So I am the DM of a long time campaign between myself and a few good friends. This game has been going on for almost 2 1/2 years now, and while we are nearing the end, I don't see it actually happening for some time. Recently a good friend of mine asked if he could join via Skype, and we all agreed without hesitation.
The problem comes in when I began learning about his character concept. Mechanically it's fine (something where he uses dual-whips and burns stuff..), but from a personality perspective I don't think he would mesh well with the current group makeup. I just don't see how his interests and the current parties could align enough to make sense.
We are all friends so I see no problems OOC. So how much would you regulate a PCs character? Typically I don't, but I'm wondering what the community's thoughts are on the issue.
