[QUOTE="Mort, post: 7317411, member: 762"] First have a session 0 (as already suggested) where the group can generate characters together and work out how they know each other. . This is basically a get together, live or online depending on how you play where everyone rolls up their characters, establishes their concepts etc. - tends to solve a lot of issues. Next, I usually have my group pick a theme, last 2 were: 1. Employees of Morgrave University (in Eberron) who all knew each other and as such were very easy to coral into adventure. 2. Knights of the Silver Flame - the players were all in service to the Silver Flame and took their early prompting from there. My current campaign we deviated - Had a session 0 where some of the group knew each other some didn't. I started the group In medias res - Set the scene in the Green Dragon Inn (in Greyhawk) and then had them right in the middle of a massive crisis (Iuz was waking and causing massive havoc and destruction as his huge form was mindlessly walking through and destroying large swaths of the city) - the group was thrown together reacting to the situation. The main point is - have the group start together or get them together immediately - this has always worked best for myself and others I have gamed with. [/QUOTE]
