You probably already have this part figured out, but I thought I would post my suggestion just in case about having the player come through the portal with friends. You could start with them, and if you dropped them from the party they would have be scripted into the story as if they were persuing getting home too. I.E. instead of staying where you left them they would go off to try to get home, and you would run into them now and then, like in a market somewhere, or confronting some powerful enemy just before you got there, or locked in some dungeon, and when you meet them you would have the chance to join up with them again. If you didnt, they would continue persuing a way home, and maybe show up again. You see what I am saying? Give them personality and lives of their own. One might even turn up on the other side of the conflict, fighting you, or deciding to stay in this other world as the mayor of a city, or as a legendary "mage" who made magical things called "guns". Just thought this was a cool idea, and have always wanted to see it in a game, namely the idea that....the world does not revolve around you, people do things when they are not in your party. Hope this is helpful
