Potential Game Change
I'm also toying with the idea of breaking everyone off into solo campaigns so that you can all move at your own pace. You'll have no interaction with other players, only with me. If we do this, you'll also have the option of having the support of a single NPC that I will control. Having an NPC makes things a bit safer, but it also absorbs some of your XP.
I would need buy-in from most of the players to do this, so this thread is for you to ask questions, and to vote yes or no on moving to solo play.
Right now the groups are about to combine into a single force and taking down the first mini-boss of the campaign, so if we do break out into solo it will be after this dungeon is completed.
