[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5888627, member: 19675"] I've been in the same boat. Then I came up with having only 2 of the PCs in the bar to start. They do not know each other. Then a bar fight breaks out, and after a few rounds of fighting, the PCs end up back to back. With teamwork of necessity, they get to a side door just as the Watch bursts in from the front. Thus, as folks scatter and the Watch pursues, the 2 PCs encounter PC #3 in a situation that has him/her in a position of needing help. They help #3, but hear the approaching melee & Watch, and decide they can't hang out where they are too long. They hoof it, and shortly thereafter, encounter #4... Et cetera. I've been doing various versions of this for a few years now- the PCs are trying to join a Caravan or troupe of entertainers; they are refugees from a conflict- anything involving people being thrown together at random. Hell, given today's popular fiction, perhaps they all meet in a bar because they are trying to escape a zombie outbreak, and all thought of the pub as a safe, defendable location, a la [I]Shaun of the Dead.[/I] [/QUOTE]
