[QUOTE="howandwhy99, post: 3712687, member: 3192"] [i]Tips for getting a group of strangers to gel as a group?[/i] Just think about it like any other social outing. Set up a comfortable area for people to hang out and talk. Maybe another for people to split off or be alone. Have food and drinks. Kick-ass music works wonders. Be sure to lay out a few interesting conversation items. Of course, RPG-related stuff obviously works as they would appeal to everyone. When you get down to business: KISS, keep it simple stupid. Roll up characters fast. Have some pre-gens on hand even. Then run 'em through something for just the night while you talk about what kind of games you like, what kind of play style, group style, their past, etc. Guys tend to loosen up as long as they are working on something together. You could even substitute playing Poker, but as $'s involved, that might lead to a problem. You could also opt to interview everyone separately, but that takes a lot longer. [/QUOTE]
