We didn't have to retcon, as I was lucky enough to be able to end the previous session right after the character snuck off. | |

| Mar 31, 2015 at 23:38 | comment | added | Makyen | The solo session can be set in the future instead of the past. That way it can be slotted in to any appropriate rest period at a later game session (player tells DM in-session that this rest is when it is done, and both apply the changes they have keep track of in the character and world that resulted from the one-on-one session. There is no need to retcon, have contrivances like a Good Samaritan healer, or constraints like the character surviving. This allows the entire party to respond to any in-world result (character injury, death; city guard alerted to search for the assassin, etc.). | |
| Mar 31, 2015 at 23:12 | comment | added | Quentin | If you do introduce a Good Samaritan or other such contrivance, then you can introduce an alternative cost such as incurring a debt (the not so Good Samaritan) or replacing a trap that might have killed the character with one that enchanted them with a curse (perhaps one that allows the heir to track them down over time). | |
