[QUOTE="Dreaddisease, post: 1437566, member: 3548"] More ideas: 1) The of age children in a remote community are required to take up a symbol of their learning to the circle of stones at the top of this medium sized mountain. Now there is nothing dangerous in the activity so its more of a celebration for the village. Upon returning to the village the PCs are surrounded with death and destruction and a large path leading away from village. and.... begin 2) A bard (maybe a PC) weaves a fascinating tale of far away land and exotic treasure. The PCs are all interested and when one stands up and says we must follow this quest... they eagerly volunteer. 3) The PCs are hired by someone. (Easy beginning) 4) A body falls from the sky happening to land at the feet of all the PCs (who happen to be walking through the market at the same time). The body begins to swelt and disintegrate in front of them and then a chasm opens up to swallow it and it swallows them too. 5) Captured as slaves the PCs are all chained up together on a floating island mining facility and forced to work ( or escape? ) 6) The PCs have been suspended in time as they get sucked into a strange magical item one by one. Unwittingly a wizard releases the spell but the PCs are trapped in another world. 7) The PCs really like each other, so they decide to adventure together. 8) You are sitting around a table and on that table is a ring. 9) Across the plains and into this dusty town a small unit from a goblin army comes into town killing everyone. Who will stand up? (if your character doesn't then start rolling up a new one) Those who stand up are given the assignment to discover this new threat. 10) The young men and women of the land are required to serve in a military unit for a year. The unit you belong to happens to be all the PCs. 11) They all belong to the local thieves guild 12) All good friends, you embark on a mission to take revenge on the death of another friend by the hand of an evil wizard. 13) No one knows why the group came together. It just seemed that you happened to be in the same place at the same time doing the same thing and got used to each other (even though some of you are quite annoyed with the others). 14) All servents, stewards and guards of the local royalty you wake up one morning to find them murdered and are each suspects. You all choose to flee the town/village/city in order to discover the true culprit (you already have suspicions) and exonerate yourselves. [/QUOTE]
