This post to talk about multiple characters scenario.
As I already told in other posts, I'm currently running a highly modified kingmaker campaign. I have 6 player-character – 2 girls/4 guys. We just finished stolen land and the party is now level 4. I always use pre-generated characters after asking what kind of character each player like, or in creating PC+2 or PC+3 characters to let them have a wide array of choice.
Here are the current characters :

With each players I tried to develop and suggest background options and events. The goald is to involve them directly as much as possible in the main plot.
An exemple in my game:
Shine is involved directly in a large prophecy through her blood in our game : her half-daemon father had to breed with mortals to let « sleeping agents » here and there in the material plane. At the end of our first season after the fall of the Stag Lord, she was the only one (but she doesn't know why yet of course) up to open an ancient sanctuary under a large mystic sceal in the basement of the ruined tower in the stag lord's fortress.

At the end of our first season after the fall of the Stag Lord, she was the only one (but she doesn't know why yet of course) up to open an ancient sanctuary under a large mystic sceal in the basement of the ruined tower in the stag lord's fortress.
For the second season, as I'm currently writing it, I was thinking at something a bit different : play for a while different characters in different places that are also involved in one way or another in the same plot.
my ideas for now for upcoming new game season:
In his background, Balty had an event with his cousin Jofifre. In our game at the very beginning the PCs had to flee from Brevoy for many reasons and when the civil war began in Brevoy, the PCs were exploring the green belt. I was imagining maybe that his cousins Jofifre may have stayed in Brevoy and meet other characters... I have a major NPC for my intrigue that stayed also in Brevoy. I was thinking maybe when the first party is currently building their kingdom, the civil war may rage in Brevoy and Jofifre with other new characters may meet my major NPCs and soon flee from Brevoy as well during a dedicated scenario.

I was thinking maybe when the first party is currently building their kingdom, the civil war may rage in Brevoy and Jofifre with other new characters may meet my major NPCs and soon flee from Brevoy as well during a dedicated scenario.
the new characters I have in mind for now (I still have to create 1 or 2 concept more):
Amethyst , a half-elf drow-descended Witch (Bonded Witch) 5
Nirrshah a she-catfolk Monk (Nimble Guardian) 1/Ninja (Cat Burglar) 4
Ingrid, an she-ulfen Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 3/Fighter (Viking) 2
Magnus a dwarf Fighter (Foehammer) 2/Cleric of Torag (Forgemaster) 3
Voronwë an elf Magus (Spelldancer) 5
Hearas a half-elf Ranger (Battle Scout, Skirmisher, Wild Shadow) 3, Fighter (Archer) 2
Jofifre a gnome Bard (Prankster) 5
Amethyst , a half-elf drow-descended Witch (Bonded Witch) 5
Nirrshah a she-catfolk Monk (Nimble Guardian) 1/Ninja (Cat Burglar) 4
Ingrid, an she-ulfen Barbarian (Invulnerable Rager) 3/Fighter (Viking) 2
Magnus a dwarf Fighter (Foehammer) 2/Cleric of Torag (Forgemaster) 3
Voronwë an elf Magus (Spelldancer) 5
Hearas a half-elf Ranger (Battle Scout, Skirmisher, Wild Shadow) 3, Fighter (Archer) 2
Jofifre a gnome Bard (Prankster) 5
I thought that for another scenario or plot, we could use same feature to play flashbacks with parents or great-parents, or maybe play his own heirs in a large kingdom campaign. I really think it is possible to write and play large sagas this way.
Did you already played such kind of changing characters features ? Do you have any comments or advice about my PCs or something else ?
Thx.
I've had many debates with other players and masters about pregens.
The fact is:
- I HATE to spend a complete session just in creating the PCs. I play only 2 sessions in a month so for me it's a complete waste of time to spend one of them just in creating PCs. And online creation is not always possible.
- Except GMs that are too happy to finally be able to be at the other side of the screen and that can understand the needs of a GM to build a great intrigue, there are usually only two types of players I've met: experienced are always minimaxing and optimizing (often even if it's against the plot) and beginners don't know at all how to build a character.
- I'm sick of "you are in a inn" introductions. I like my PCs to be involved in other new original ways. Get hired or "it's the right thing to do" is clearly not enough for me. Somewhere in their sheet or in their background I always try to sow a little seed that always seems to be a small detail for them and later will be a major element in my intrigue.
- Hooks are the best way to "control" and "prevent" their actions cos' I believe the famous "No I won't do that because it's not something my character would do" is actually a GM failure. Depending on alignments it's often the best way to make them do something you want them to do. Lawful Good characters are great for "it's the right thing to do"... But often for True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral characters I have to find something else... Money/Power is really classical and often too weak for Good characters. Relatives are really interesting and allow secondary plots. Survival fits with every kind of characters (it's for me often the only way to create a Chaotic Evil group). Structures/Hierarchy have some freedom impacts but always work (they are in the same army, the same guild, on the same boat, etc...). Personnal Honor code is great for a single PC, what about the others?
I still agree large sagas are accomplished by playing it out. But I really like heroes when their destiny is already written from their childhood.
I got your advice for something: between my 6 PCs there are 3 beginners, 2 average players and 1 game-master. The game-master is playing Balty so I think I would let him create his cousin Jofifre like he wants. he doesn't need me at all for that and I'm sure he would create a great character.
Thx
