So now. tell us the best PC/DM/GAME.

YOurs and others. So many bad experiences, would love to hear some good ones.
if you can
Fav (other persons.) PC/DM/Game
Fav (Your own).

1.Pc-honestly the best PC i ever played with, and i say this because i played to long champaigns with him. The first he was dead serious hard core straight edged PC, cannot even remember his class. the reason i liked him was his second character was a barbarian, great history, great back story, but he was able to do conan/arnold voice so perfect we nearly wet ourselves laughing. the fact he could be serious, and have fun, it was amazing. made me laugh so damn hard.

2.Best Dm. my current Dm, i am not always a fan of his PC's but he is a damn good dm, brings to life characters, and has really made an effort to engage and use back stories of characters. brilliant.

3.Game. war hammer fantasy roleplay. 2nd or third mod, cannot remember, ethier way. A love interest of my PC ended up being a chaos cultist, that bit me in the ass hard. Best part was the deamon that we were supposed to kill was slaughtering its own followers. i thought, screw it let him kill them all.
OOPs that jsut let him morph into a more powerful version. LOL.
same dm as 2. lucky me to have such a great story teller.

favorite PC of mine?

thats a tough one. Probably my current fighter Nos. not such an elaborate back story, but i liked him none the less. Cheliaxian ex noble, in korvosa, torn between duty and hatred of thrune. Follower of Aroden. Fav moment. When he broke down at the left over church of Aroden in Korvosa.

Favorite DMPC of my own: 'Locutis' - one of the bowl-headed guys from Cloud City. He was kind of a minor character living in the PC's base of operations, and he would see to their needs, give out adventure hooks, etc. He was also the only one in the docking bay when the bad guy stunned everyone and ran for the nearest ship. His combat stats were horrible. The players were devastated. As though they lost a friend. That was epic.

Favorite PC of my own: A (totally cheesed-out) RIFTS cyberdoc with supers from Heroes Unlimited (ala TMNT devolved humans) and Aikido from Ninjas and Superspies. He had all the sonic powers and I called him Doctor Mach. He would simply flip everyone who tried to fight him into submission. Hilarious. A friend of mine killed him off with a trap involving a bomb and the Predator-based character who was too slow to escape the blast. Doc absolutely HAD to go back to try and save him...

Best DM: This guy name Colin would run the most creative, narrative games I've ever seen. He was also really consistent. One of the other players had narrowly escaped the elves when he decided to make them laugh with a funny dance. Colin not only made him actually act the dance out physically, but made him do it EVERY TIME we ran into that particular tribe. He also ran an amazing on-the-spot game involving some ethereal wolves, a gem, and a noble family. He hadn't even brought his dice that day.

Favorite Game: D6 system, heavily modified, in a fantasy setting. Superlative stuff, that. Be anything you want, and we'll make it stat out and balance. D&D is a close runner up. Star Wars after that.

ahh rifts....my generic run of the mill dead boy in coalition dead boy armor.
sent to mexico in a power suit to fight vampires. dropped some nukes, was excuted for wasting coalition supplies.

d6 system? are we talking steve jackson?

1.Pathfinder, love it.
2.Dark sword adventures, heavily moded.
3.WFRP (its broken, the class systems made no sense, but a hell of a time to be honest.

[Amuny]

Favorite PC: Actually someone I don't play with anymore since he left the town for studying. He was always playing some little thief, but always played them damn well. He was not OPing everything, but was always at the right spot at the right moment. He had an amazing talent to get something of his hat and makes the DM stunned in a jaw drop. He was finding EVERY traps, EVERY secret door, and often uses somes very funny ideas to get out of some situation.

I remember once in a campaign the DM gave us the choice of two boats to travel to a lost island. It was evident that one of the boat would be troublesome, but couldn't fix on a choice. This specific PC just get his FORTUNE he had stolen from around everywhere since a while, and dealt to buy both of the boats. We were all bluffed out by that one!

Best DM: My father. He's a good actor, and when it's time to roleplay, he always gives the best, with voices and mimics. He's also a very good bluffer, so you it's really hard to guess when something's wrong or not. And he houserule the thing to make it even funnier, since Sense Motive/Bluff doesn't exist in his game (unless it is for Feint or something like this), and that we have to really deal with lies and truth.

Game: Pathfinder, Honestly. Brings everything to me. Though I also like Star Wars in D6 system a lot too.

PC of my game: There's one that is VERY, VERY expressive, and he's actually playing a Wild Mage with some tables we found on the web. It gives a lot of awesome and completely random situation, and his facial expressions always worth it. He's also a good person, always on time, focusing on the game, etc.

My Favorite PC: A Teifling Swashbuckler named Tyro Magnus of course. He had electric blue armor and a bright orange Three Musketeers hat. I played him as if he was Porthos from the Disney Three Muskiteers. He got the party into and out of so much trouble. I've never seen a DM laugh so hard at some of the stuff i attempted to pull.

