06-23-06, 12:18 PM I may be showing my noobie-ness here, but I’d like to know if my players can be running characters concurrently. You see, I’d like to run my players through both their regional adventures and through the Bright Lands campaign using options available with that core campaign.

So, are two characters in the same Living game run by the same player legal, considering the characters are not in the same region?

You keep each of them completely separate, with individual stacks of ARs and so on.

Of course there's also nothing to stop your players using the characters they create for the Blight on Bright Sands campaign playing regional and metaregional adventures, or non Bright-Sands core modules. In fact, doing so might help them as they work through the Bright Sands campaign as they'll have more experience and access to more useful kit than if they only play Bright Sands adventures. Just remember that they pay 2 TUs per round when playing anything except actual Bright Sands modules, and 1 TU per round when playing Bright Sands ones (despite what the number printed on the AR might say!)

So if you play "Amazing Adventure" with one character, you cannot play it again, even with another one of your characters.

I'd actually thought about letting the same characters play the other games, but am a little reticent. Maybe I'll let them do it, to give their PCs the extra levels and equipment.

Thanks again!
