Message: <blockquote data-quote="Immortal Sun" data-source="post: 7584809">Due to some time-traveling shenanigans in one of my games, the party (or the ones that survived the time travel) have been sent back to a time when a different group of characters (played by some of the current table members) existed, actually, slightly before the actual game they were involved in.  As part of this, those of us with existing characters in this time period were given the option to just play those characters.  And frankly, that character is one of my all time favorites.  Played it for years, achieved incredible heights, destroyed incredible things, hell they even ascended to god-hood at the end of the game.But it got me thinking about the story those experiences wrote and the lore that character became part of and here I am about 4 days later and 2 days before the next session thinking: You know, I think that story is done.I do a lot of cooking so that is perhaps my best comparison, sometimes a meal is just done.  You can't add anything to it, you can't un-cook it, and if you keep cooking, keep adding, you're likely to just end up with a burnt, nasty mess.So now I'm back into arguably my favorite part of D&D: creating a new character!  (seriously D&D is the only game I actually enjoy re-rolling in).  So what about ya'll?  Ever been in a spot where you've been given a chance to do more with a character and their story and just decided not to?</blockquote>
