[QUOTE="Pagan priest, post: 652034, member: 7650"] My character is MY character. If I leave a campaign, the DM is free to mention my character's name, tell his history, and in general refer to my character. The DM has no right to actually play my character. In fact, I do not allow any one to play a character of mine at any time. If I am late or miss a session, my character takes no part in any events that occure during my absence. I do not feel this way about all of my characters, there have been times that I would happily allow a character to exist as an NPC, but these are rare cases. By way of example, a high level paladin, son of a Demi-God, grandson of a greater Goddess, and ruler of a city. He may still be in use as an NPC in two different campaigns, with my blessing. That role was assumed when I brought him into the campaigns. In general, hands off. Some folks don't care one way or the other. Some can be happy to think that their characters will continue on. Fine, that's your choice. ***** As far as RPGing as art... I never thought of it like that before, but yes it does make sense. Most games are to art as a high school garage band is to music, but some do achieve that lofty position. [/QUOTE]
