I had thought of adding the 'player gets to play an NPC or monster' approach but forgot to include it.<br /><br />Another line I wanted to put in but forgot to sums up my thinking on the subject pretty well...<br /><br />"If 6 people show up to sit at your gaming table for 4-8 hours, then for 4-8 hours, if at all possible, 6 people should be playing."Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-75830300541396794152011-04-11T11:30:36.849-04:002011-04-11T11:30:36.849-04:00Another option I've heard of for your Scenario...Another option I've heard of for your Scenario 1 is the "zombie": A minor NPC or monster for the player to play while his main is out of the action.F.
