[QUOTE="Blue, post: 8481379, member: 20564"] Well, I had two players who are moving out of state to their first home leave my campaign, and last week we had a Session 0 to introduce two new players to the world we've been playing in for the last year and a half, bring them up to speed on the story so far, and brainstorm characters. I'm now waiting on the results of that so I can start to plan character arcs. One of the lessons I learned last campaign when adding players in was that I would introduce their character arcs at the same rate of everyone else - but everyone was already deeper into their arcs, so we didn't really spend as much focus on them. This time I want to hit the ground running with arcs for them that are already somewhat blossomed and active. But I need to get their characters and background to start brainstorming that. Plus this came mid-scenario, as they realized that the holidays were just too busy so instead of staying until the new year. So what the party is about to do, which is mid-action, needs to have a way to introduce the two new characters into it. Well, one of them - the other one will enter the same way the two characters will exit. You see, one of the characters is a chronomancer. So I'm going to have a gash in space open, a visibly older version of him say "Damn causality, I need you", grab the two, and go to close the gash only to have resistance. Say "I need to balance the equation" and a dwarf gets pushed out. The fun bit is that dwarves were genocided 650 years ago in the campaign. One of the new players will be playing a dwarf from before that happened. [/QUOTE]
