[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7440965, member: 58172"] I just watched the finale of the Sense8 tv show produced by Netflix. Sense8 seems to me, the kind of work that culture will remember for centuries. The story explores the possibility that consciousness is non-atomistic, and even fluid. Normally, we experience consciousness from the perspective of an individual ‘person’. But the ‘8’ heroes of the story experience consciousness in a way that shares each others experiences. The story also touches on themes of gender and sexuality. One of the eight is gay, and an other of the eight is trans. Occasionally there is a safe-for-work scene of an orgy where all eight are sharing each others sexual experiences simultaneously. Anyway for D&D, Sense8 is a psionic modern setting. Every member of the adventure party connects to each other by means of a mindlink. In this sense, it is impossible to ‘separate the party’. Wherever they are in the world, they are connected to each other and aware of what the other seven are doing. What goes beyond traditional D&D, do you think this is possible in D&D? Each character can employ the abilities of the other. Where one person is skilled in martial arts, all other seven can link to her and become a martial arts combatant wherever they are. Likewise, one person is a gunfighter and the other is an actor, an other is a doctor, an other is a computer technician, and so on. In terms of balance, I think this can work because one kind of shuts down physically to concentrate on assisting the other with the valuable capability. At the least, this sharing of information requires 5e concentration, and at most, it might be sorta like an elf trancing. The main challenge is, can the DM handle it? It might happen that the DM ends up running two or more separate adventures simultaneously because the party split up physically but still connects to each other psychically. [/QUOTE]
