I'm primarily a DM and others are DMing only for short periods.The longest I've DMed for a single PC is probably in the neighborhood of one year or not more than than thirty sessions.Frankly, the idea of playing one character for years on end creeps me out. I'm a storyteller. I have no more interest in any specific character than does an actor in their character. Shuffling through characters exposes me to different perspectives and helps me learn. I have way too many character ideas to play any one for long. Being overly attached to one character seems like it could be creatively stagnating, and like it might the result of someone being excessively immersed in the game. I can also imagine it being a deep and rewarding experience if handled well, but I have no desire to play that way.</blockquote>
