[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 8574241, member: 7635"] I'm a little confused about what you mean here. If I make a dwarf PC and I say I want to reclaim my ancestral keep from the forces that razed it, including the rumored red dragon and goblin tribes, I'm giving you a clear goal and story hook for my PC. I'm confused about where we go from here. From what I've gathered, I've already crossed the line by assuming an origin and a goal tied to it with the assumption that you the DM will use it to somehow fulfill my character's arc. I shouldn't make any such narrative assumptions about your game, world or story or assume you have any interest or desire to design an adventure to liberate a dwarven keep from a red dragon. That is presumptuous and arrogant on my part and it reduces you to just fulfilling my story. Ideally, my dwarf should have just sprung up from the ground, fully formed and ready to do whatever adventure the DM has planned. At least, that's what I've been getting out of it.
