I think that it is good to break up the more acrimonious threads where we tell each other how the other is not having fun the right way with a thread here and there to celebrate the fun we ourselves are having.
This is supposed to be fun, right?
During my Valley of Tombs adventures at TotalCon, things were looking desperate for a couple of the adventurers. In a tomb dedicated to some scarab worshiping cult of ages long past, two characters were trapped in an airtight chamber looking forward to a slow death by asphyxiation while their companions tried everything to move the 20 ton block that had trapped them inside -- to no avail. Finally, in one last desperate gambit, they drilled a hole in the block, stuffed it with dirt from outside the dungeon and planted a bean from their Bag of Beans in the hole.
One random die roll later, a huge pyramid burst forth, shatter the dungeon walls and freeing the trapped adventurers, but also introducing a powerful mummy lord into the setting by pure chance. It was glorious.
