[QUOTE="BMF, post: 134827, member: 3149"] Kinda in a hurry here, so I'll be brief. After DMing for about 8 years or so, I finally met a few really good gamers. On a lark on day, we all skipped school and hung out at my place and gamed all day. The session was all off the top of my head, but one of the new players brought a lowly 1st level human wizard into the game. little did we know it was the start of an epic saga that would last nearly 10 years (and is still going on) That lowly 1st level human wizard is now an 18th level emperor and has been converted through every edition of the game (1e, 2e, 2.5e and now 3e). What made it good? 1. Lots of cool NPCs. 2. A gripping story that spanned the character's entire life and involved 3 alignment changes (NG -> CG -> CE) 3. Numerous narrow escapes and epic heroics. 4. An intigrated plot that connected the events of his first adventure with the events of his most recent exploits 5. Heavy role-playing, especially at higher levels when politics became important.
