The good ol' fashioned "You all meet in a tavern, answering a poster offering gold for help..."? The action-scene, "You're all engaged in mutual mundane task, when suddenly a band of thugs/goblins/whatever bust in looking for the plot coupon and chaos breaks out"? The "Elder Scrolls classic" - all being prisoners thrown in together? Tie it in to a character's backstory and let them lead the other party members in?

What have you found interesting or successful, and why?

That's definitely a new one; I'd not heard of that strategy before. It's certainly interesting if you have players who are into actually playing their characters. Did you find the group got bored with being bumped back to Level 1 after being effectively action-movie stars for the opening?
