I'm in a group that plays weekly sessions (8-9 hours) of currently Pathfinder (previously 3.5) and is closing up on its second year (having not played about 6-7 sessions spread out of over those two years).
At the end of last year we voted on a bunch of best off stuff, and we want to do it again this year. Aside from this being a good idea to steal (you are welcome!), I'd like feedback on the categories. Based on your experience playing D&D, what would be good questions to ask?
Let me give you an example of a finished product:

- Favorite NPCs
- Most annoying NPCs
- Favorite PCs per player
- most annoying PCs per player
- Best battles
- Best battle moments
- Best role-playing moments
- Worst meta-gaming moments

Let me hear some suggestions!
