[QUOTE="CreamCloud0, post: 8729886, member: 7034710"] First: like has already been said raising the idea of a new player by your current players is only good manners, ‘hey i met someone who’s interested in seeing if they can join our group, is that fine with you guys?’ Second: how much baggage are they bringing with them from their previous session, this comes in two forms: equipment and history, you said their sheet looked fine so presumably they’re not dripping with magic items or gold and therefore equipment is fine but history, take another minute to see if they’re bringing anything that doesn’t align with your gameworld ‘[I]your parents were killed by tieflings and you forever renounce them and feinds because of it? But my campaign doesn’t even have tieflings or the outer planes’ [/I]or referencing hyper-specific people or places from the previous campaign that don’t exist in yours or otherwise untranslatable narrative boons ‘i am a recognised knight of the realm who everyone knows’ Otherwise I don’t see why not it couldn’t be done Edit: would you not just be introducing them like you would any other replacement pc, For a player who’s character died and just rolled up a new one? The only difference is that 1)there was an interim period before they were replaced, 2)a different player is filling the party slot and 3)the new character might have slightly more history to them than your average fresh out of character creation addition.
