I want to pirate an old DM's idea of how to get a group together at the start of a campaign...
He basically started it out with very quick encounters for each individual PC - something difficult and dangerous, but obviously can't be too overwhelming for a 1st level PC. (the old DM called it his "James Bond" opening) It does not have to be actual fighting, but it should be an interesting encounter with possible combat - one PC ended up facing off with a bandit who had his dagger to the throat of a young woman...
Unfortunately, I'm drawing a blank on some good quick solo encounters for 1st level PCs - most likely, they will be straight from the PHB, so nothing too exotic.
Any ideas, or sources of ideas?
Thanks
