[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 5313163, member: 83115"] Indeed, which is advantageous, because it means I can bring in a new group whenever I feel I have the time to manage multiple groups,(And with the Guest DM Idea, I can even get them rolling when I HAVEN'T time, and let them RP amongest themselves... so long as I don't get totally undermined. :P) Or bring in a new character and get him up to speed. I think the greatest challenge there would be the potential issue of the veteran PC's not wanting to risk their necks to help the greenie. :P Indeed. I prefer to play my character's knowledge of a setting to equal my own. So, if I don't know the setting, my character will PROBABLY be a peasant-boy hero. Similar to a certain trio of "Wool-headed Farmboys" from an author we both know and love. :P And this is another major reason I was opting for it. It allows players more 'control' over things while saving the DM work for the most part, and lets everyone own a piece of the story. Haha, and thusly you've typed up much of my brainstorming. Which was exactly what I had in mind to start... just because it will be easier for me to work with if I have more time to mull over the different characters and work on hooks for them and things. Or a fight *IN* the gauntlet for particularly prestigious matches. :P Kinda like that old show Battlebots or whatever, with the remote controlled fighting cars with chainsaws and stuff... with the traps. I figured this was a promising premise, inspired after seeing a couple gladiator based 4E games. I figured I let some 3.5ers get in on the action... and get my feet wet in DMing. I am thinking I will likely start recruitment this weekend, perhaps, since currently it looks like my friday morning/afternoon are open as well as all day saturday, and Sunday afternoon for a bit... I should have some time to sit down and work some stuff out. [/QUOTE]
