Here's a trick I saw on a let's play a while back: have the players whose characters are not in the scene play NPCs.
How does it work? Do you have written briefing for every NPC? What about PC having secrets and agenda? I used NPC for guest players (You have to escorts an annoying merchant/prince•ss but they'llbe played by Billy•ie)
