What are your most memorable moments in roleplaying ?

for me it was a P&P (pen and paper) game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (just a different brand of AD&D for those of who who dont know it). I don't even remember what my character was, but we had been travelling somewhere when we were ambushed by a superior force of bandits. So we jumped on the wagon and made a run for it. The bandits, of course, gave chase. We were a new party and didn't have much stuff, and the only one of us with a ranged weapon just happened to be driving the cart, so my resourceful fellow, sitting in the back of the cart started rummaging through his bag. This is where P&P really excells over pcRPG...
I found a fork in the cutlery and threw it at the leader of the bandits, who was on a horse and in hot pursuit. By an amazing roll of the dice, the fork hit him in the eye and killed him! Seeing the death of their leader the other bandits stopped the chase and we got away.
This ability to improvise is what really makes P&P so exciting.

My other favorite was in BG2. I had (i think) Anomen kitted out with some sort of spell shield item (can't remember which one, and I've tried looking) and we were in a dungeon full of beholders. I noticed that all the beholder "cause serious wounds" were rebounding and hitting their casters, so i just ran anomen alone through the whole level and let the beholders kill themselves on him. haha
