In a 10'x10'room?"<br />"I didn't say how high the ceiling was."Phaseshifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10814669167366408535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903482250316165899.post-64123134394229722232017-10-27T13:25:48.889-07:002017-10-27T13:25:48.889-07:00Or if the player is cool with me or (preferably!) ...Or if the player is cool with me or (preferably!) another party member running their character.Kyle Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14265783643567169517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903482250316165899.post-78557956225194714422017-10-27T12:55:51.995-07:002017-10-27T12:55:51.995-07:00If half or more of the players in a run want to re...If half or more of the players in a run want to recall, the whole run ends right there. I'm cool with Sean's approach as well if we know the player can't/won't come back.

If a player departs, then in the short term, the associated PC joins the NPC complement and becomes mine to control – in line with disads and past behavior, of course. Standing deals remain in force, so if the players don't want a plankowner acting on the GM's whims but taking a full share, they can always leave that NPC in town at the next opportunity. If they do, they lose that person's gear and expertise . . . they don't get to keep that hero's possessions and they can't expect that individual to be available for hire when they return later on.Sean Punchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04311287023783258493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903482250316165899.post-45960314353200200952017-10-27T04:13:17.804-07:002017-10-27T04:13:17.804-07:00What's the protocol when a group decides to ca...What's the protocol when a group decides to camp in a dungeon, and then one of the players never shows up again?Emily Smirlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12855334946339324522noreply@blogger.com
