Mooks/Quotes

"These guys are your basic stupid, fearful, reflexively-violent mooks. If you're giving them any more personality than that, you're thinking too hard. They're just breathing sacks of cement with guns, itching to be thrown through windows, crushed under collapsing ceilings, and otherwise dispatched like the bottom-feeding no-name scum they are."

- GM notes on the Poison Thorns, the mooks from the Feng Shui intro adventure "Baptism of Fire."

"Dude... it's a tall guy dressed in black, with a weird, glowy weapon thing, and we're a couple of guards in matching, shiny armor... we're so fucking DEAD!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today via YouTube to solemnly remember our great friend, Soldier A.

- Neo Mikey's description for "Soldier A" Video.

"Without his Storm Troopers(or his Clones) the Emperor of the Star Wars universe would have been nothing more then a personal menace with a great need for a plastic surgeon and a better fashion consultant. And where would Sauron have been without his Orcs. The power of most Masterminds lies with their minions-the faceless hordes who exist to do(literally) only the Mastermind's bidding and work their evil upon the game world."
