DM Tips: Bringing New Characters into an Ongoing Story


3.5/d20/OGL

Silver Crusade

A player has gotten themselves killed, or you did it, or they just got bored and let their character wander off. Now they want to play someone new. How do you bring this new character in to an already ongoing story? It isn't as hard as you might think!

In this video you'll find three main avenues to go down in order to bring a new character into the group:

1. Connecting the new character to the old
2. Connecting the new character to the overall quest
3. Connecting the new character by random chance and circumstance

If this is something you struggle with please take a look!

As always please feel free to expand on what I offer here by leaving a comment or video response with your own tips or suggestions.
