Crossing Campaigns

[dvvega]

I regularly crossover with other DMs ... although I'm the main DM (2 years at a stretch normally), I like to take breaks to write more so others take over the DMing for me. They normally run for a set of scenarios or something they may have planned and I play.

As for crossover multiple groups I did that with 2 of my old greyhawk groups. I wrote a freeform scenario (LARP) for D&D and ran that as my wife's birthday party. We had 12 people (6 from each group) stuck on the demi-plane of Ravenloft for the evening. It was great.

Hmm, anyone ever try a cross-over game where the pcs from two different dms' campaigns meet? Kinda a "JLA/Avengers" type thing?

If so, how'd it work out? How did the dming duties get divvied up? Was it a party v party battle, a team-up, or both? Would it have made a good issue of Marvel Team-Up?

Our group is trying out this very idea. One of our members thought,"we have all these characters from 2nd and 3rd ed that we just stopped playing for all sorts of reasons....everyone pick their favorite..update to 3.5 and we'll have some fun." We've only run one game and my character is now dead. It was FUN though. The prep alone was great. I'm a recent addition to this group and I got to hear some amazing old stories. The clever escapes and gloriously stupid deaths were fantastic to hear.
