[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 3343683, member: 49514"] Husband says: DMing Best: Rules knowledge, epic stories, and memorable NPCs. DMing Worst: Location, location, location. My combats generally take place in the void as I rarely manage to get more than a sentence of description in. Also, names. NPC personalities on the fly, sure, but when the player asks for the NPC's name, "Uh...crap, you would ask that, wouldn't you?" Playing Best: Rules knowledge, nitpicky details (who actually remembers that your character's base speed modifies their Jump skill if it's higher or lower than 30? Yeah, that's me, along with encumbrance calculated out 3 decimal places for small size characters). Also, fairly unique concepts. Playing Worst: I'm so picky about how the game "should" be run that I can't stand to play under most DMs, which is why I usually DM. The only exception is my wife, primarily because her DMing style is heavily influenced by mine. Wife says: DMing best: Storylines and location, location, location. It's all in the details. DMing worst: Getting so wrapped up in the details that nothing gets done beyond the first session of the campaign. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. :heh: Playing best: Character concepts (when it's good, it's very good). I am a team player. Able to seperate player knowledge from character knowledge. Playing worst: Some rules knowledge. Remembering the details when levelling. Quentin and Marie [/QUOTE]
