This isn't all on the referee either, I typically ask players to look for ways they can better bond too.A few things I have seen:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The party is all responding to the same ad for help, and they are all hired to accomplish the task at hand</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The party all knows each other previously and are acquaintances, and the adventure is such that they might seek each other out for help (Call of Cthulhu is a good one for this).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Guards for a caravan or simply traveling with the caravan when it is attacked.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">NPC stumbles into the inn and falls dead with 3 poisoned arrows in their back.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Party is all at the market when an event of some sort breaks out.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The party are all family/clan members who need to band together to deal with a common trouble.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The party is all on a rowboat or island having survived a shipwreck.</li> </ul></blockquote>
