I like to use big festivals or similar that they all have intersecting reasons for attending. In my current game they are all heading to the Noniad Games, a once-every-nine-years festival and competitions of athletic, magical, artistic, and combat, skill that draws people from the entire region the size of California to the great city of Parth, of the Nine River Gates and Nine Dragon Princes. Sometimes i will ask during character creation, "You are meeting up after a year (or 3 years, or 5, whatever depending on the concepts) apart, havinf agreed to meet here on this day. Why did you agree to meet up? What were you doing?" Basically the Dragonlance Chronicles setup.  From experience...not really. I am running a game with an aasimar grave cleric who fights with a shovel, a semi felinoid (not a catgirl but feline eyes and some behaviors) gnome/elf girl scribe/assassin (ranger), a troll (orc reflavored to t the trolls of my world) monk, and a human thief with a construct arm, and the gnome girl's tressym-with a falcon head and wings but no front arms. I have hit them with Wonder several times already, 3 sessions in. A forest dragon with great antlers and scales like river stones half covered in moss and fern-like protrusions, carrying strange tiny fey creatures on its back, is plenty weirder than any dnd party. So is a night sky where you can see the World Tree as your planet orbits it, and catch glimpes of the great ring of Jottuneim and beyond it the slow immense undulating circling of Jormangandr beyond that.</blockquote>
