Then I forgot.
Anyways, I'll talk about the role of NPC party members. I am going to be facing a few character swap in and outs because of schedule conflicts and such so I'm not sure how to face the situation. Possible options are to just *blip* the characters out... or to start playing for them. The thing with this is I fear that it will seem I just am trying to play my own game. Perhaps a hybrid will be best with those characters becoming a "deus ex machina" tactic. When things are getting bad, they can make the "sudden and brilliant" counter move to win a battle, or beat someone at a logic game.
What are your thoughts on doing this? Is a party NPC just the GM trying to have a character too? or are they a good thing just in case the worst possible things happen? Let me know what you think!
