RPGaDay 2024: Day 19

19. Sensational session

"Sensational" is a strong word, but from a GM's point of view, I'll take it to mean an enjoyable adventure with a satisfying resolution, a great group of players, and a comfortable gaming location. I was running a homebrew adventure I had written for Timeship that began at the O.K. Coral in Tombstone, moved to San Francisco via train, and ended in Shanghai via steamship. The players included some of my oldest friends and our younger brothers. The location was a luxurious conference room (complete with kitchen!) at our local university library. One of my friends had reserved the room for us, despite the fact that we were high school and junior high school students who had no connection with the university. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience under perfect circumstances. Amongst other things, a barroom brawl was started, a U.S. President was rescued, and a manmade earthquake was averted. (Hurrah!) I consider that session sensational.

RPGaDAY 2017: Day 07

7. What was your most impactful RPG session?

I am interpreting "impactful" to mean "humorously memorable" because that's how I roll.

As a referee, it was either the time a non-player character anti-paladin successfully converted a player character paladin to diabolism ("I can no longer draw Fedifensor from its scabbard?!? NOOOOO!!!") in AD&D 1e (Whoops! Sorry, Andrew!), or the time the player characters prevented Doc Holliday (whom I portrayed with an unintended Jack Nicholson impersonation) from dying in a gunfight before the actual Gunfight at the O.K. Corral in Timeship. Also, when my younger brother's character entered the roughest saloon in Tombstone and ordered milk, which escalated into an all out barroom brawl.

There are many humorously memorable moments from my last Swords & Wizardry White Box campaign, but they are too numerous to mention.
