I never really been a player in a long campaign &#8211; I just run them. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<p>Back in the heyday of DnD 3.0 and 3.5, I participated in all the local gaming conventions, especially the &quot;Living&quot; campaigns, since that let me actually, you know, play. My main guy in the Living Greyhawk campaign was Gwydion, a kilt-wearing skald (couple-three levels of barbarian, the rest bard). He was a ton of fun to play, and managed to pull off some pretty great tricks (detonating an entire necklace of fireballs, with only four hit points at the time, and surviving &#8211; probably tops the list).<\/p>\n<p>I was especially happy when, at around level nine, events in the campaign and the path I&#39;d taken Gwydion let him move into the &quot;Spy&quot; prestige class as he became an agent of the Crown of Furyondy. That was pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>I played him again, about a year later: older, grizzled, married, with a missing hand, and managed to berserk and pull off a &#39;trip&#39; maneuver against a young black dragon, leaving the big bastard prone for the group&#39;s rogue to take apart. People still talk about that one.<\/p>\n<p>Gwydion&#39;s probably the guy I wish I could play more.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>August 4:<\/i><\/b><i> What is the most impressive thing that you can remember another player&rsquo;s character doing in a session?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>The first thing to come to mind is <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/103328827291075446110\" oid=\"103328827291075446110\">Margie Kleerup<\/a><\/span> in our Star Wars game, fairly recently, driving a landspeeder across the backs of a herd of stampeding bantha as they thundered down a narrow canyon.<\/p>\n<p>That, and probably <span class=\"proflinkWrapper\"><span class=\"proflinkPrefix\">+<\/span><a class=\"proflink\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/102490474608993969903\" oid=\"102490474608993969903\">Kate Testerman<\/a><\/span>&#39;s character from our short <i>Don&#39;t Rest Your Head<\/i> game, making paradox-level time travel totally work in an awesome way.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>August 5:<\/i><\/b><i> What story does your group still tell about your character?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned already, probably the time I successfully did a grapple\/trip attack against a black dragon.
