Message: <blockquote data-quote="Danzilla" data-source="post: 675807" data-attributes="member: 7468">This thread reminded me of something that happened a few weeks ago...First a little backstory concerning our playing other peoples characters...When we miss playing sessions, another player plays that persons character as close to the owning players style as they can...though sometimes we just can't act or do things as stupid as they do <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(:" title="Smile    (:"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname="(:" />) )...If enough people have to miss the game, we just get together and play something else...Back to where I started this post...a few weeks ago one of our players was late (this player works on our game nights and generally shows up about 3 hours later than the rest of us so we work around his schedule) and I was playing his character at this time due to my current character being out of the action for a bit...I had started the evening off with a question that had occured to me on the way to the game...what if a person were playing another persons character and that character were to die...how would we handle that (at the time this was a hypothetical question) To my motification, I was playing the character as close to the players style as I could (we generally kept an eye on each other and if we saw another player messing up by doing actions that the character shouldn't do or not doing actions that should we would tell the player) I found myself rapidly falling to a -8 hp and wishing I hadn't started the evening with the questions I had.Anyway, we bailed the character out of his predicament and laughed about the situation, but not before I handed the character over to the player and told him of his characters condition...sort of a welcome to the game, your character's unconcious and about to die type thing...Dan "still a bit mortified" Zilla</blockquote>
