We had one like this. The whole campaign, the street sam has wanted to use his missile launcher. Really, really wanted to use it. But cooler heads have prevailed, and no missiles have been launched. But we're prowling around in a pretty dangerous place one day, so he's got it with him. Well, this attack helicopter drops out of the clouds, and blows the ever living hell out of our sniper. She lives, but that pretty well sucked. And it's turning, trying to pinpoint the rest of us, most of whom are a good bit more fragile than the sniper. The street sam player turns to the rest of us, and gets the unanimous answer he's been looking for all along, "Yes, now it's time for the missile launcher." Missile goes up, many dice are rolled, many dice come up success. So many dice, in fact, that with anti-missile systems, and trying to dodge, and everything else the chopper pilot can do, it's all for naught. Then we discovered what wonderful things happen when an anti-vehicle missile hits a helicopter. It was a pretty sturdy helicopter, as such things go. Body around 5, armor about the same. Could stand up to light arms fire without any problem. But 16D anti-vehicular was just a bit more than it could handle. Of course, ever since, the street sam has been even more eager to use the missile launcher than he was before. Now he's gotten a taste of it. :) |

Could be worse. (Upon having all of the character's contacts dry up..except for one...) PC: Hey Lofwyr...I was wondering if you had any work for me. (Never willingly ask to do a dragon's dirty-work) |

GM: "Roll body against a TN of 8, get 8 successes or die."
Player: Rolls dice. "Honey, how many did you say? 7?" GM: "Why, is that how many you need so we have sex tonight?" Player: "Well, 8 gets you blue-balled." Okay, this ain't too funny but I tried. |

GM to me after my character gets shot, "you should go find a book, we'll roll to see how bad it is later" somehow I survived a pistol round to the forehead.
"That many dice and the Mage got a better stealth roll??" (adept with improved stealth open test result 5) GM: you don't see anyhting the building is dark dwarf sniper: I have thermo GM you see a large figre, about the same size as the other groups leader he's moving strangly DS: I shoot him GM; you hear a female scream, and a body drops from in front of him DS: was that the hostage? GM Evil grin GM roll one die.. oh its a one is it...." Evil grin after a long lonestar interogation, the PC is let go, he looks back and says "can I have my guns back, ya know it aint easy to get ahold of an IWS....." "oh so that was yours too?" Evil grin "so you trust this guy?" "Totaly" GM Roll preseption "oh shit" (there's aways a reason to look around right?) "can i roll my seduction skill? is it an open or opposed?" GM "Na, just roll willpower, you ain't got a chance" "she's that hot huh?" "yep, oh roll body" "WTF???" "you see her smile as the gamma takes hold" "Not again!" |

GM: So you're just cruising in your car, then, right? Do me a favor, figure out the signature for your vehicle.
----------------- GM looks up stats for a critter in the Critters handbook, and pleasant surprise flashes in his/her eyes and says, "Oh shi..." ----------------- Far too often, when faced with overwhelming odds, the Sammy, who is known for his incredibly bad rolls at the most crucial times, tends to say this just before the baddies get to go, "It's okay. I'm impervious to attack." |

In most cases, I don't think these are examples from actual games, FlakJacket :)

He wouldn't be saying that if the round was EXEX.
EXEX, when you want that ripe melon explosion. |

no, it was a reg round, and my character had two boxes of over damage left, the mage cast stabalize on me as i hit the ground (fell off the troll's sholders that I was standing on to look in a window) and they hauled me into a corner while a twenty muinute firefight (game time) ensued, he said that because he knew that I was supposed to be doing homework, and figured that most of us would be doing new characters by the end on the run. luckly docwagon snatched me and I only lost my leg.... I guess I broke something in the fall? and according to my teamates, I was not left unscathed (he got a bit unhinged under fire after that, to the point of poping anyone who looked at him after being shot at.)

GM: You see a small ornate wooden box in the middle of an empty room. It looks like a puzzled box.
PLAYER: I pick it up and examine it GM: You see that you can twist a circle imprinted on it. PLAYER: okay, I do that. GM: The box jumps out of your hands and onto the floor, it opens wierdly and then closes. You feel a sudden gust of wind. PLAYER: I pick the box back up, and examine it again to see if there is anything left to do(OCC: Wait thats the damn hellraiser box isn't it?) GM: with very large smile says, "What's hellraiser?" needless to say that one ended badly for the runners, but it was funny as hell. |

The situation is this. A one player game, the evil bad guy has been out-smarting the PC for six games now. He has been ahead of him at every turn, he has killed associates, contacts, friends, whoever he needs to. The PC was originally hired to find a hostage and recover it and it's only on this, the sixth game, that he has even come to the point of seeing where the hostage was.
Finally, there's a car chase. It cost the PC several arms and innumerable legs but he has a chopper ready and has the chopper come in. He scores a rediculously lucky shot with a SMG and takes the bad guy's car out without blowing it up, and as he's landing the chopper by the side of a busy Miami highway he sees the bad guy drag the hostage out of the car and start running off. PC rolls very well on Athletics and catches him before he gets too far. Bad guy holds a gun to hostage's head as PC approaches. PC: "There's nowhere to run. Let her go and I just hand you over to my employer, and not kill you" GM: He pulls a second gun! Roll initiative. [Looks at results], he wins. It's a Walther PC: Ha! Light pistol. He can't do anything with that. GM: Eleven successes. EX ammo, shot to the head. PC: Sh*t. I roll body (rolls), karma (rolls), karma again (rolls) and again (rolls), I buy two successes, right, thank god, only a serious. Now he's f*cked. GM: Second shot (rolls) |

Cheesey GM trickery last elevator I was in was a tiny little thing with a max capacity of over 1400 kg and that was 5 feet wide 6 feet deep. Big ones will have high max cap. |

I've been in cargo elevators that could move vans full of goods, no 1360 KG is nothing for most freight lifts.

More to the point, any elevator made after about 1960 (probably earlier) that was overloaded (according to the published tolerances, note, not the actual max capacity) would sound a local alarm (as in a buzzer inside the elevator itself) and refuse to move until the load was decreased.
