Never Split the Party
Words of sage advice.
Of course, there’s always someone, some time, who feels they know better. Some players are inclined to split up at the drop of a hat. I offered a little bit of advice for handling that situation in the article I linked, but what more can you do?
Personally, I let my players know, before the game begins, that I have no compunctions about allowing players who split from their parties to die. Ordinarily, I don’t allow random chance to kill a character outright; I’ll fudge things far enough to give the character in question a chance. I do, however, allow a character’s own stupidity to kill him outright. I consider splitting up an act of stupidity most of the time. It’s dangerous out there!
Perhaps an amusing cautionary tale would help, too.
(Okay, so that was all to share a cute video and ease back into blogging. Sue me.)
