[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2380355, member: 19675"] I am almost, but not quite, that guy. I have hundreds of PCs, most unplayed, that cover my 28 years of play- some are even for systems I never got to play. No, there are not enough campaigns for me to try them all out. Most of this is due to wanting to play every cool concept I've ever seen or come up with myself. However, I don't try to swtich my PCs out at the first opportunity. If my PC dies, though, I always have a backup ready to go. Having this guy design NPCs for you is a great idea, as long as you can rely on him not using his knowlege of the NPCs when the party encounters them. You might also tell the player that "this PC" is THE ONE- as in "The Chosen One." In other words, in some way essential to the campaign. Not that this is neccessarily true...it could be a false prophesy, he could be a decoy, etc. On the other hand, if the other players don't have a problem with it, let him keep doing the rotating guest star. Most dramas DO have them, after all. One session, he plays the hireling...the next, the secret prince...the next, who knows? [/QUOTE]
