[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 5312529, member: 9789"] Maybe my own experiences are coloring my opinion but I believe it's far too easy for a PC to get left behind. Switching DMs often (indicative of PbP) only makes this issue worse; I don't think it really helps, since most DMs play pretty close to the vest when giving loots. The parcel system fixes this. And in contrast to the second point, I honestly believe there is an insignificant amount of work to be done to change us over. :) First, it seems like there aren't even CLOSE to 100 people actively playing these days. Second, all this would require is for people to - at some point before the next time a judge was to review their sheets - redo their items. It's on each individual player, but the workload would be completely distributed. Additionally, I don't see any extra work for judges - or DMs, since you don't need to change your sheet before your current game is up. Effectively, all games would play out however the PCs would like, and then only when characters move on to a new DM (or, if they prefer, adventure) would it be a necessary change. Heck, if someone wants to stay with their current DM and never change: that's fine with me. I don't think it would be as devastating or constraining as its being portrayed. [/QUOTE]
