[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7013140, member: 6816692"] Oh, that could be because I used a (maybe too directly translated) common german phrase. He's at his planning table, writing his plan's advancement on sheets of paper :) Regarding the level of depth: It all depends on your players and your and their personal preference. I'm lucky that I know my two guys pretty well (we've been playing together for over 14 years now), that one of them is my husband and that both have gotten really into investing emotion into their characters. It also helps that both coincidentally chose a similar-minded background (Taranesti and Shahalesti exile) and then chose to be childhood friends. I only knew that I wanted to expand on Syana, Trilla and the Taranesti-Shahalesti relationship since that were the themes that I knew could add some personal spice for them. They both asked me whether some of their background would be okay and could be integrated into the campaign: For Tinu, he wanted to be the nephew of some noble Shahalesti and asked me whether I could include his aunt Mariel who would be a cousin of someone from the royal family (I chose Shaaladel's then-unknown/unnamed dead wife who I then chose to be one of the reasons for Shaaladel's deep Taranesti-hate). For Cuin, he wanted to have his deceased mother be a "high wizard" who sacrificed her life to create a mythal-like ward on an important site for the Taranesti. Fortunately, both the Hange and Phorros Irrendra qualified and so I invented a high magic clique, the Syllith, who learned a special kind of magic from their guardian dragon, Syana, and who sacrificed themselves to protect their secrets.
