That's what I do in my groups....
1) flip up 1 random char card
1a) if it's the King, flip up another char card, and shuffle King back in
2) randomly select one char to be face down. There's nothing saying that the face down char can't be the King.
The rules say:
'First draw one random card from the Character Deck and set it facedown in the center of the table... Then draw a second set of cards from the Character Deck and set them faceup in the middle... If you draw the "King" character to be faceup, immediately replace it with another random card....'
(N. B. No. of face up cards can be 0-2 depending on no. of players, I normally play with 5 people, hence my references to 1 face up card.)
So you are playing a house rule by reversing the order of these instructions. One I would prefer to play but can't persuade the rest of my group.
