I thought that it was easier for them to get into their characters after that.Now I'm thinking I was wrong all the time. I have read somewhere in Enworld, and I aplogize to the member who said that to be unable to quote him, that you could ask to your players to have a negative bond and a positive bond with other players. (In the case that they're knowing each other in game) And to have secrets that they want to preserve and hide to other. Each player know that others have secrets too. And I find that very interesting. Some people don't like to do a proper background for their character. And I always think'd that it was a simple way to be involved in your fresh character and create a relation between the player and his character. But someone said here that he didn't like to write and think about a whole background since he's not sure that this character is going to love his character. And a lot of people are not really comfortable about writing a lot of text and thinking about a whole story... So...I liked these kind of tips and I think I have a better comprehension and I'm trying to improve my DM skills and understand what my players want/love instead of doing what I think it's better for them. Do yous guys have more tips ?What do you do to get involved in your character ?Do you try to build a relationship with other character ? If yes, how ?Do you prefer ask some questions about their characters, or do you ask to your players a background ?Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
