Most Fun Game Moment
My "broken" Monk/Rogue killing a Purple Worm by doing 117hp in one round with a Hasted Flurry is runner up.
The most fun was a running battle involving that same Monk/Rogue and a Ranger chasing a Formorian Giant down a bunch of tunnels, with the rest of the party left almost hopelessly in our dust. He jumped down a hole? Ok, I run down the hole (slippers of spider climb). He climbs up a shaft? Fine, I dimension leap (dragon mark) to the opening he's heading for.
The most amusing bit was that while we were chasing the Giant in the dark, I decided that I didn't want my pocket battleship of a character to get caught and creamed all by himself. So I slowed to a double-move and allowed the Ranger to pass me. The player started mocking me, laughing as he did so. I answered back. We were having a lot of fun with it when the GM decided that we were somehow serious and that he'd best put a stop to this bickering before punches were thrown.
The Ranger player and I just looked at each other and laughed.
Of course, maybe it was because the GM is a fellow player in this game;
Worst Game Moment
Having a fun game almost derailed and lots of blame spread when I (and other players who were more passive aggressive about the whole thing) got tired of the GM's SO playing an intentionally quirky character who loved to mess up the party. You want to play quirky, fine. You want to mess up, fine. Just don't wield them as a weapon against the rest of the party while sitting back laughing at how much trouble you're causing.
Runner up (a different game) involved the GM's pregnant wife putting her character into harms way, then angrily declaring that she would make his life a living hell if anything happened to her PC. Game ground to a complete halt until two long time players put their feet down and declared that they didn't want to play with people who did this sort of thing. One of them later left the group, possibly because her new character clocked in at 61 points. I subsequently left the game due to work schedule conflicts.
(Not at all Amusing note: Notice how both games had problems due to the GM's SO? Two different GMs/SOs. It's going to make me extremely wary of any future game groups that include the GM's SO.)
Best Stuff of 2005
Serenity Movie and DVD. I never got into the show until well after it was cancelled.
Batman Begins. Give me a product this good and I can overlook the problems in it.
DMGII. I don't buy that many gaming products. This is worth it.