Best DM: I joined a World of Darkness Werewolf game from an internet post years ago and the GM had a massive story all planned out. We were to form two packs. One in the present day and one 100 years in the past. He was really into it and it showed in his planning of the campaign. I still hold his game up as how a good game should be run.

[thenobledrake]

Favorite PC: My buddy was running this swashbuckler by the name of Vex. He was big on talking himself up as though he were not himself, telling stories of the great Pirate Lord Vex and never mentioning to anyone listening that he was the guy being talked about - and he never told true stories, no matter how great the things he actually did were.

The most memorable part of the character is that he never broke character, not once, for any of the sessions we played... which led to a very beautiful scene.

We stumbled upon a small camp of hobgoblins. They had been drinking and relaxing by the fire telling stories to each other and hadn't noticed our party. We thought they had information we needed, so some of us (my fighter, Vex, and the party's rogue) sneak over to capture and interrogate them.

We sneak up to the camp, leap out of the tall grass, and my fighter shouts "No one moves," to them in Goblin. Without missing a beat, as if finishing my sentence for me, my buddy says in-character "Amongst other things, this is a robbery." in his amazingly well done Captain Jack Sparrow-esque voice he used for the character.

It's one of the only times using a voice for a character didn't end up being un-good.

Favorite DM: The guy that was running the game the above character was in, as it was his interest and input into our characters that created such a fun character dynamic.

West End Games, actually. It originally debuted as the gears behind the Star Wars RPG. Second edition made it better. After they lost the license it went to hell, but there were the kernels of some very good ideas in the future products.

[Major_Tom]

Actually, West End had some very good games. Lots of creativity at that company, not much management experience.

Favorite character was from a West End Game - Torg. Old professor, dabbled in Weird Sience. She faced down a David Mark IV Hovertank, with her cane and her bushy eyebrows! Made an intimidate roll of a Natural 129 on a D20 (in Torg, you got to reroll and add 10s & 20s). But still, no matter how you do the math, that's a roll of 1 in a million (or 10 million?). She told them that they had been very bad, and they should go home and tell their mothers. So the tank operators got out of the tank and trudged off, knowing they were in big trouble with their moms.

The old professer then took over the tank and modified it to be a really big refigerator, with death laser attachements. Torg was lots of fun.

Best game system for pure balance, D&D at it's finest - 3.5 & Pathfinder, as close as they've come to perfection.

PC:
Don't really have a favorite Player I've played with. Each of the people I play with on a regular basis have some good things about them and some bad.
One of my friends can drop me to the floor with laughter, and he's decent at role-playing, but trying to get him to learn the rules is a pain and he can't run games with players that are clever.

Another one is a decent designer and is fun to talk game designing with; but he couldn't role-play his way out of a paper bag, he thinks he's smarter then most people, so a moderate intelligence character (10-11) is REALLY stupid according to him.

We all have issues when it comes to role-playing, I'm sure I have my issues. And I almost always play strikers, it's just how my brain works. Every time I try something else I get bored or they change into them. The characters themselves are different in personality, as least as much as I can make them.

System:

I love the gurps system in theory. Bell curves are THE AWESOME. But I still don't have running it down, so playing it is harder than other systems.

I play tons of D&D/Pathfinder, it's got a great easy running combat system, but the skill system leaves something to be desired.

And finally Shadowrun is a favorite because of the magic system and it's possibilities, I swear one of these days I'll rewrite that damned thing into a fantasy/steampunk setting/system... It'll be right after I rewrite FASERIP (another favorite) for simplicity and L5R into a Last Air Bender like setting.

[WarColonel]

My favorite game right now is the Kingmaker I run. The only thing I don't like is the fact I run it, I'd much rather play.

One of my PCs actually was upset when he killed Auchs, a low-level NPC in the first book. He liked the way I played him so much I was supprised he actually did it.

We are 1/3 of the way through the second book and their mantra has already become 'Cannibals Must DIE!' The first thing they ask monsters is what their dietary habits are.

Best PC: Long ago, an ex of mine played a female elven druid specializing in fire magic, but she was a raging alcoholic man-eating slut. It made absolutely no sense... and it was hilarious.

Best DM: My current one. He lets my party get away with a lot of shenanigans, but makes up for it with shenanigans of his own. (Thanks a lot, trap doors that K.O. 3 out of 5 characters and leave the other 2 barely conscious!)

Best experience: This is open to interpretation, but the best/worst game was when I was playing a b#~%#y druid with every corrosive, poisonous, and Con damage-dealing spell I could get my hands on. My party was stuck on a ship that left shore, which we didn't intend on happening. I poisoned the water supply and told the captain so he would have to turn the ship around to get a new supply, but somehow, while we were talking to the captain, the rest of the crew flashed forward to eating dinner. I accidentally poisoned and killed the entire crew, except the captain. At least we all got experience points for my mistake, even if it did make her take the fast track to becoming evil. =D

Best PC of mine: See best game. I loved that druid!

