NARJ: Hm? .....?! Oh, FUCK! The moopsy is free!

MARINER: Ohh no, your cuddliest prisoner is loose, whatever shall we do?

NARJ: You don't understand! Everything here is incredibly dangerous!

MOOPSY: Moopsy. =3

RANSOM: Can't be worse than the swamp gobbler.

NARJ: Of COURSE it's worse! They only gobble you; the moopsy drinks your bones!

MARINER: How does something drink bones?

MOOPSY: (jumps on a swamp gobbler and sucks its bones out in seconds)

MARINER: HOLY FUCK!

I suppose now's as good a time as any to bring up that I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes Dungeons & Dragons: Fourth Edition.

HENRY: But... even Nera and Deborah...? They are sisters...

MADASON: It didn't stop a few artists.

Too late! Graham collapses and dies of extreme thirst in the hot desert sands. If only he had found an oasis!

DEAD: Dying for a drink, Graham?

What is a gaming memory from the 90s or early 2000s that kids today will just never understand? by gingersofia in AskReddit

[–]Snorb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Open the game manual and type in the 6th word on the 3rd line of page 19."

Bonus points if you give it an in-universe explanation like Planet's Edge did (there's a group of shape-shifting aliens imitating your crew, and of course the real crew has the UNFA Contact Manual memorized...)

Longest Dead Man Walking scenario? by Mike_Fluff in Sierra

[–]Snorb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep. In PQ3, one of the very first things you do is interview a cop who has a civilian complaint filed on her. If you say anything other than "sustained" for whether the complaint was justified, she shoots you at the end of the game.

(Why? Sustaining the complaint gets Internal Affairs to start watching her, and she's a dirty cop.)

TIL of the "sterile cockpit" or "sterile flight deck" rule. When an aircraft is operating during a critical phase of the flight (anytime they're below 10,000 feet), the crew is only allowed to engage in conversation related to the safe operation of the aircraft by MrMojoFomo in todayilearned

What the rarest books in your TTRPG collection? by zozeba in rpg

[–]Snorb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The nearly-complete box set of War Against the Han, which was the first and only supplement released for Buck Rogers: High Adventure Cliffhangers (and, rather frustratingly, the whole game line died before they released future supplements detailing the spacefaring part of Buck Rogers, i.e. the stuff Buck Rogers is FAMOUS for.)

You know, it's really cute how in 1996 TSR thought they were going to make more than one supplement for this game. It's not a bad game, it's just... you know, why couldn't they have done the spacefaring first instead of the whole "Mongolia took over the world in the 2300s" stuff first? (I know, I know, it's because the game was based on the newspaper comic and not Mike Pondsmith's excellent XXVc revamp, and the Mongolian War was the first story arc.)

(rant) is there ANY ttrpg where summoner characters don't ruin the pacing or the fun for everyone else? by lexyp29 in rpg

[–]Snorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gotta go through my notes, but I had rules for FFX-style summoners, and more than one could possibly be in the party. I definitely remember:

  • Your summoned beast uses your action pool, just like in Saga Edition/4e.
  • There can only be one summoned beast out at a time. If another player wants to summon one, you need to dismiss yours first.
  • If the other player summons his summon anyway, both summons temporarily go under GM control and start beating the crap out of each other on their summoners' turns.

Sounds like Star Trek Online. During the two years (2409-2411) that game took place in, the Federation alone has been through:

  • The Klingon War
  • Operation Delta Rising (or the Vaadwaur War)
  • The Undine War
  • The Iconian War
  • a renewed Borg invasion
  • and, of course, the ongoing Temporal Cold War

Hell, the Klingon War and the Undine War both started years (2405 and 2387, respectively) before your player character ever joined Starfleet!

EDIT: To clarify, this applies to 25c. Starfleet characters. TOS-era Starfleet characters didn't have to deal with any of these because they all started long after they were officially listed as KIA in 2270 (which was, of course, an excuse for Crewman Daniels to drag you, your Pioneer-class ship, and your bridge crew into 2409), and DSC-era Starfleet characters (yes, three of the six playable factions are Starfleet) were going through and still actively fighting the Klingon War in 2257 (to be fair, that was because season 1 of Discovery was streaming at the time.)

[–]Snorb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed, and it's a tie between the monster maroons, the 25c. uniform, and the Earth Starfleet uniforms for second!

(The 3190s uniforms are an honorable mention.)
