A favorite role-playing game moment

[thewayne]

I was starting a new character in an existing campaign in which I had not played before. One of the players, Mike F., had a character who was a mystic, "see all, know all" type of character. I introduced my character to the rest of the group with a basic physical description, basic power backgroud, and that was about it. No revealing of my secret origin, after all, it was secret.

Mike says: "I know all, see all. Tell me your origin." I said "No." Mike looked surprised, "Why not?" I said "You blinked."

Mike accepted it and never learned my origin, not that I have a clue what the origin was or who the character was. It was a pretty funny moment, I might have gotten some bonus EP for making everyone laugh and catching Mike flat-footed.

Dunno why it popped in to mind, perhaps because I'm playing Champions on Saturday.
