[QUOTE="akr71, post: 7536135, member: 6801213"] Me too, which made me concerned. I occasionally suffer from vertigo and generally don't deal very will with dizziness. More seriously, my game group has a rotating DM chair - sort of. It is mostly me, but another of our players has DM'd for a few sessions and likely will again in the near future. My wife has also DM'd a one-shot for this group, and would like to do something a little longer next time. Planning and communication. The outgoing and incoming DM need to share a bit of info on the end point and start point so that the flow doesn't seem too disjointed. If it is a casual group and you just want to hand-wave it, then that works too. We've had a couple casual discussions about Dungeon of the Mad Mage since each level of the dungeon is supposed to be fairly self contained. It gives us a city as a base of operations and lots of dungeon to play with. The honor system is pretty key for this to work - NO PEEKING at what you are not running. Since we are all mature adults, I don't anticipate this to be a problem. For example: DM A: "My thing has us on a boat heading north." DM B: "Cool, I'll see if I can get you somewhere closer to the coast before you take over." We also try to find convenient reasons why the DM's character is unavailable. [/QUOTE]
