fd-god: The first time this was an epic fail so let's start again:
We should be able to change aout characters up a bit to make the unique. Then you will be able to show them on the map while playing (if they in eg a blacksmith there only should be a little person so that you can still see the shop) and then you can make people walk on to the space where other person is to fight them.

sins-of-a-saint: I like

l-lawliet-l: maybe we just need a small indicator like "*"asteries) for other players so we can identify what monster they are on
