[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2678407, member: 386"] I think it would be cool. Basically you're starting a new campaign in a setting the players have, at least partially, designed for themselves. I'd start them off at 1st level whatever, just like normal. You have the old PCs give some NPCs a mission, and then the players create the 1st level guys and go and complete that mission. Then they can report back, and the high-level PCs can act based on that information. It's really interesting, because you'd be playing the campaign at two different levels at the same time. The low-level guys will have to turn to the high-level guys for ressurection magic, or whatever they need done. When the low-levelers get sent on a mission, the players will know exactly why "they don't just do it themselves". It would be cool if you could base all the low-level missions on the high-level guy's play. Something small needs to be taken care of, but the high-levelers won't get any XP or any real loot; might as well send the flunkies to take care of that. And the high-levelers have somthing else to deal with. (Even if it is just making magic items.) Then you play a session with the low-level guys. I guess I'm thinking about something like this: Some NPC from town tells the PCs about something small - bandits raiding, orcs going nuts, rats in the sewers - and about something big at the same time (your high-level plot hook). (Or the high-level plot hook comes in whatever form it usually does.) The PCs then tell the low-level PCs to take care of the bandits/orcs/goblins, and they go and deal with the lich who is gathering the army of undead. It would be like, in Sagiro's game, playing Abernathy's Company and Abernathy himself. [/QUOTE]
