Catch Phrase/Tabletop Games

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Catch Phrases in Tabletop Games include:

  • The dashing swordsman prestige class from Dungeons & Dragons has the power of catchphrase.
  • Many factions of Warhammer 40,000 have their own:
    • Imperium of Man: For the Emperor!/The Emperor Protects!
      • Let's not forget that every Space Marine Legion has its own Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner, but the Dark Angels' "Repent! For tomorrow you die!" seems pretty popular (But an amusing point made by a forum poster once has a Chaos Space Marine note that for them to follow their battlecry, they would have to come back to attack them tomorrow. Naturally, if they kept saying it, they'd never get a chance to attack. The Dark Angels were reasonably upset that their centuries-old battlecry just got ruined).
        • Well, the point of that battlecry in the first place was that they would capture the Chaos worshippers alive and torture them to death...
    • Chaos: Death to the false Emperor!/For the Dark Gods!
      • Khorne: Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Throne of Khorne! (or Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!)
      • Kharn The Betrayer: KILL MAIM BURN! KILL MAIM BURN!
    • Orks: WAAAAAAGH!
    • Tau: For the Greater Good!
