[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 8048393, member: 7015719"] In the Tianxia game we played the GM did a bit of a weird thing, that hopefully will pay off. We are for various reasons only 4 players in this campaign + the gm (our normal group is 8 players including the GM). The goal of the campaign is to have lots of intrigue and wuxia-style kung fu fighting. What he did was that each of us created a character, and some are quite far away distance-wise. For example my character is on the other side of the continent compared to two of the others (not sure where the fourth character is). So the GM made other characters that will be the entourage of each of "our characters", and we got to play those. So for example when we played yesterday, my character was the fiance of the "main" character for that session, another was a revered servant, and another a newcomer in town (who I understood is actually a criminal in hiding). The "main" character yesterday, she had earlier found an old mythical temple that was in disuse, and are now starting to have it rebuilt. There had been some sabotages and attacks against her house, and the work being done in regards to the temple. We decided to investigate, and stoppen an attack by bandaits on a shipment of some vital components for the rebuilding of the temple. W captured 2, 1 got away, and one dies. We managed to question the bandits, and were told they had been hired by one of the sons of a rival house. Next session, the character I made (a respected scholar and doctor, who knows everything in theory about chi, but doesn't have the skill to use it herself) will be the "main" character, and I know that will center a bit about her having to prepare all the things for her older sister's wedding, and making sure that it goes well. What could possibly go wrong? And one of the the other characters will be my character's servan;, a daughter of a former (disgraced) general. [/QUOTE]
