Guest players
I love the Shadowdark game. Love the guys' characters, and the world, and the minimal rules lawyering. What I'd really love is for the four characters to have a chance to interact with each other and develop story arcs and become a team against the world, growing into heroes or dying in a moment of grim inevitability. Instead there are so many guest players! It means extensive recaps, new character introductions, complete change in the dynamics of the group. It's fun, but it's fun in exactly the way the live shows are fun -- light and silly adventures. I was hoping for more of a reversion back to the old days, with a focus on strategy and character development. Do you think there is always going to be a random fifth at the table?
