[QUOTE="SlyFlourish, post: 9048771, member: 54840"] I know I'm late to the recommendations but as others have said, focusing down on what matters to the characters right off the bat often leads to a more fun game for everyone. Having a huge vast and deep set of lore can be good for filling in details of their explorations but there is nothing in the campaign more important than the characters, their drives, their ambitions, and the paths in front of them. A good campaign one-pager can help as can a solid session zero where you and your players work together on the characters, their relationships, and their drives in the world. Helping them focus on whatever the theme of your campaign is can help to. "Whatever you are, you are driven to work with your fellow companions to do X" where X is whatever the drive of the campaign is.
