In fact, I'd probably say I've done more gaming in the last year and a half than I have in the twenty years previous.And I've had a lot of fun. I love the tactical skirmish aspect of the game. I love the tightly balanced rules. I love the myriad of options and how easy it is to prepare and run a game.But I haven't really done much roleplaying with it. At least, not the type of roleplaying that results in belly-laughs and memorable events and fun NPC's. The type of stuff you quote on forums and in conversation with fellow geeks years later.Until last night, that is.I DM'd for a new face-to-face group. I decided to go totally 'on the fly'. I only came prepared with the barest minimum of essentials. One player was new to roleplaying and another two were new to the system (4e).But we all had a blast. For the first time in ages, we had some really fun roleplaying encounters with some great memorable moments. Everyone laughed a lot and we finished up the session all agreeing we want to play again next week.It reminded me of a couple of important things that I think everyone should remember about the hobby.
