Does playing a dupe count as playing a character?
LDC: "After you play a Targ character, return an attachment..."
Duplicates have no "text, title, traits, or crests" but does "playing a duplicate" mean the card enters play as a duplicate, or the card enters play as a character and then become a duplicate - basically, can I cycle a Flame-Kissed (until I run out of gold and influence) by playing dupes?
Playing a Duplicate

No. When you play duplicate, you play duplicate, not character.
And that is specifically defined in the Rules book this way:
"A card attached in this way is thus only considered to be a “duplicate card”
while it is actually in play and attached to a version of itself."
They are not attachements and not characters.

Yes, but it is not an answer to Skowza's question.
BTW Nate's words: When you play a duplicate, you are only considered to be playing a "duplicate card," not the card itself. You are also not marshalling or playing the card, you are "attaching it from your hand" to the unique card it duplicates.
So combo with cards like Lady Daenerys's Chambers (requires "playing a card") would never work.
Yea, I kind of figured that was the correct answer since there is way too much potential for abusive combos when playing dupes if they counted as an attachment, character, etc rather than just a duplicate.
