[QUOTE="John Quixote, post: 5454392, member: 694"] Okay, first of all, let me clarify something. The "player buy-in" conversation would ordinarily be a given, except that my circumstances don't really require it. I don't game with a small circle of gamer friends these days, I just run whatever I feel like running at my FLGS. There happens to be a chronic shortage of DMs and a similar overabundance of players there, so filling a table with decent players who want to play whatever I'm willing to run is no difficult task. This [I]does[/I] help. I quite like the idea of putting them together on a mass/public transport ship of some kind, and having it be attacked by pirates. Naturally, the pirates are trying to steal something from the most mysterious NPC passenger aboard, who could also be an alien or whatever with an artifact or quest all ready to go. Being the lone survivors of a disaster is indeed a good excuse to bring the player characters together and launch and adventure. Ah, the [I]Outlaw Star[/I] method. Everybody wants the XGP... ;) [/QUOTE]
