Most memorable lines.

[Tyndmyr]

Box text...we all know it, we all sometimes hate it, but sometimes, there is a description that just succinctly tells us something awesome. Post the best brief sentence or two of flavor text you've ever heard here.

"He sees the future from one eye, the past in the other, and has only seen himself once, reflected in a single falling tear".

[Socratov]

actually here then half of all of the flavotext on the bottom of a magic the gathering card... some of them have really great, cool and thouughtful texts.

[ORione]

I don't think this counts as flavor text, but...

"Wish. As limited wish, but with fewer limits."

"Its diet consists of fruit, nuts, small woodland animals, large woodland animals, woodlands, fruit groves, fruit farmers, and small cities."

Which monster was that one?

[MeatShield#236]

Giant Baloth, I believe.

And my own contribution, from Knights of the Old Republic:

"Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all of these things..., and yet you are nothing. In the end, you belong to neither the light nor the darkness. You will forever stand alone."
— Darth Malak

[Kymme]

My favorite, which is actually one of my own quotes:
"Darkling sons of whores, prepare to meet your maker!"
Oddly, everyone started laughing uncontrolably when i said it. Peculiar.

[Mike_the_Mystic]

Which monster was that one?

That would be the Enormous Baloth. I'd say it's an accurate description of that whole group of creature's diet.

[Tyndmyr]

Giant Baloth, I believe.

Yeah, it's the Baloth...I happen to have it memorized as I always loved that quote. Saw good use in my tooth and nail deck back in the day.

[Timeless]

Pretty much all of MTG's flavor text. Jaya Ballard is sheer walking awesome of course but i'm also fond of Akroma's text "No Rest, No Mercy, No Matter What.".

[Kyberwulf]

LOL another one




"The dead make good soldiers. They can't disobey orders, never surrender, and don't stop fighting when a random body part falls off."

Any idea that doesn't work."

-when in a room full of orphans the party does not know are actually tiny demons in disguise-

Fighter: "Great cleave?"
Barbarian: "Great Cleave!"


How was I supposed to tell them they were right!?

[Kyberwulf]

I don't know if these count lol... but

Jayne: You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with 'til ya understand who's in ruttin' command here.


Jayne Cobb: Shiny. Let's be bad guys.

Experiment 626 "Meega Nala Queesta"

[kieza]

I can't find the records of it, but I once had a villain who spoke entirely in iambic pentameter (I was studying Shakespeare at the time...). I started off with scripted speeches delivered via magic mouth, which got my players joking about how they were going to make the villain say "antidisestablishmentarianism" in rhyme, but at the end when they actually faced and spoke with him, I managed to stick to the meter while ad-libbing his lines. Possibly my CMoA of DM'ing.

I also had another, the exact details of which I forget, from a goblin shaman who had been deposed by an Eldritch Abomination-summoning sorcerer. He'd been locked up in a pitch-black cave for months and used as a blood source for the sorcerer's rituals, and he was completely, irrevocably insane. His insane mutterings, and the voice in which I delivered them, caused one of the players to turn on all the lights in the house.
