Things that your group does that is unusal

[Jd Smith1]

I'll start: my players prefer to run two PCs each.

Gary Gygax did that in my Castle El Raja Key in very early 1973. Considering the time and pedigree not at all unusual. What's unusual in a Fantasy game? Not much in my view as long as it doesn't get physical; this isn't the SCA.

Thousands of larpers are likely more than willing to demonstrate to you how what they do is not particularly unusual any more.

We banned carnivals, but I don't know if that's unusual - probably lots of groups have done that.

Is that a code for something or are you talking about carnivals as (in game) events?

It's from an in-game event but we (or at least I) apply it to all subsequent campaigns.

Well, so much for this:

Nope. That’s trouble for sure.

That's common here too, particularly at lower levels.

Not sure if this counts as 'unusual' yet but it certainly bucks the current trends: round here hit points are rolled at all levels, i.e. no auto-max at 1st, no rerolls or take-the-average - what you roll (plus Con bonus if any) is what you get.

Not necessarily two PC's...

But Players can have several henchmen and hirelings. Henchmen work a lot like PC's and many times will be the PC replacement if a PC gets killed.

That's an idea that Gygax also worked with at times and was inferred as a major way to play early on.
