I think you are right to make them generate new characters if they return.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648499022366444265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038823840472916624.post-45686464434936641542012-09-21T11:36:07.480-04:002012-09-21T11:36:07.480-04:00It seems like there's more uncertainty about h...It seems like there's more uncertainty about how to deal fairly with the overpowered PCs than how to behave around kids per se.
