I had fun in a 3.5 campaign, running two Half-orcs - Melikon, and Lawful Evil Shadow Mage, and Shard, a Lawful Neutral Brawler. They were brothers, and both classes were from third party D20 books.

My character doesn't make any of the group decisions, I'm just some added muscle for the fights really and add some flavor/humor during the role playing sections by doing non-consequential antics. I roll all my characters dice in front of everyone else so everything is out in the open. Growing up I played DND with my older brother and his best friend quite a bit, his friend was the DM and ran a character way back then so we'd have a 3 character group and thus more skill positions filled. Worked out well since his character could hint at the direction we needed to go on any time we got too far off track or missed a clue or something. This is my first serious attempt at being a DM and it seems to be working out pretty well for us.

Cool. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever try to DM.

Years ago I used to play a comic relief character who was actually the "Assistant GM." So I'd hint possibilites to newbies they hadn't thought of, while not being threatening in any way. This seemed to work well as a teaching method to bring others up to speed. I won a "Most helpful To Dungeon Master" prize at an early convention many moons ago, doing that kind of thing.

I'm going to be starting a Mazes & Minotaurs campaign with only 3 players on Saturday. I'm going to give each of them a servant to their hero so they'll have 6 characters to play with.

We have been playing Res Arcana for the last few days at work. Great game and can't wait for the expansion. Busting out Techno Bowl with McFadden 20 rules today.

Love Res Arcana. It’s an excellent game. Do you play with the drafting variant or do you just deal out a hand for each player?

Definitely draft. Then the blame is squarely on you instead of the cards you were dealt. We should play 3-4 player next time you come to the store as a starter/filler game.

Can't wait to start Tainted Grail this weekend and possibly Trickerion with Dahlgaard's Academy and the Dawn of Technology expansions. Although really want to play Trismegistus again too. Tough choices.
