Pellanor 01-11-06, 12:29 PM	Are we talking Players or Characters? Either way, it would have to be my current group, mostly because it's my first time DMing (though the campign has been running for some time now).
Qual 01-11-06, 12:48 PM	Well, I was like 17, and my parents were away, and I invited ALL my friends over and we broke into the liquor cabinet and... Oops... wrong party. ;)
Gnome_Dragon_Disciple 01-11-06, 01:14 PM	I am one of those poor unfortunates who has never really found the ideal party for myself (although my current one comes damned close). I've been plagued by powergamers, munchkins, players with no concept of the effort I put forward (and therefore never really bothered to do so much as pay attention), players who never bother to buy and/or read the PHB, players who had nothing better to do than memorize every monster and campaign detail from every book WotC has ever published (but not realizing that their characters don't know what their players do), and players who can't quite grasp that, unlike Final Fantasy, events in the game will actually change based on what the players do (Actual game-table quote: "What do you mean the guards want to place me under arrest? I only went into the house to see if there was a magic sword in it!")... Right now I have a fairly good party going, except for one kid whose sole problem is that he doesn't yet grasp the idea that a character is shaped by the circumstances of a setting... And that a character doesn't have to look freaky or act outlandish to be "cool"... And that really wierd things just get in the way of a great character. Like Werewolf/Vampires, or as he calls them, "Werepires". Still, even he's better than many of the jerks, idiots, and incosiderate punks who have gone out of their way to ruin my campaigns then tell me in no uncertain terms why (apparently, some players see it as their duty to test the limits of a campaign and then tell the DM where he screwed up). Better a player whose only problem is immaturity than a player whose very essence is anatema to everything I try to achieve in the game.
celtredleg 01-11-06, 01:24 PM	As a player a group I played with in college. Huge group about 12-14 people most days. Outstanding for both combat and RP experience. As a DM I have had several very good groups. My current group is the remnents of an outstanding combat group. All I have left are a couple players who are having a bit of trouble becoming a group. Great players but missing something.
carioca 01-11-06, 01:53 PM	well, i have been playing with the same guys for 15 years. some campaign they are inspired, others they are far from it :p
mike_beavers 01-11-06, 02:39 PM	I have had a couple of really fine, fun to play with groups. My original group in the late 70's (we were playing original D&D) was really a group of creative kids (late teens). They fired my imagination. This group disbanded in the early 80's as they went off to real life. The second group was orginally formed in 1980 and three of them are still playing with me to this day. They were the more hardcore wargamer types, again creative in their tactics and uses for items. A different type of challenge which kept me fresh. There was also a third group which was fun although they were kinda incompentent. This group lasted about 5 years. Again real life intruded and they disbanded. I am currently running the remants of the 1980 group with new additions, and a newer group (2 years now)
Jesper 01-11-06, 03:00 PM	the first adventure I ever DMed for. It was the only time my players have ever played a Good aligned charter (still to this date they have never repeated that "mistake")
