[QUOTE="jmucchiello, post: 2633072, member: 813"] We've been doing this for quite a while. And our current campaign has a large invasion arch. We plan for each DM to take 4-5 sessions at a time. In light of the invasion storyline, each DM tends to run mini-quest style stories but on occasion we'll have other style adventures. We have no set rules about what is or is not allowed. The DMs will coordinate with one another when borrowing one another's NPCs. But the players find it most interesting when one DM sets something up and the payoff comes from another DM. Our big arch is about 1-2 years from its conclusion and already we are talking about what we'll do next campaign. We've never had a problem with DMPCs. The PC the DM plays in other games is a full member of the party. Between session activities are adjudicated by one of the other DMs whenever that is necessary. As will all things shared, you must trust your fellow DMs not to take advantage of their position or it can't work. Finally, rules variations, we don't have any. The 6 of us are there to have fun and so all rules changes are decided by all 6 players, not just the current DM. While in game the DM's ruling is final, all house rules are decided by the group, not DM fiat. And thus, all 3 DMs run the game using the same rules. [/QUOTE]
