The other thread about PCs becoming NPCs after the player stopped playing or the group started another campaign got me to this thought. Would you allow Pcs to play in other games/campaigns with other DMs and come back?
I see on one hand where my group played in a series of rotating DMs for about a level each time and used the same group of PCs. It was more a beer and pretzels game where humor and throwing dice was more important. On the other hand, if I was the DM for a more serious campaign and we took two weeks off for holiday and a player came back and said they took the PC to grandma's and played so they are not 2 levels higher and oh, look at the cool item I now have, I would have to step in and cancel grandma's for the sake of the rest of the players.
I have played somewhere more in the middle where it seems a bit like Adventure League and people brought characters at certain levels together for an afternoon, but all the characters were retired from other games. Thoughts?
