[QUOTE="Jay Verkuilen, post: 7751683, member: 6873517"] Sure, it's happened in various ways. Example: I played in an "ensemble cast" type of campaign where there were a small number of players but we had varying PCs. It was set in the City of Greyhawk, and we had various adventures in the area over the course of a few years of game time. One of my PCs, Buckminster Burrmaster II, was kind of a n'er-do-well halfling fighter who'd not been happy in halfling society and was somewhat outcast due to his adventuring ways. After his friend Borlin the Dwarf got killed by a demon, he cashed out his magic items and went courting, eventually marrying Euphemia Morris, youngest daughter of the pipeweed magnate Philip Morris. Two PCs got introduced at his wedding, later. Another character had a relationship (of sorts) with the Djinn in her Ring of Djinn Summoning and a different one fell hard for a Nymph, so hard he organized a massive raid against the Horned Society to recover her after she was captured. The way we always handled it was to have anything explicit "fade to black" in fine TV fashion. An "ensemble cast" type game is a lot of fun and allows for things like PCs having relationships, doing longer term projects, and the like. It also means there's a lot of variety so the party can be tailored to the story going on. It really depends on the group, though---some groups are fine with it, others should just stay away.
