As a Dm, what has been your favorite team from your campaigns, and why? It can be your most serious, or hilarious group. They could have perfect synergy, or no synergy (but still able to work together). DMPCs are not allowed, only PCs.
My favorite team was in Shadowrun. We decided to go all out and have a competition about the craziest character that would still fit the Cyberpunk setting. Only... we did not actually plan that. We justed ended up with it.
We had:
- a "priest" that claimed to be Jesus' younger brother who came to earth to correct his oder brother's mistakes. The "killing blasphemeres with an axe" kind of correction.
- a cat burglar who also was a famous J-Pop star, loathed publicity and, thanks to Halley's comet and the magical Spikes it caused, actually had the corresponding mutations and personality for the "cat" part. Down to chasing the red dot from our sniper's rifle.
- an ex-military hacker whose brain was fried during a mission and who now took on the personality of any cartoon hero or vilain he came across. Another crazy personality every session.
- a raven who was hit by enough magic to take on human shape at will. While human, he was a nordic inspired follower of Odin. Still, he was a raven in the metahuman society of 2072... Which caused several RP moments.
- a drug addicted, hyperactive dwarf mechanic who had a drone for everything and the equivalent of a heavy armored troop transporter to get us around.
This group was awesome. Our DM even told us he didn't have to prepare much, because our characters would make an adventure out of nothing. Like, starting anti-nuclear-power campaigns after we arrived in Munich. Freeing my cat burglar from her own house, after her manager had locker her in because she always disappeared. Entering the drug market in Miami, because we somehow ended up there and needed money. Breaking our crazy hacker out of hospital. Having ourselves imprisoned so we could free a prisoner. Making deals with a devil we encountered... Basically selling souls for a nice party. We even ended up running our own restaurant with integrated children day care in the first floor. And a high-security safehouse for criminals in the cellar.
We also freed a toxic spirit in a nuclear wasteland called SOX, destroyed at least one non-christian church, apprenticed under a russian sculptour, organized the first episode of "Seattle's next super villain", and befriended an orc grandma to get cookies. And we fought a Gang war while our hacker believed to be one of the Beegees and practiced the new song "Staying Alive". Oh, and I think we converted some farmers in Texas to believe in Odin, while our priest was busy elsewhere.
All in all, it was pure madness, no session was like the other and the PCs were crazy, but also extremely funny and memorable. :-)
I really hope I'll get to run a campaign for a similar group one day.
