August 4: What is the most impressive thing that you can remember another player’s character doing in a session?
Matt: In the last year I’ve seen my group of players lose sanity in a never ending search of artifact across Europe and Middle East: when one of the character died in a fight against one of their archenemy the entire group collapsed and, after a couple of tears and a series of “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry for your loss” they started to gather his things, send it to family and be sure that he will be remembered as a hero. The group play together from 3 years, and still counting. What I admire the most in these kind of player is the ability to create real empathy with their character and to evolve the personality of their character. This evolution of bidimensional character to (almost) real person is the real essence of RPG.
Alex: A player of one of the biggest campaign I GMed for D&D commited a genocide of the entire population of minotaurs of his dimension when he was lvl 22 in order to become one Mephistopheles’ soul harvester (also because his party had been merely killed by minotaurs tribes when he was lvl 5 !!!!)
Manuel: I do not remember… I can mention that session when a friend of mine (that was playing a cleric of fire god) was able to kill my character three times due to serious burns…
