[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 6075768, member: 13732"] I think I agree that separate sessions are a good idea, but for a few reasons I doubt will work. First, it requires more scheduling and work for the DM, unless someone else takes over during this sidetrek. Second, it would require different players AND different characters. I know how hard it is to set aside your character to run some other lower level character that is going to get treasure your primary or favorite character could be getting. In my case, we had just escaped a trap which sent us to the fairy realm. We spent 4 or 5 rounds there before reversing the situation and when we got back to the prime material plane discovered 4 months had passed. And then we discovered someone was impersonating at least 1 party member. So in between sessions I told the DM I wasn't sure how much cloak and dagger stuff the other players were interested in and that maybe I should play an NPC while my PC went off and did stealthy things. He said there would be stuff happening before we got started. Well, that worked well up until story time expired and some of them wanted to kick the door in. I went along with things as part of the herd. We kicked in the door, which exploded in our face and of course the bad guy got away - at least I believe he did if he wasn't already gone. Anyway, I want to do too many things, some of which the other players don't seem to be interested in. So hiring other adventurers seemed like a cool way to handle it. From talking to the DM, he's willing to work with me, using Leadership, which I already have, but my plans are much bigger than a cohort and followers. [/QUOTE]
