We're about to indoctrinate two newbies, so I'm gonna have a 6-person group. And I was thinking, this would be a good time to try an experiment. I've been watching a lot of TV on DVD lately -- mostly Buffy, Stargate, and 24. This is something I've observed. Buffy and Stargate are designed in the traditional gaming mold, where the group (or party, if you will) spends most of the time together and occasionally heads off on their own. 24, however, almost never has more than half (at most) of the group together at a time. Yet the characters still obviously live in the same place and react to the same events. It's much more of an ensemble piece than a party tale. I think this is what I want to try. However, I'm iffy on the hows and whether or not it will really work. Especially since I want to run Forgotten Forge and Shadows of the Last War. I was thinking that I could branch them out and expand on them some, allowing for multiple paths to the same end goal. And then, once that point is reached, the characters will have met each other and we can see how things go from there. How does all of this sound? Does it make sense? Am I crazy? Will it work?</p></blockquote><p></p>
