Good ideas here. Regarding D&D settings, I'm mostly versed in Eberron so that's where, as a DM, I stage my stories. In the world of Eberron (at least in the main continent of Khorvaire), a mercantile organization of Halflings, House Jorasco, holds a monopoly over the healing business and...

Thanks! Yep, I wasn't confident enough to really start my planned storyline as there were too many loose ends whose resolution depended on players' behavior. Now I have a better idea of the direction things are going to take. So, most of my prep time went into reading enough about the setting...

So... We had our session. As PCs' backgrounds weren't developed enough, I let players have a sandbox in the main city, to discover the setting and flesh out their RP.
