Game quotes are a key part of the Ambercon experience. Thusly, my jotted notes from the weekend. They’re all funny from my perspective, and probably from the perspective of those who were in the games. Maybe not so much for others. Also my note-taking is terrible and unreliable.
Le Cygne: The Lost Swan of Amber

i dont think so. how about a review of F 9/11?
Coming right up!
Those were hilarious 🙂 Was that all from one session?
Here are some of our better ones (through the years):
GM: “You are entering the mountainous lowlands.”
All: “Eh?”
(In one early campaign, the duke had a rather … loose … daughter.)
GM: “You hear rustling nearby in the bushes…”
Player1: “Is it an intelligent rustling?”
Player2: “Is it the duke’s daughter?”
GM: “There’s a lever on the North wall.”
Tork: “Tork pull lever.”
GM: “The lever appears to be connected to …”
Tork (interrupting): “TORK PULL!”
GM: Sigh. Tork is pinned to the wall by the spike trap.
Tork: “Cleric, help Tork!”
NPC: “That is our city, next to the river.”
Smartass Player: “What’s the river’s name?”
Smartass GM: “We call it ‘The River’.”
(When offered a pen to replace his constantly breaking pencil)
Mark: “No thanks, I like the feeling of wood in my hand.”
(This effectively terminated the session for about three minutes.)
(In a Gamma World campaign where we were inexplicably all playing a hillbilly family)
Junior: “Uncle Pa … I don’t think they LIKES us!”
Pa: “Just keep reloading, Junior.”
