Have you ever let your ego creep into your character? Did it turn ugly, or did you manage to check yourself?

[QUOTE="Henry, post: 7522607, member: 158"] Those are some of my favorite moments as a player - when you and another player are in on the dynamic and it just works. I once met another player at Gencon, first time we had ever spoken, where I played the Greyhawk character Robilar and she played Quij, Robilar's *ahem* faithful orc manservant. I gave her no end of crap, making Quij take trapfinding detail, ordering him into danger first, etc. and she played along perfectly, at times even interpreting Robilar's orders in a way that gave him an eye twitch. :) She was a fantastic player, sorry to say I don't think I ever met her at any other conventions, since I rarely got to play RPGA at the time. It's also one of the reasons I've really gotten into Critical Role - the in-person dynamics between the players in everything from sentimental moments to outright conflict is pretty amazingly done, because they've been friends so long they know exactly how far to take things, always to the betterment of the story, whether it is detrimental to their PCs or not. :) [/QUOTE]
