Well, I think maybe it would have been easier to just go "okay guys, figure out how you know each other." it might come out a bit sparse, but 90% of 'getting to know you" is bound to happen in-character<em>anyway</em>. Over in my Mummy's mask game, we have an inquisitor and her bodyguard, who teamed up with a pair of Sarenrae undead-killing fanatics, and then they desiced to hire on someone expendible to poke trapped things.<br/><br/>I mean.. .someone<em>completely essential</em>to apprise potential loot! yes, that's what I meant  >:)<br/><br/>Heck, there's even a quick-and-dirty way of doing it - rolling on a table to determine your characters' relationship to the person to your left. Are you a drinking buddy/ A long-lost sibling? Bound by a magical geasa? Do you just enjoy walking behind them?
