tunnel through a mountain (dont ask me why!). Half way through, an enemy turned up and cast earthquake.

    Our player : "Ha im an umberhulk - im immune to mountains!" *SQUISH*

    ========

    One of our players was playing as a lizardman - walking crocodile basically. Another player had been feebleminded and was walking around in a happy daze. He bounced up to the lizardman grinning.
    The lizardman : "ooh look, a happy meal!"

    ========

    oh i wish i could remember more.. Those ones are nowhere near the funniest ones..

    One from Gaelcon (which has gone down as legend now but really was a genuine occurance, I was there!)

    DM: In this room you see 4 kobolds and a gazebo.
    Players: We all attack the gazebo!
    DM: Er, ok...
    Players: what happens?
    DM: well the kobolds all get free strikes and the gazebo is now wooden pieces...

    ***

    Massive party dispute at the end of a Trial-By-Dungeon where only one person can be found not guilty. The wizard puts on his glove of jumping-5-rounds-into-the-future and decides to return when there is only one left. The rest of the party decide to attack the guards and make a break for it, which they do! Leaving the wizard locked in the dungeon for all eternity....
    (ps: we wrote him into the official release of the scenario afterwards as an insane wandering encounter in the dungeon :) )

    ***

    I DM'ed a group who were in the badlands where anarchy basically reigned. Before going into the dungeon the group bought a wand with permanent Detect Traps cast on it and a half dozen slave hobbits. Find trap, toss in hobbit, see how trap works, disarm trap. Simple!

    DeV.

    That's what they're for. A friend of mine hates halflings so much that in nearly every game he runs, all halflings were wiped out in some ancient catastrophe. Dirty little beggars...
