[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 7898523, member: 6775477"] I've seen shared campaigns before, and IME they only end well with clear rules established at the beginning. Obviously that's not the case here, so you need to talk with the group. Assuming you're the only one who's had another DM screw with their character, I'd suggest axing the character and starting again with another one from your same region. If others have the same problem, you might want to consider rebooting the entire campaign. I have no idea what the other DMs are thinking, but trying to have a cohesive character plot split among several DMs just won't work without collaboration, which is against the spirit of this type of campaign. For this particular type of campaign, the best method I would suggest is the following: [LIST] [*]Each Player/DM designs their own character and the region they're from. [*]The DM uses their turn as DM to expand the background and story of their character to the others by exploring the region they're from. [*]DM's may only expand the backstory of another PC after they've already run (so they have at least some understanding of the background), and only with the player's permission. [LIST] [*]They can have odd plot points occur after the background. The DM who had the wealthy family assassinated is perfectly fine, because presumably this is a plot point for the adventure (someone manipulating the party). [/LIST] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
