On one hand giving everyone a recruitment mission sounds<em>super </em>Mass Effect. (The parts of Mass Effect that everyone liked, even!)<br/><br/>On the other hand I'm not sure how we would accomplish that without either running six-ish different games in parallel until they katamari into one another with fem-Kvothe rolling the ball, or having people sitting around waiting for potentially months until the katamari gets to them (but also updating their character sheets during that time as the group gets levels)?<br/><br/>Hmm, meet somewhere exotic with the whole party and then feature flashbacks, montages or side threads telling the story of how you got there?
