To me, this is fun. To my players, it seems to be a hoot. Is this not fun where everyone else is from? |
I do the same thing -- retired PC's that were in Greyhawk are NPC's in my Greyhawk and appear occassionally. The differences are:
- I never ran an evil party in Greyhawk (did once in Mystara, but that doesn't matter since I'm not playing there).
- Only a few PC's made it to "epic" levels.
- The most significant changes by the PC's were defeating the giants and drow and killing Lolth, not changing the nature of countries.
- The retired PC's are scattered around fairly lightly and mostly in the background. The current PC's (2 parties worth) have only met:
-- The retired cleric, who is a healer at the national capital's fortress and raised a dead current PC who was brought there.
-- The retired paladin, who is a guard there and occasionally does special missions
-- The retired ranger, who wanders the wilderness near the Keep on the Borderlands
PCs overthrowing retired PC's does sound fun . . .
