D&D (2024) Eve of Ruin: New or Old PCs?

[Reynard]

Vecna: Eve of Ruin promises to be sort of the swan song for the first decade of 5E adventures, tying into those that have been published by way of the mysterious Obelisks as well as the worlds in which it will take place.

My question for this poll is pretty simple: where will your PCs come from to play this adventure?

Are you planning on using existing PCs that have recently completed one of the previous adventures?

Are you planning on using existing PCs that completed one of the adventures, but have been mothballed or retired for a while?

Are you planning on using existing PCs that have not been used in a previous adventure?

Are you planning on creating totally new PCs for Eve of Ruin?

Note that for the purposes of this poll "an official 5E adventure" can include AL storyline play, too.

Of course, please expound on your answer in the comments.

You forgot "Planning to start new PCs with an existing adventure and then carry them forward into V:EoD once the first adventure is complete."

Not playing 5E currently, so brand new characters once the adventure is out.

That's included in the first option.

Ah, ok. It's a bit unclear, as "recently" makes it sound like the PCs have just completed the first adventure, when the PCs my group will be playing have yet to be created, and the adventure even agreed upon yet!

I did actually consider whether to include a specific option but it seemed too granular.

Running shattered Obelisk at the moment. Eve of ruin should be a nice way to continue if my group wants to keep developing their current characters

I do not plan on playing or running it. It looks like it is too fantastic for my games with the world hopping and the high-level play. I was under the idea that it was the initial kick off book/campaign to the new edition and should be looked at that way. If I was Wizards coming out with a 'new' edition that is.

Depends on what we're doing and what my players want to do. And at this point, I don't know the answer to either question.

Where'd you get that impression?
