Thanks. I've been fortunate that most folks I've gamed with have been very good role-players. When everyone around you is great, it really raises the bar and inspires you as well. But it's almost as fun to be in a really bad gaming session as it is good (kind of like B-Movies that are so bad they're fun).

There was one night everybody was rolling fumbles, which resulted in some goofy role-playing and eventually brought on a debacle that added the term "Elven Swan Dive" into our gaming vernacular (I won't emotionally scar you with gory details, but it generally applies when a character attempts to perform some act of athleticism and fails miserably, usually resulting in serious bodily harm and/or death - It’s even more apropos when character is an elf or other being that likes to take itself seriously). http://www.wizards.com/community/images/boards/wink.gif

Nothing gold can stay.
