[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5120575, member: 18701"] Also, think about all the stuff that DMs don't use because the PCs change so often. Not only do we write world history that is never used in game, but we write [i]potential[/i] future history for PCs that is also wasted. I've written numerous scenarios for PCs and launched the beginnings of what was supposed to be an interesting side adventure for particular PCs to be involved in. Then either the PC dies before he can get knee deep in the side plot, or the player gets booted or leaves the game. I'm one of those guys that asks players to write a history for their PC. And I actually use that history to write up side adventures. I probably have a days worth of ideas that I wrote out for PCs and never got to use. [/QUOTE]
