And adventurers always have cash, right?).Or how about -The party start the campaign dead - they died during some large-scale event. A powerful cleric is trying to use true-ressurection to bring back a legendary hero who died in the same cataclysm as the characters, but since the name of the hero has passed from the worlds knowledge, he just has to try ressurrecting everyone who died on that day in that place...Or -Each of the characters is an acquaintance of someone who got impregnated by a dragon (we all know how randy dragons are...). A powerful enemy of the dragon is collecting all the offspring for some ritual, and the dragon comes calling, wanting to know what's going on. Each of the characters will have lost someone from their lives to the dragon's enemy, so will have a reason to try to help track them down...</blockquote>
