[QUOTE="Max Rebo, post: 2968080, member: 23804"] I started my campaign knowing full well that no one would make it to 20th level on their first character. What I did was establish an "adventurer's guild" in town that had already sent several groups into the dungeon before the current group. All of their back up characters have been people that got lost from their group and who the PC's knew from the guild. This was great for several reasons. It made the dungeon seem dangerous since no one had yet to return. It gave me a reason to throw down dead adventurers (with magic items still on most of em) that the PC's would stumble upon whenever they needed healing potions or a weird magic item. It gave me some jerk rival NPC bad guys that show up to annoy the group. My idea about starting over in a different region wasn't with their same characters who had just died in Region N, but with different ones from one of these other "lost" groups. Sorry for the confusion. Actually its kind of energized the group again since they can all switch roles The party's rogue now gets to be the paladin, etc., etc. I like the idea of them having just come up through Region F and not knowing where they are at. They will realize it when they see the great red dragon in the ice cube who they have seen from the other side a couple game's back. Nobody ever tried this? Just curious is all... [/QUOTE]
