Here are thoughts:- Ask the player why he feels that his leader should leave to explore or adventure himself. If they say "I don't know", then get his imagination working.- In our world, leaders (e.g. nation leaders) are usually not combatants that can single-handedly defeat hundreds of opponents. In D&D and some other RPGs, they are.- Have the PCs develop a trustworthy relationship with a few NPCs that they leave in charge. These NPCs can start by adventuring with the PCs and gain their trust over time.- Ask the players why they feel that the adventuring leader makes no sense whatsoever in the gaming environment. I mean, at one point, if you're playing a fantasy RPG and you're not too inclined towards realism as a consequence, having the leader adventure is not that far-fetched IMO. Back to my first point: I'm sure they can find an easy solution to explain their adventuring envies. Think about this billionnaire (who's name I forget) who died a year or two ago while flying his plane across the Atlantic ocean (or something): he also went on boat trips, wanted to go into space, did extensive hiking trips, ... He was a bit out of the ordinary, why can't the PCs be too?Sky</blockquote>
