[QUOTE="aco175, post: 7535842, member: 27385"] Tried it in the past and it worked for a while. The problems involved using the same PCs and some DMs not having anything prepared or giving away too much treasure and magic. We tried to have a base town and go on missions to tombs and such in a length of 3-4 weeks of play. The group had some wonky adventures for the 5-6 levels we played since each DM had different styles and used different monsters. It was hard to carry a common thread into a story. We also tried to have a game where we had a rotating group of PCs in a game more like an adventurers guild where each player could pick from a few PCs they made. If a DM wanted to go into the sewers- I could play my thief. If another DM had a tomb raid- I wanted my mage. Each player had 3 PCs. The problem was that one PC was a favorite and gained the most levels and the other eventually fell off. The player who wanted to play with the 4th level PC caused the others not to want to play with their 2nd level PC in order to keep up. [/QUOTE]
