[QUOTE="ElterAgo, post: 7638054, member: 6972046"] Hmm... When we rotate DM's it is the same PC's. Whoever is DM at that point just has his PC off doing something else or down with an illness. We aren't tracking XP, just leveling up every few sessions of game time or when needed for the next written adventure.
