[QUOTE="Randalthor, post: 6093205, member: 6706950"] Shucks, one of my favorite RPing experiences was when I was playing a Kid, and an Outlaw character - who did not really get along - in a Star Wars game. It was way back in the mid-to-late '80s, I was in the Marine Corps and stationed in Okinawa. We would play at what we called the "Burger Barn" a sort of restaurant there on Camp Foster. The group was small so we were all playing 2-characters, there was a wide variety, and as there were already 2 jedi in the group (I think one of my first characters was a jedi, but he died) I went with something completely different - at least for me - a Kid. The Awesome Session involved no action, in fact there were no die rolls that we did not impose on ourselves for whatever reason. (Like: Did my character overhear the conversation being had by these other characters? - that sort of thing.) All the 6+ hour session was, was the group of us arriving at a starport on some planet in our busted up ship, in need of some serious repair. We landed, dealt with the port authorities and repair guys, then walked to a nearby bar. The session ended with our arrival at the bar. (I think it was closing time, around 2 AM for the Burger Barn.) What made it so fun was being in character the whole time (mostly, we did get food and stuff), talking with the other PCs - and a few NPCs, here and there - and just i[I]nteracting.[/I] Some of the other characters made a point of instigating little problems between my two characters as they all knew the Outlaw did not like having the "runty little pest" around. For his part, the Kid just had a lot of fun bugging the Outlaw as he knew it got under his skin; the other who did not mind him being around, the Kid did not bother - usually. Now, that is not to say that in every session the Kid was doing nothing but causing problems with the other characters, he did things for the current mission (it was the rebellion era, of course), but liked to play around a bit here and there. For the life of me, I cannot remember why the Kid was running around in the rebellion, but it probably had something do with avenging his family, or something like that. (This was a loooooonnng time ago.) I always wondered what the other patrons of the place thought when they saw us roleplaying... nobody gave us any grief, so that's good, but I still wonder. [/QUOTE]
