Hi!
Decided to make a new thread instead of using the existing ones. I am GMing Heart of Darkness on Saturday and one player had to drop out, leaving the amount of PC's to three. This is a bit tricky number, because there are so many great characters to play and I was thinking on how to solve the problem. I had an idea two form two groups that do different tasks. Both played by the same PCs.
Ejiri would be an NPC at start, staying behind in Cetorinha to help Gray and organize everything.
There would be two groups as follows
GROUP 1:
Sajaad - Drabikowski - Lugar
GROUP 2:
Hedenström - Lark - Navarre
Each player would play a character from the same slot (e.g. Sajaad and Hedenström). Of course the issue would be that the players would see more than one agenda simultaneously. Is this a bad thing? Is see that there is a risk of running out of characters if they die. On the bright side, almost all of the agendas could be seen this way. Otherwise, I was thinking of using Lugar, Drabikowski and Sajaad/Hedenström at start. What's your take on this?
