However the table has to balance everyone's fun so I can't make the story dove tail to 2/5ths the party at the expense of 3/5ths it wont if the players can be civil adult and mature... however it also can't be the take over plot. I would of course bring the idea to the table... but I wouldn't let two players stumble into "I used to be Black staff's apprentice and he is like a father to me" and "I hate blackstaff and want him thrown out of the masked lords and maybe even dead"  because they bothmade characters not knowing. wait what do you mean by 3 don't.  I would assume if 2 have fleshed out back stories most likely (and almost for sure in my group) all 5 will Now I have 5 story ideas, 3 working togather and 2 'rpoud nails' standing out. why focus on the conflicting players especially if they didn't work on it togather?but do they WANT to has to come into it... 6 people sitting around the table, each MUST be given equal weight.  I wouldn't let 1 player write themselves as the star I am not going to let 2 write themselves as the main conflict.... this is totally we need all 6 to buy in not 2 of 6 (the 6th being the DM)not only do I think the DM has a place, I think every person at the table has a place.  If 2 players going against each other sounds fun... cool role with it. if it doesn't then you tell them to knock it off and make characters that will fit at the table.</blockquote>
