It really helps pull the player into the campaign world and it makes the character more special to the player. I think it is cool when the rest of the group wants to join along for the ride and help the PC out.Unfortunately, in the past 10 years of playing 3.5, I have barely been successful doing this. When I was a teenager in my original group, we did this all the time and it made the world come alive. But as an adult, players come in and out of the group, or the player has no interest whenever I introduce something specific for their PC (they just want to focus on the adventure & pretty much ignore anything else). So I found myself wasting a ton of time creating content that never gets used.Part of my enjoyment from DMing comes from creating scenarios for each PC. But I have not done this in a couple of years because I know nothing will come of it. I really do miss doing that. I like to see a PC build "character" and watch what the player does with the PC.</blockquote>