Best game: I have become very fond of Pathfinder as of recently, but I really loved (and miss) playing Deadlands. Zombie hordes + cowboys? Hellz yeah!

[Maxximilius]

1. Best PC in any group :
My barbarian pal, "Leo da Grol Le Sanguinaire" (Leo da Grol The Bloody). Nobody in the world ever played a 5 Int/5 Wis/ 13 Cha barbarian better than him - and he doesn't talk in the "THOG HIT THINGS" style. Inventing new words ("seigneurement" instead of "seigneurie"), using bad ones, misinterpretating things (he's still searching for "Mr. Echo" since someone told him it was Echo who answered him when he yelled insults into mountains for the first time in his life), asking questions, speechifying and doing puns in a way that make you lose sweet, real world neurons and awake the need to throw your dices at his face with a DD 20 will save to avoid doing it.
The fact he breaks the world in half each time he PA makes it all the more funny to see. Oh, and I suspect his dices are haunted or it's hand is made of rabbit paws, since he has a supernatural amount of 18-20 throws coming up with it's keen Greataxe. And it stings.

Second best PC :
A Loyal Evil/Loyal Good schizophrenic vivisectionist/master chymist from the previous campaign. He did an awful lot of damage when boosted, you never knew to which personality you were speaking, and he had a great and fun roleplay. And it was a DMPC ! He had the parasitic twin discovery, and we found out when we voluntarily sacrificed ourselves to save the world than the second personality he awoke with master chymist evolution was this parasitic twin, with which he died hand-in-hand, conforting each other into their painful destiny. He was disgusting (someone said Tumor Familiar with a scorpion ?) and selfish, but truly awesome.

2. Best DM :
My actual one. We can do everything we want, seriously.
Quests are interesting, we feel like we really can change the world the more we adventure. The story is also deeply based around us and our character's dramas/needs/backgrounds, and there were a lot of pure RP sessions our barbarian player loved - a player who hated anything looking close or far like roleplay when the previous DM was the boss. Previously, we had Generic Fighter With A Bit Of Backstory That Could Be Useful ; now we have characters we love so much we wouldn't change them for anything in the world, even a death from times to times can happen and makes us need some rare artifacts to come back if needed. We still fear death since coming back is never a given up.
He is very comprehensive, loves to surprise us with engaging plot hooks and takes pride in rewarding players who get in the game and make it enjoyable for everyone. His only downsides are an under-average mastery of the rules (but I, Rules Lawyer is here to help him), and a tendency to make some fights a bit more too difficult, with a bit of difficulty too for apprehending spellcasters versatility. But nothing that can't be resolved easily by Rules Lawyer, advices and with experience.

3. Best Game :
The actual one ! Following our sacrifice at the base of a giant Magical Cristal made by evil wizards (who finally weren't evil !) to destroy an awakening Chaos demi-god, the barbarian was able to revive 15 years later through a tribal ritual which made him fight all of our previous ennmies one after another in Dante's Inferno style (book, not game), to finally awake, Greataxe in hand, to become the Great King of the barbarian village he left for an initiation rite at level 1. Dwarves are at war with humans in gigantic, flying war vessels and have their base in a steampunk flying city. Chaos is spreading since the demi-god got out alive from our 1-10 campaign where we caused the end of the world by our actions to prevent it. My previous character got to be banned and hunted for saving those who became his companions and who where to be executed for obscure reasons. He then overcame the compiracy, put a coup against the murderer who took the throne and became General under a new emperor who was a peasant of imperial blood. He failed to seduce the elven princess but finally married a bard, which gave him two childs nine months after he left her to his death...
but if you talk systems, then Pathfinder. Switching from 3.5 (and DM) was the best thing we ever did.

4. Favorite PC of mine :

Tough call. Johan Sailor, Empire's General was an awesome character that will come back, and I love it even though he's really becoming sub-par in fight.
But right now, I'm playing a drunk, obese, stinky/sticky hobo of middle age, Qinggong drunken monk of the mountain's lotus with monkey style. (8 Dex. For a monk.)
His wife and his children held a tavern, which burned when thieves quit the house without looking at the candle they let fall behind. It made him become alcoholic and ever since, some topics, like thievery, or marital violence make him loose his calm and peaceful-looking nature.
He drinks the foulest things (his own vomit, basilic amniotic liquid, sewer water...) by adding in it a powder of Greater Enhance water - changing impureties into an alcohol as strong as the base liquid is horrible. Disarming foes with an alarming easiness and poisoning them (1d3 Con/6 rounds, DD20) by puking on them. It changes from the LG Paladin-esque vanilla S&B fighter, and it's awesome to play, so by a close, close gap, I will choose the monk.

[JMecha]

Best game I was ever in was a Star Wars game (Old West End Games D6) that was ran by this man.
