Fake healer as Riese:

"Dammit, I go about hiring a lawyer and filing the proper papers to bestow ownership of this house to our group, at no small expense of time and money which I of course didn't ever complain about, putting down every one of your individual names on the document and a group name to simplify the documentation and this is the thanks I get?!? You want to name the group after the 'goblin' warrior, or the one with larcenous tendencies, or maybe the backwoods yokel would be better 'chere', or the town drunkard?" looks aghast as the thought.
"My family have had legitimate business in this town for decades and that gives me an established reputation in the legal and mercantile arenas that none of you possess. I offer up my good and unsullied name to add legitimacy to our group and cause and this is the way I am addressed!" looks like a hissy is ready to happen, but Riese seems to change his mind and turns to stalk back to the house, muttering under his breath. When he reaches the porch he turns to address the group again, "I will be inside working, as usual, on fixing up our house. If you are finished pulling fleas from your a$$-cracks, chatting up fish-women, and generally mangling the common tongue, perhaps you would like to actually help out! Dammit!! I hate getting all emotional...." He focuses on a spot a good 30 feet to the side of the group and drops a blast of flame in the 5' radius area charring the grass and leaving mostly bare earth, then he turns around and stomps into the house yelling back, "I'm gonna build a small stone patio on that spot with a birdbath! I like birds!!" He then slams the door.


Male Human - dash of elf Miniature painter/ Heroic

Rev Rosey in Dahn's Eberron game - impossible to provide a quote as she plays a character with multiple personalities, each of whom is a separate messageboard alias...

Scarab Sages

Male Bullish

Does Stigwold count as the 'Foreign Language' entry?

Shadow Lodge

Male. Mostly. Elf Wizard3/Master Enchanter7

A second vote for Rev's character, Irirangi Biasharan. The group has the unique quality of being able to communicate telepathically with each other. Iri has the unique quality of hearing voices, anyway. Now that they're all hooked up, all the other characters hear her voices as well!

Perhaps Best actor, and Best supporting actor, then.

Shadow Lodge

Male. Mostly. Elf Wizard3/Master Enchanter7

A month then....Does that mean Rosey wins?

Well don't we still do things old fashioned-like, and have a Best Actor and Best Actress? Everyone's a winner.


And what about TGPCing/NPCing?

Shadow Lodge

Male Human (Sometimes) Gamer/Writer/Husband

I'd vote for Slidell Stormraven (JSL's Rise of the Runelords Campaign), as he has to be one of the funniest mages I've ever seen in a game. If the character was older, I could imagine him being played by Christopher Lloyd, just to give you an idea of what he's like...

Best Post-Victory Angst: Aubrey's RotRL Campaign group.

I know. It was like thirtysomething and the big chill all over again.

Best Ode to the Tune of a Heavy Metal Song: Keildrithe Oldsun, as played by Twiceborn from my Age of Darkness game.

Grand Lodge

Male Human Expert 5

It was better than Illes' ode to Dravite in Aubrey's RotL game?

Wow.

Hmmm.

Now you mention it, they both deserve to be nominated. Hard to pick a winner there.

My vote has to go to Kirrish (James Keegan) from Mike Beeler's Dark Sun campaign. Never seen a Thri-kreen played so convincingly. You'd think James was actually a giant bug.

...

Wait a minute...

Best character chemistry: Shenker and Radik.

In that she's my friend? Perhaps.

But I genuinely think she is a really good DM.


Rev's characters are a hoot, too.

I was just joking, didn't mean anything by it.

Any particular game I should look at, (I think she DMs a few here?) or are they all pretty good?

[Thread derailment]

I only run two. Both 4e, which I like a lot and is straightforward for me to DM.

Scepter Tower has wonderful players, but I'm finding the adventure itself frustrating - a tower is very non-optimal for a pbp. I should have realised this earlier and re-jigged it, but they're nearly at the end and I'm hoping to do better by them in the next outing.

Little Learning is part 3 of something that started off as a one-shot and is evolving into a campaign. The group have been together a while now. They started at level 1 and are now heading fairly quickly to level 6.

My preference is to run one-offs and if players want to carry on, either with a character they like or another one entirely, we go from there.

[/end thread derailment]

Back on topic, I'd nominate Taliesin Hoyle for Evening of an Empire. A game so tense in places I hyperventilated.

Alas...

Was it ever decided on myself or someone else taking over the DM job?
