[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7454413"] The issue here isn't characters. It's players, and it's two fold: Do Bobby, Joe and Sue fundamentally [I]want[/I] to get back into questing and adventuring? If the answer is "yes" it doesn't matter how Frank's PC sells the quest to their new characters. Their new characters, like them, are likely going to be interested in taking on the quest. If the answer is "no" you probably have bigger problems. But there's a potential problem: Does Frank want to? If the answer is "yes" then it doesn't matter if he's the sole survivor, he's going to want to get new companions. If the answer is "no" then you either have a potential problem player, depending on the history of Frank's character, OR you're back in a TPK situation, everyone is dead/uninterested in continuing. I have a lot of partial TPKs, one because I run hard fights, and two because I usually have smaller groups. As above, I just try to look for players who [I]want to quest[/I], and try to avoid "lone wolf" types. [/QUOTE]
