Players as "crews" rather than individuals: How do you handle them?
For example, if you were running a 4 player game and the context was "We are tankers", would you prefer the one person controls a gestalt "character" representing an entire tank crew, or all the players manning different stations? Or some other way?
I've done neither, but I'd give both a fair shot. I put up a bit more here.
(Don't worry, it's a short one)
The downside to one player per tank is potential lack of characterization. One tank occupied by all the players potentially restricts their freedoms too much.
