It sounds similar to my 5E campaign and how we do things, at least as far as I can tell.What kinds of things do the PCs have as agendas? What kind of background details shape their goals? In my own campaign, we have a fighter who is a Neutral human. He took the soldier background and determined that he was a mercenary. This was the first PC the player made for 5E (this was when it first came out) and the player specifically wanted to just focus on mechanics and so on. The character was almost a blank slate. But through play, we established that he’d been a member of a righteous mercenary company, but eventually left. He had a dwarf cleric companion that became a NPC and later a PC. With the players’ input, we determined that the merc company lost its leader, and the new one who took over started taking on less righteous work. That NPC and the merc company became ongoing foils for the PCs. Each of the PCs has similar stuff going on. Most of them have been incorporated into ongoing events to one extent or other. How do you guys handle it?</blockquote>
