[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6323118, member: 20323"] I'm able to put a finger on something that was eluding me... I've been thinking a lot about the first game session and how the PCs meet/already know each other. We all know the cliches (hired by party X, you all meet in a tavern, you wake up in a dungeo cell with no memory). I was trying to come up with interesting ways to start off a Planescape game that could be included in a published product (rather than a home game where the DM could just work with the players to figure out how they know each other). My answer, similar to your answer Tequila, was to play out the meeting of the party members. Since that would involve potentially both prime and planar characters, then it had to be some trans-planar event. Your answer, Kamikaze Midget, was to gloss over how the PCs know each other (or let each group figure out their own answer) and jump right into getting hired. Bam! You are a group. A Marilith is hiring you. That's all you need to know. [/QUOTE]
