And when the two groups are in the thick of it, I think they won't notice that they are missing things. When you play D&D campaigns, time passes. The world changes around the players. The idea of playing an RPG is that you are a small piece in a grander world. If every decision falls to you, those decisions lose impact. The concept of two groups I think creates two things: a larger community to share the burden of decisions is the first. Instead of being relegated to four minds, you can argue passionately with 8. And for every mistake YOU make, someone is out there making one of their own. You might find more excitement in a world where you can solve the problems of not just Gotham, but another group. I will say this. Since I came up with the two party system, I am already scripting some new scenarios and concepts. I'm kind of doubling the content. So actually, you won't miss content. You're just getting different content. And the stories and beats one group gets will be different than the other at times. If you really want to be a part of both groups, I guess theoretically you could too! Maybe I'm getting too into this idea, but if other people agree, simply switching Han is not going to be killer to your enjoyment. Is it artificial? A little. I would cut the merged session and flip his group, and I don't think it will take more than one session for the groups to adjust. But if we go with the shared idea, you'll have a greater world to play with. You'll have opportunity to share with the other group between sessions and build in the foundation of what happens in Gotham. The chemistry and dynamics of the group's might even come at odds, and that could create a really exciting piece that propels the story outside of the sessions and creates something utterly real for both groups. At least that's my argument for shared. The argument for separate is simpler: it's easier, and you won't notice the flip. --- "It is too easy being monsters.
