What are you best at in an RPG?

[Elrik_DarkFury]

Ach,I was never too good talking about myself.
I am rather a player than a DM-i get bored easily when i DM andl i feel i haven't played enought yet to satisfy my rolleplaying hunger .
As a player i am a good tactician who tries to build strong characters to kick a$$es.
I tend to be very impatient and a rather chaotic person who can't tolerate insults(this has worked against me a LOT of times).
I always want to help the DM (through roleplaying) but when i feel he judges poorly i tend to get disturbing and annoying.

As a DM ... There must be something good about me .
Ok.I think i am good at scaring pcs,as well as creating interesting and challenging battles.Its been a long time since i really DMed so i ll tell u more after summer .

As a player, I'm really good at rolling 1s. Also, making characters with long-term goals and interests that manifest in the game.

As a DM, I run fun combats, and find ways to let each class shine.

I Have No Idea.

People tell me I'm a pretty good DM, but I can't say as I excel at any one thing. If it's anything, it's that I try to be as immersive with detail in my worlds as possible (one player has apparently thought me a little TOO immersive in the past). I try to tell them what they can have for breakfast, what the rumors in town are, what Storm Silverhand is wearing (they enjoy that part), who is in town that they've met before, I have them chance upon old NPC's, etc. In my homebrew games, I'm a bit better at it, since I feel like I have more creative freedom there; in my Forgotten Realms games, I do quite a bit of studying to get the details down, so I have them at the tip of my brain; if something is not known to me, I make it up on the fly and write it down for later.

I'm not a combat-master; I can create some fairly interesting combat scenarios (most of them cribbed from story hours here), and I'm not a stellar roleplayer - but I can sometimes get some pretty good performances out of people who are shy about RP'ing, so I'm happy when that happens.
