[QUOTE="delericho, post: 7430880, member: 22424"] Normally after a TPK I'll take the opportunity to go and do something radically different. The one time when I've tried to continue a campaign with new PCs just never really worked. However, since you do wish to continue, I would be inclined to offer three possibilities: One is just to bring in new PCs and put them in a different bit of the sandbox. You might want to hook them into the old group somehow - maybe this is the rescue party? Alternately, there's a lot of value in [MENTION=205]TwoSix[/MENTION]'s suggestion of having one of the old PCs get stuck, and thus serve to bring the new group up to speed. Or you could just rule that the whole existing party got stuck, have them come back, and pick right up where you left off. Of course, you'll want there to be some significant consequence of this event. I'm sure you'll come up with something suitably evil... :) [/QUOTE]
