Would a round robin backstory be a good way to connect a group of adventurers? /u/tomtinytum DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Would a round robin backstory be a good way to connect a group of adventurers? /u/tomtinytum DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Ok so a DM has a campaign planned out that requires the PC’s know each other. Rather then leave it to the DM to decide how to connect the players, could you have the players write a single backstory for the whole party.

You could have the party roll off to decide the order they write in and have each player introduce the character they want, then describe how they would help the previous characters get out of the situation they find themselves in, until everyone is introduced and then the DM writes the last paragraph to explain how the initial meeting of the group lead to them getting the first job of the campaign.

I want to ask my DM if next session can be cancelled but I don’t want to ruin it for everyone else /u/Rango12117 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

I want to ask my DM if next session can be cancelled but I don’t want to ruin it for everyone else /u/Rango12117 DnD: Roll for Initiative!

At my table, we have a common rule that if 1 person (out of the 5 players) are missing, we keep playing the session. Any more and we cancel. Our next session is Dec 21 while I leave on the 20th until the 30th.

I won’t even be in my home contient as I’m on vacation with my family for the firs ttime in a very long time.

Now I should mention that the reason I wanna ask for a cancel is because the current “arc” we are on has a decent amount to do with my character. It isn’t the full focus, but its like 50% another PC, 30% me, the rest everything else.

I should mention that this is because this is my backup character. My first character died in combat in the second “arc” and we really never went into his backstory (as everyone seemed really uninterested about it and there was not much to go off of (think Zuko from ATLA. Almost a Copy and Paste, just instead of fire, it was an underwater Shark)).

I’ve spoken to our DM as if I wasn’t going to ask to cancel and I’ve been told that my character might be “driven” by our DM and fellow PCs for checks and combat (as my character, a paladin, is the only person with strength and charisma above 14). I’m really worried about this as well as the area we are in right now is the homebrew version of the 9 Hells.

Each session we’ve played here, we’ve had INSANE combats, no rests, and a lot of checks.

I’m worried I’m going to wake up on vacation with my family saying “yo, ur PC died” or we’re going to finish the arc and kill the dude my character (Vengenace Oath) has been hunting down

I’ve also spoken with another PC, a close friend of mine, who thinks I’m overreacting and being a little crazy for wanting to cancel and what not. I’m worried I’m being selfish and rude, but at the same time, I want to keep my character.

Another rule we have is our DMs will “pokeball” missing PCs but this can’t happen this time as we’re in Hell, so there isn’t a valid excuse, and, as mentioned above, there are checks only my character might have a chance of passing.

What would y’all do and how would y’all do it?

Nadia is my first Artificer l’ve ever been able to play. I’ve made many but this is the first one I got to actually play in game. She is an Armorer and I am so satisfied with the class, and subclass. It feels So COOL to just switch your entire kit between rests. Our first quest in the West Marches game we’re playing was a treasure hunt. I brought my Bag of Holding Infusion and took SO MUCH it was awesome. Then I rested and changed all of my prepared spells and had a totally different set of spells. The fact that Artificers are ritual casters is so cool, such an awesome class.
