[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9388432, member: 20564"] Welp, I'm probably an outlier. Let me give you an example. Session Zero for my last finished campaign, which ended up running 3 years to a successful completion. I laid out some stuff, and then opened the floor to them. First request, from a player I've DM'd and GM'd for many times and knows me: "Hey, I'm playing a druid and I want something less nebulous than "nature". Can the palnet actually be the body of a murdered god, and the moon her decapitated head? Me: [I]ponder ponder[/I] Yeah, that doesn't interfere with anything and I see cool ways to tie it on. Okay, that's canon. Let's move forward. By the end of Session Zero, we had that Dwarves had been genocided, Drow and Halflings were both created races (and I later added variant Human to the list), and we had enough portals to fiendish realms that there was a knightly order to protect the lands against them. All of them from player request. Which I gleefully worked into what I had already planned and made each of those important campaign points. [/QUOTE]
