Well we have had a couple of people who wanted to join our AD&D campaign way
back in 93. One of them was sort of reasonable except the stats had to be
rerolled, the other character had about 2 A4 pages of magic items and was
5th level, the character's symbol was a swastica and the player's definition
of human was a white person.

Well there was one occaision when a delayed solo adventure should have
resulted in the ruining of a campaign which was 6 months in the future when
one of the pcs died in the solo, we worked around it and set things up so
that we could explain her continued presence, if you took a massive leap of
faith.
