Potent Quotables, Your best Shadowrun Quotes Options

[Dr.Rockso]

So yeah, either ingame or ooc post your most memorable Shadowrun related quotes and anecdotes!

To start things off:

*While in a car chase*
GM(to player 1): "Wait, you're really going to shoot an HE grenade at the civilian cars? On the highway? In broad daylight?"

*rest of the group berates player 1*

Player 1: "Whoa guys! I never said it was an HE grenade. It's totally a gas grenade!"

Player 2: "Yes you did. And I quote: 'I shoot an HE grenade at the civilian cars following us! Ha ha ha, collateral damage!' And what exactly is a gas grenade going to do to a car anyway?"

Player 1: "...shut up"

[Squinky]

Someone said this way back in the day, and we all had a chuckle. Since then it has become a weird joke.

The phrase "I yank my predator" always makes us giggle.

[Draco18s]

The phrase "I yank my predator" always makes us giggle.

Isn't it "praetor" anyway?

[Dr.Rockso]

Think he means the Ares Predator heavy pistol as opposed to the Praetor smg.

[Crank]

It was an SR2 game and the group had a street sam that took the 1million at creation and put most of it into a cyber arm with strength. His cyber arm he had like 13 or 14 strength. Anyway, the team was playing bodyguard to some corp lady. The corp lady had no combat experience but as a precaution the team had given her an Ares Predator and shown her how to use it.

Later on the corp lady started getting mouthy with the street sam. (The GM was one of those types, where every person you ever meet had the same personality, arrogant and mouthy.) The street sam wasn't having any of it and called her a few unkind names. So the NPC drew down on him.

Player 1: Go on you stupid slitch. Do it.

GM: She thinks about it and then puts the gun away saying (snidely) "It'd just be a waste of a bullet."

Player 1: Muscles (the street sam) goes over and punches a hole in the brick wall, crumples up some of the debris with his fist and then chews on it. He turns to the corp lady and after he spits out blood, brick and teeth he says "You're god damn right it be a waste of a bullet."

We were all laughing in part because of the description, but also because the GM was fuming. (He took every insult to an NPC personally. Yeah, one of those. )

[Kovu Muphasa]

Street Sam: I chop off the car door off with my dikote katana
GM: Okay... Why are you doing that?
Street Sam: Well its a bullet proof limo right? It will make a great shield, plus its got a comfy leather interior and if I get hot I can roll the window down.

[MikeKozar]

Dyson: Right, so which gang are we going after? Halloweeners? Hellhounds?

Cheshyr: He says it's the Yakuza.

Dyson: (spit-take)

Cheshyr: ...

Dyson: Hang, on, hang on... "Gomen nasai...uh...ore-wa...shi-ne...ja nai? Ku-da-sai?" Is that right?

Cheshyr: eh, you got most of the major nouns in there.

Patch: Wait, what did he say?

Kresselack: "I'm very sorry. Don't kill me. Please."

. . .

Nicolai: Vhat da hell is dat?

(Subject is a shattered husk of broken meat crammed into a trash can)

Dyson: *Technically*, alive.

. . .

Rotordrone Blue: //Ammo conservation subroutine activated. I am authorized to accept your surrender now, bleeding human.//

. . .

(Party is ambushing the Yakuza in a bathhouse)

Rotordrone Gold: //Unable to attack target due to targeting protocol 6/G: "Naked Ladies are not to be shot at".//

. . .

(Same raid; underdressed Yakuza girl has spent 3 IPs beating furiously but ineffectively on Rotordrone Gold's Armor)

Rotordrone Gold: //Please stop. Your actions are only embarrassing us both.//

. . .

Fixer: The guard dutifully inspects Austin's lunchbox - a container of plain red bean paste, a thermos, a salt shaker, three packets of ketchup, two packets of mustard, and a sickly looking apple.

Cheshyr: Jesus, how many explosives did he bring?

MCT Guard Drone: //Valued (Employee/Guest) - Based on the contents of your Bento, you are (Single/About to become Single). Would you be interested in the personal profiles of eligible singles employed on this floor?//

In a group I was GMing

Shaman: Ok I take my handgranade and duck tape it to the door.
Face: Wait, what are you doing?
Shaman: Getting us inside.
Face: Uncontrolled explosions make me nervous.

[Trevalier]

Recently...

Hari: Okay, we don't want too much attention on Joe while he checks the place out.
Joe: It's a room full of geeks. If Sister walks in there in a sailor suit, no one's gonna be looking at me.
Sister: I don't have a sailor outfit...but I've got a spell that can fake one.

(I think my Physical Mask spell now comes with an optional sparkly-lights and silhouettes transformation sequence.)

Earlier, same group...

Hari: I'm taking his pants. Put some lipstick on him, and maybe a little splash of booze.
Sister: Why do the men on this team keep stripping every guy we knock out?

[Draco18s]

Hari: I'm taking his pants. Put some lipstick on him, and maybe a little splash of booze.
Sister: Why do the men on this team keep stripping every guy we knock out?

Because all men are secretly gay.

[pbangarth]

Because all men are secretly gay.

Sometimes, I'm openly joyous.

[MikeKozar]

Sometimes, I'm openly joyous.

One time, I was briefly jubilant. I think everyone experiments with optimism once in college, though.

[Kovu Muphasa]

Kovu [Street Name: Leo] is currently traveling with this Albino almost feral elf called Hallow. We used the story “Fresh Meat” as the basis of the team we are currently running though Ghost Cartels.

Leo: “Ok What do you do?”
Elstar [Elf Speed Street Sam]: “Snick”, Oh and I use these {Holding up 2 Colt Man Hunters}
Nan [Troll Shaman]: I cast Spells and Summon Elemental and I can use this. {Pulling out a 16” Knife}
Zero [Orc Hacker]: I am a hacker and I have this. {Up comes the Dalmatian with a Pain Inducer}
Hallow: I’m a Terrorist
Leo: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif) ( to himself: This team is either going to get me killed or rich)

the players had the feeling the gm was randomly changing the npcs stats. the gm in question still hasnt lived it down.

to explain in better detail. a team member was fighting a group of guys that effectively kept changing equipment and stats.

[Kovu Muphasa]

Here is one from our last game

{Hollow enters and puts a crate with UCAS markings on in the the bed of Leo's truck

Leo: "Whats that?"
Hollow: "Its an enginier's demo kit."
Leo: "Why?"
Hollow: "Just in case."
Leo: : "In case?"
Hollow: " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) "
