Re: Cameo appearances at your gaming table.
I've used them from time to time. Usually in small roles, plus one running joke (it is well established that the first time the players ask for the name of a probably-recurring NPC and I don't have one prepared, I'ma gonna call him Josh.)
Generally, it's well-received as long as I don't make them literally the same character. I mention a name, and players have a rough archetype to instantly slot into place, and everyone's pretty happy. (Also generally, I don't do it with characters who were big deals in earlier campaigns; it's just the minor NPCs who hop around.)
