[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 6060677, member: 87792"] Start off by taking Backgrounds and One Unique Thing from 13th age - factors that allow the players to write aspects of the game world. Add in a line in chargen "I hate [BBEG name] because_____" or even "[BBEG name] hates me because_____" to further allow the players to set the campaign setting - your BBEG has to be someone who fits all those points. And that's without letting the PCs frame the scene directly. And then there are the abilities.
