I'm stuck.And it's the simplest thing to pull off.

>How do I hook them up IG?
One thing I've done in the past is to require players to come up with the reason why their characters would join and cooperate with the party. It's a bit easier that way, because they can shape and tweak their characters and backgrounds to make things work. It also means that you don't have players fighting you on stuff, and you don't end up with loners who have no interests in cooperating--at least not if they do their job right.

But if you don't want to do that, just make it clear to your players that it's their cooperate as best they can and find excuses to work together and act in a way that's conducive to a successful adventure. Then simply give them a common goal. They're all trying to rescue the princess, though maybe for different reasons. They all have different leads on a burial vault full of treasure (one has done research, another has heard a rumor, and the last has a treasure map). They all have a common enemy they need to eliminate, or a common friend they need to help. Etc. And after they've worked together, well, it's kind of up to the players to continue the arrangement. You continue to present them with adventuring opportunities, and they need to decide they like each others' company enough--or at least find it mutually beneficial enough--to stick together.

Of course, you could also just have the new rogue know the old rogue. They've worked together before--maybe they're even old friends--and one of them pulls the other in on a mission or something.

Holy hell, you did not call me retarded. I'm quite flabbergasted.

And some great advice there. Appreciated.

Not everybody here is always an asshole.

Anyway, Spirit of the Century had an interesting way of tying PCs together though past adventures (pic related), though something like that might not work as well if you're playing with 1st level characters who aren't yet exceptional and therefore aren't likely to have previously had wondrous adventures.
