[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2193373, member: 13098"] As I mentioned in the [i]What is best in life[/i] thread, Russ brought up the possibility of using secondary characters. It's definitely an idea worthy of discussion. Would we want to play a group of secondaries? One of the things that Russ liked about it was when the two groups would sometimes work together. To make that reasonable, the groups would need to be similar enough in motivations to want to work together, and they would need to have an opportunity to meet. If you guys just want a change of pace through the secondaries, it would not be as important to have them ideaologically similar. Another thing to consider is how much of a framework would you like me to impose? The last game, the secondaries were basically in the role of special forces. You would get your orders on what you needed to do and within those orders, you could choose your best course. But rejecting the mission really wasn't an option in that situation. Obviously some of the poll choices imply restrictions on the characters as well. I mean a group fo Durgon & Thurgon fighting the giants limits your race choices severly. I have a lot of ideas at any given moment and many of them would be easy to integrate into the game world as it stands. So let's discuss secondaries and what kind of adventures you might want to undertake with them. Make a choice in the poll, elaborate with discussion. Sage, you need to put in your opinion as well. If we decide to integrate secondaries into the game, they will be a sometimes diversion from the primary characters. Secondaries would allow us to keep the game going someplace without leaving Deigh behind and that is a great immediate benefit. But down the road, there will likely be times when you would be playing with the secondaries as well. EDIT: If you want a little more information on some of the choices, please post. I might not tell you everything, but if you have some expectations on what you want to do, it is better to get those out for discussion now. [/QUOTE]
