This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Real world quotes you MUST use in a game setting...

My homepage is MSNBC.com and today when I logged on I was greeted by this article:

"Sunny, with a chance of rocket propelled grenades".

Somehow, I am going to work that into a game setting. Possibly as the title of a scenario, or just as a comment by a NPC.
Go an\' tell me I\'m ignored.
Kick my sad ass off the board,
I don\'t care, I\'m still free.
You can\'t take the net from me.

-The ballad of browncoatone, after his banning by the communist dictators of rpg.net for refusing to obey their arbitrary decrees.

Tahmoh

Sounds like the name of a Paranoia troubleshooter mission to me.

One Horse Town

Film quotes are more apt.

"You're Lord of Jack and shit and Jack just left town."

Evil Dead III (or Medieval Dead, if you prefer).

" I want no blood upon my land to stain the grass. I want it all clear and pure,and I wish it so,that all who go through among my people may find it peaceful when they come,and leave peacefully when they go."

"Like a man who has been dying for many days,a man in your city is numb to the stench."
Chief Seattle
Suqwamish/Duwamish

"Civilization has been thrust upon me and it has not added one whit to my love for truth,honesty and generosity"
Luther Standing Bear

Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Cheating, but anything from here:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114194/quotes

In particular, this one:

Thomas Daggett: Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?

I love that movie.

Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
Conan the Barbarian

Fifteen million dollars is not money. It's a motive with a universal adaptor on it.
The Way of the Gun

Frank White: When the D.A's office investigated the sudden death of Arty Clay, they found that he left a $13 million estate. How do you explain that? There there's Larry Wong, who owned half of Chinatown when he passed away. Larry used to rent his tenements to Asian refuges, his own people, for $800 a month to share a single toilet on the same floor. How 'bout King Tito? He had thirteen-year-old girls hooking for him on the street. Those guys are dead because I don't want to make money that way. Emil Zappa, the Mata brothers, they're dead because they were running this city into the ground.
Roy Bishop: You expected to get away with killing all these people?
Frank White: I spent half my life in prison. I never got away with anything, and I never killed anybody that didn't deserve it.
Roy Bishop: Who made you judge and jury?
Frank White: Well, it's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
King of New York

Bryant: They jumped a shuttle off-world, killed the crew and passengers. We found the shuttle drifting off the coast two weeks ago, so we know they're around.
Deckard: Embarrassing.
Bryant: No sir. Not embarrassing, because no one's ever going to find out they're down here. 'Cause you're gonna spot 'em and you're gonna air 'em out!
Deckard: I don't work here anymore. Give it to Holden. He's good.
Bryant: I did. He can breathe okay, as long as nobody unplugs him.
Blade Runner

Hunters for gold or pursuers of fame, they all had gone out on that stream, bearing the sword, and often the torch, messengers of the might within the land, bearers of a spark from the sacred fire. What greatness had not floated on the ebb of that river into the mystery of an unknown earth! . . . The dreams of men, the seed of commonwealths, the germs of empires.
Heart of Darkness
Vive la mort, vive la guerre, vive le sacré mercenaire

Spazmodeus

I have a scenario in my D&D campaign that leads up to a paraphrased movie quote.  The group gains a demigod as a patron and eventually it becomes common knowledge in the land.  The leader of a powerful thieves' guild contacts the group and offers them great treasures to set up a meeting with the demigod.  When they inevitably ask why he wants to meet the patron, he says: "I'm gonna make him an offering he can't refuse."

I can't find out the name of the guy but I heard it in an Interview with a French field commander in the 1st Gulf war in relation to the American focus on bombing and airstrikes and unwillingness to go in on foot and finish the job.
