[QUOTE="Mithreander, post: 1153450, member: 13791"] My only question: is Jack Haggerty a PC? I was under the impression that he was an NPC. To have an NPC stteal a plot device, and then say that the NPC will look into it after the current adventure that they are running, would disrupt the gaming world. The NPC is higher level then waht the adventure is made for, will take liberties designed for PC's and basically become a PC. It seems to me that Jack is trying to play a higher level PC without raising him through regular channels, though that could be a miss conception on my part. Eitherway, I think it would be safe to generate rules of conduct for NPC's, such as the only ones to be played ina given adventure are those run by the DM (standard), or those [i]invited[/i] to participate to add flavor (The City of Fallon and another city ran by another DM ally together for some reason and meet to discuss things with the PCs involved, etc...). An NPC from one DM's domain, should not disrupt the domain of another DM or potential DM. In this case, that's exactly what this looks like, and Jack (the player) looks to play Jack (the NPC) in the adventure of Someone (the person), which should not be allowed. THis is all. of course, just my humble opinion. Oh, and I could be wrong about Jack Haggerty being an NPC, in which case I was COMPLETELY wrong! [/QUOTE]
