I considered tossing in a jail cell but nah.

You All Meet In A...

Originally this was going to be a Magic Knight Rayearthesque meme - you know, princess begging for aid, dramatic flash of light, bam, new world - but then I'm like eh. Eh! I can broaden things.

So basically you're a band (and by band I mean two people since can you imagine a three person thread of random Bakerstreet meme-goers?...feel free to prove me wrong, please) of adventurers who are about to set forth on adventure! But first things first. Meeting your new traveling companions.

  • Post.

  • Reply to other people. You have just met them and are poised to embark upon a totally badass adventure.

  • How did you meet? There's the traditional tavern option, but frankly speaking if you want drinks there's a better option with less stabbity and probably bar fights out there.

    But still. If we're going to go with the less obvious, then...

    1. Your characters responded to an ad requesting people with certain skills, skills that your characters happen to have. Most traditionally some kind of scientific expedition, but guards or an escort of some kind could be plausible.

    2. Your characters wake up in a strange place with no memory of who they are or how they got there, but they remember each other. Added bonus if they have some eerie dream implying that they were chosen by some strange power to do great things.

    3. Your characters ended up being brought to a strange land by a strange power and basically this is the jamjar option in that they know they cannot return until they slay the evil and restore harmony.

    4. Your characters are passengers aboard some sort of mundane vehicle that happened to get hit by some sort of disaster - hijackers or an explosion or some sort of natural causes - that wackily brings your characters together to escape and then move onward.

    5. Your characters are marked by something - a higher power or perhaps just a cult - and they happen to notice the other's branding when they're getting mochas at Starbucks or something and realize...oh. Oh. They're on the same side. (There's also the option to twist this one around, like the other person is a spy or whatever. Actually, I guess you can twist most of these around, can't you?)

    6. Your characters vaguely know each other but then realize that they really should get together and talk about shit after a group of people known as mutual friends/acquaintances/people both characters know and have an interest in start dying, one by one.

    X. Your characters say fuck the numbers they do what they want and give no fucks.


  • And if you're really hard up for something for your characters to be seeking, whack this or this a few times until you get something functional.

  • And please save the world, legendary Magic Knights...!
