It has come to pass in the sandbox game I am playing in that I want to do things that the rest of my party isn't interested in. Further, there is something of a play style difference that means off screen stuff is likely to happen more with my character than the rest of the party.
It dawned on me today that while I was planning to play an NPC next session while my PC was busy behind the scenes, I could play this idea out further and hire adventurers to do things I want done. Specifically explore a location in this example.
Has anyone done this before? I see a few ways of handling it, either through troupe style play or simply running seperate sessions with other players/characters. And simple story mode depending on the danger level. Being a sandbox I don't know first hand if I'd need experienced adventurers or novice, which makes things interesting.
