[QUOTE="Gorgon Zee, post: 8447461, member: 75787"] I do agree with you that the GM is expected to tie together many of the AGON pieces to make things more coherent. My reading of the classic Greek mythologies indicates that there really should be quite important effects on the story based on the character's history, so I did a couple of things: [LIST=1] [*]I modified islands quite significantly to incorporate character histories. One island invited one hero's help; another had ties to the family .. that sort of thing [*]I would note down the personal answers players gave and try to incorporate that into sessions. [/LIST] My final session (when the heroes arrived home) was almost entirely based on notes I had taken from the players and their actions. The basic plot was that sea raiders (inspired by the characters' earlier actions) invaded the homelands of 2 of the characters with pillage and destriycion on their mind. The other 2 characters were involved by their deity connections. But none of this is in the book -- not even advice to do so. It's very much left up to the GM [/QUOTE]
