Maybe they were independently involved in an aspect of the same quest as the other PCs. Maybe they have been trying to catch up with the PCs for days with an important piece of news. Maybe they are lost or prisoners in the place the PCs are exploring or active. I even had a new PC be the victim of a trap in the dungeon that turned them to stone centuries earlier and the other PCs inadvertently release the new character on disabling the trap. I find that there is usually a reasonably quick way to get the new PC into play, even if it is a bit messy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
