[QUOTE="rawgt3, post: 4135273, member: 58836"] Funny this got brought up again. We still have'nt started playing due to scheduling problems and I was asking the "Vice DM" if he would like to run a solo for me but he favors the idea that I make the map and tell him what to put in it(vaguely e.g. kobolds and a few simple traps in random areas) every other session. Or we could take turns with adventures in the same campaign. I have i think 2 prob. with these ideas though. first, My idea for this game is to be almost like a movie (as far as drama and suspence go) and I am not exactly confident In his ability to run it as such. 2nd as a "movie" some of the adventures will be entwined into others and I'm not sure if he can pull it off without spoiling it. I would talk to him about it but ,once again, If he knows there will be suspence, he will kill it.(He's one of those people that narrates(and thus ruins) dramatic tension. "Oh look there goes gandalf to go sacrifice himself to save the party...Aww,He can't hold on much longer.Opp, there he goes.Here comes that really high-pitched sad music.Frodo screams like a girl.You know if you think about it,gandalf is like a kamikazi." :mad: As per the solo game,since their are 4 of us I was origionally intending to have 2 different games with 3 players but opon further thinking ,I did'nt want the other 2 players to get confused or start making references to the other game.
