[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 6816501, member: 17607"] Maybe -- sounds like your store liked to run lots of different events, benefiting players with a stable of characters who could then swap out from table to table depending on which table needed what character or what magic item might drop from the module on a given table. That's not a 'wrong' way to play -- there really isn't a 'wrong' way to play in that sense -- but it's not the style of play the storyline seasons were designed to support. The store I'm playing at isn't going to be doing much Season 4 this next few months, but for precisely the opposite reason -- the table I'm playing on just finished DDEX 2-1, and we'll be running the whole of Season 2 and Season 3, with the order slightly shuffled to allow us to play all of Season 2 with a single character, then start again for Season 3. At two hours of available play per week, we might not get to Season 4 until the calendar rolls around to the Season 6 launch. The advantage of doing it this way is that we really get to 'dig in' to the story of each season; the disadvantage is that the character I'm playing at the store is not the character I'll likely be playing at GenCon or GameholeCon. As with any compromise, it's a question of what you find more important. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
