Fun RC game stories

I remember one where we were in an office foyer. The space in front of the reception desk was full of normal zombies plus one that was faster and sturdier than normal (an abomination?). While the cyborg was sparring with another abomination behind the reception desk and the commando was creeping around the back of the building and warning the others about all the additional zombies headed up the hallway toward them, the bouncer was in the foyer trying to screen the jedi from the horde.

After another dozen zombies had poured out of the interior hallway, the cyborg got sick of it and put down all the mundane zombies in the foyer with a blast from his built-in laser cannon. The two abominations (and the friendlies) survived, but the jedi used a team attack to force-push the abominations into the external wall. The one in the foyer went normally, but the one behind the reception desk was blocked by the desk. When the jedi rolled damage, though, his 2d8 exploded into 5d8 – which was on top of the previous damage thanks to the team attack – and so in a “there is no try” moment the receptionist zombie’s torso was sheared off over the desk and flung into the wall to join its compatriot!

That was pretty funny.

1. Large mob of zombies in melee with everyone;
2. freeze ray with SE: Crippled;
3. 4. Listens to scream of Crippled team-mates

Did the player do that on purpose or was that a funny-in-hindsight oversight?

I was the player!

High attack roll (giving Crippled), but flubbed the damage (only 12 Stamina inflicted, needed 14 to cause Massive Damage).

Haha. Yeah, that’s rough. The crippling freeze ray sounds like it would be great for getting away from hordes of zombies – and for destroying them outright with enough damage. When they’re already entangled with friendlies, though, heh. It’s too bad the damage wasn’t high enough to just splash all the zombies outright.

How did the other players take it?
