A recent session in my ongoing 4E campaign went really extremely well: we hit an excellent balance between combat and noncombat parts, I hit upon a puzzle idea that was both a perfect mechanical representation of "summon a spirit" because it worked according to actual occult principles and fit perfectly with the grid-based movement system, and my players were proactive, steered the action and came up with a really clever plan to solve a problem which may be an everyday thing for a lot of people but I take my small victories over their tendency to get bogged down in pessimistic overplanning where I can get them.

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack during battles. There's a nice dynamic ebb and flow to it. Most other fantasy soundtracks I found were uniformly pompous or the old standby of chorals without much melody. In theory Final Fantasy music would be great, in practice it loops after a few seconds and when a combat takes an hour...

Oh man, this guy I used to play with had the biggest thing about theme songs. When he DMed he'd bug me about what my character's theme song was for weeks after the game was already well underway. Eventually I said something just to get him to shut up and he never used it. When he played he joined our existing party and when the DM introduced him he was like "hold on!", fiddled with an MP3 player and played a tinny version of what was recognizably some FFVI character's motif while dramatically placing his mini on the table. Good guy but am I glad we moved past his RPG style.

The hubcap shield makes that story. Dude was just hoping to find a better one in the loot parcel.

"Guys, this is super boring, you all can summon fire and magic wolves and all I can do is swing my sword, and half the time I don't even get to do that because you solve all the problems with one spell." "Shut up, Eric, it's called verisimilitude."

I'm picturing Monstrous Regiment, but starring the stoning crowd from Life of Brian.
