For longer story arcs I usually ask my players to prepare a backup character each. This backup has a defined connection to other characters of the group and this way has some sort of reason to join the party.How this change is handled depends on the situation. A near-TPK somewhere deep in the dungeon could mean closing both eyes and just define the replacements as being there without giving much thought to some weird reason for this to happen. If it happens closer to the surface, I tend to cut to the next scene where the survivor(s) plan their next outing with the newcomers.For old school-style campaigns where a new character starts at level 1 regardless of the survivors' levels, I expect more work from the players. The survivor(s) have to get out on their own and at least return to civilization in order to find new party members.</blockquote>
