New Player Mid-Campaign Briefing

Someone new is joining mid-campaign and you need to introduce their character without grinding the table to a halt for exposition. This writes a one-page session plan that brings the newcomer in through action, keeps the existing party busy with something that matters, and ties the new arc into the campaign tone. For GMs handling a mid-run addition.

A new player is joining my campaign mid-run. Their character concept is {NEW_CHARACTER_CONCEPT}. The existing party is {EXISTING_PARTY_SUMMARY}. We are currently at {CAMPAIGN_POINT}. The tone of the campaign is {CAMPAIGN_TONE}. Write me a one-page session plan for the next session that introduces the new character through action rather than exposition, gives the existing players something meaningful to do while the introduction lands, and plants one personal hook for the new character that ties into the ongoing plot.
