My Life With Master: Dr. Popescu's masseuse, weeping, murders his prostitute sister by tearing apart the pipe organ into which she has been surgically embedded.

Oh wait! That's not entertaining at all, that's fucking grim.

The Shadow of Yesterday: Duel of Stealth ... to the death!

Harry Potter: We fed the Roach to a Shoggoth.

Graham

Nobilis: The anthropomorphic personifications of Hats, Candy, and Mise en Abyme fight a pitched battle against CTHULHU at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, while at the exact same time in another scene, the powers of Cheating and Dirt have a peaceful discussion on the nature of morality.

Homebrew: Wizard/detective chooses between finding the bad guy with a spell, or taking a call from his estranged daughter.

The Mountain Witch: hard core badass samurai gets distracted by a puppet theatre in the square of a town of ghosts, and finds himself after the show transformed into a marionette with ghostly strings that stretch away up the mountain...

GURPS: My assassin, Diamond, with a garrote around the neck of a sorceror yelling, "CUT OFF HIS HANDS!!! CUT OFF HIS HANDS!!!!"

Posted By: AndyThe heroes manage to run a shipment of weapons and supplies to Moses in their cadilac-speeder. They approach the wise smiling old man with the beard and the staff to deliver the goods, "Moses! Here are...". The wise man shakes his head, points to the cliff edge, where they follow his gaze, and see a bald, scarred man in Warhammer 40K-style battle armor blowing up Egyptian cruiser tanks with a gatling, then leaping up to tear the wings off a passing fighter plane. This real Moses turns to the PCs mid-fall and gives them an unmistakably American "Good Job!" thumbs up right before he lands on a tank, punching through it.

Sweet Raptor Jesus, that's the best Moses EVAR.

Nine Worlds: Romulus sits on the yacht's railing miles above the rock Demos. He holds a hand out to the shipwright and says "Coming?" They jump.

A playtest game: The long-suffering lover of a mortal who transcended to a god-like status completely misinterprets the goddess' offer of ending his pain as "ascending to godhood to be at her side" instead of "she will kill him quickly to release him from his suffering". Despite the offer the player completely misinterpreted, he turned her down. So he's still alive.

Mortal Coil / Star Wars

Having fought their way to the top of the docking tower, the two Jedi open the airlock to the enemy ship. They're attacked by spear-tossing octopoids who swing round the girders like multi-limbed gibbons! And then an explosion rips open the ship's hull! And the ship is full of water! So now they're fighting under a torrential waterfall!

D&D: fighter full-attacks the corpse of the mook she just killed last round, because he annoyed her that much.

Truth & Justice: The Judge & Eye Robot were on hold in the Superhero Emergency Hotline queue while an evil robot mastermind was plotting to take over the city's nuclear power plant. That sparked quite a bit of comedy.

Reign: The rebel general is assassinated by stabbing him in the face

From last week's Star Wars game:

A character is chained to a table in an interrogation room. I describe a woman in a stark grey Imperial uniform entering. Then I say in my bounciest, friendliest voice, "Hi! I'm here to interrogate you! Now let's just get one thing clear from the start. I'm not going to torture you. I'm not one of those COMPNOR goons who wants a false confession." The look that the player gave me was absolutely priceless: trapped and freaked out and laughing. I will treasure it forever.

Big Eyes Small Mouth:

A massive, inarticulate man-mountain thundering along the corridors of a near-future High School/Alien Defense Compound like a hulked-out Paul Revere bellowing "Turd Aliens! TUUURD AALIEEENS!"

D&D 3.5:

(Picture in slow motion for best results) A great evil spirit bird screeches over the town, impervious to the arrows of the Guard. A hapless ranger, fleeing the bird, dashes past the half-elf rogue, who stands his ground, sending a crossbow bolt tied to a vial of holy water--which he procured from a nearby church with some outlandish story about an ailing mother, because damned if just truthfully blurting "there's a demon bird attacking the city!" even occurred to him--flying home between the thing's eyes.

Shock:

In an aristocratic virtual society that spurns the physical entirely, an influential personality grows weary with the superficiality of the illusion, and arrives at a gala event with a new avatar: an exact reproduction of his dessicated, naked physical body. Shock registers across the assembly--but when the aministrators eject him from the system, everyone returns to their affairs, his "statement" ignored, forgotten--just another fad that didn't take.

Peace,

Early version of Danger Patrol:

The heros are in the back of an aircar, trying to stop the giant berzerk repair droids from tearing down the monorail station and killing the train load of kids.

Chris: My robot daredevil leaps out of the aircar onto the back of the robot!
Me: Yeah! My robot detective does that too!
Chris: I climb up his back with my magnetic hands and feet.
Me: You have magnetic hands and feet? YEEEEAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH!

The orcs maimed the hungry spider goddess and made the Eight-legged Isles a vassal state of their up and coming empire.

Next game we'll do a trait vote and progress the game ten years.

I can't wait.

Posted By: Thomas DThey lived? Screw jumping forward ten years -- clearly, God has to hire a hitman to take out these two bastards. They're gunning for his job!

They lived, they blew through a metric ton of artha and got lucky with a Call-On trait that saved one of the PC's during a vicious Steel test.

She was a self-proclaimed goddess, more than a goddess proper.

Last night's FATE game:

A villainous bosun, assisted by the inflatable "gas bag" under his arm, leaps into the rigging of the Khethan sky barque to attack the fire priest PC balanced on mainsail's yardarm. The fire priest throws a rope trailing from the crow's nest about the villain, and punctures the "gas bag" with a blast of fire. The bosun blasts, tether ball-like, looping around and around the main mast, leaving him pinned to it and looking rather sheepish.

From D&D:
"Your last name is Von Stereotype?"
{nod} "We changed it. Used to be Orcface."


From the first game of Sufficiently Advanced that I actually got to play in:
Deciding the current actions weren't getting results fast enough (or perhaps at all), I take a Complication: "Befriended by the enemy." Some time later, this exchange takes place...
Player A: "Get rid of it! Stop talking to it!"
Me: "I can't, yet. It's still my friend."
Later on it did something unfriendly, so I got to ditch the crazy AI in the bathroom, but that's a separate story.

AD&D:

The players begin a months-long quest to acquire the items of a very long and confusing and abstract list, given to them by a powerful Archwizard.

After many adventures, a near death experience while getting ambushed while trying to ambush a black dragon in his own lair, several frustrating travels across the continent and a couple of big black markets, the PCs arrive to the Wizard's tower.

The wizard happily receives them, and with the ingredients he prepares an exotic and spicy drink for himself.

Player: "Wait... Weren't we supposed to be bringing the ingredients for you to help us?"
Wizard: "Nope."
Player: "But you said you'll help us! You said you needed those items to craft that [epic power magical item] for us!"
Wizard: "Actually no, I didn't."
Player: ".....Dammit!"

ab.ovo.in.æternum (homebrew, occult contemporary, rather trad) — Players, curious, get themselves hired by a rich / powerful party as middlemen to acquire a very mysterious object in a mysterious auction sale to be held by a mysterious party. Players, curious, spent one whole session to steal an item they know nothing about but that somebody they know nothing about just stole. Oddly, the auction sale is delayed… The players are burglarized and burglarized again, then attacked repeatedly; they go on the run to try to escape their mysterious opponent. They protect and keep the stolen item. The auction keeps getting postponed. This last at least for 15 action and mystery-packed sessions. Of course what they stole was what they were hired to buy. No need to say the main plot was greatly delayed, but great fun was had by everyone.
