About to start a Shadowrun campaign (ran a couple in the past uner 4th Ed rules) and I want to get away from that whole "Okay, so you all receive a call from a fixer to meet" as a way to get all the characters together.
I like my games to be a bit more character oriented and free flowing, so I'd like to take a more organic approach to getting everyone together. My idea is to all have them working on a different part of the whole plot (for their own reasons) and have it all converge at various points so the characters can meet each other.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has tried this, or if anyone sees any red flags with this approach?
Thanks!
