So, in the wake of my last campaign (which was awesome), we've started a new one.

Oh, I hope so. If things go the way I hope they do, I'll be playing the NPC with this party for a couple of years real-time. Last campaign, the characters advanced a tier every year and a bit (the whole game from 1st to 30th level was just under three and a half years). I hope to finally reveal his duplicity either late in the Paragon tier or early in the Epic one, which means at best, he'll have been a member of the party in good standing for over two years.

Unless he is revealed earlier, which I'm prepared for. But ideally, if things go as planned (ha; when does that ever happen?), I hope this will be just as memorable as Morgan. :)
