[QUOTE="Helldritch, post: 8575268, member: 6855114"] Because this is exactly what I have seen numerous times, not only at my table when I had over 12 different groups, but at other tables as well. This is a complaint that many young or inexperienced DM asked about how to solve it. Note here that this is my experience, it simply happens that I have seen it countless of times over 39 years of playing. It might be something that is restricted to my little corner of the world, but somehow, I see these same concerns on this forum as well. In French we have a say that goes like this: "The cat burned by boiled water fears cold water." A kind of better safe than sorry if you want. Strangely, I have a total of 8 DMs in my two groups of 6 players strong. All them have had the same experience as I did and none with the same player. Same problem, same solution. All characters are made at session zero with all players involved. It works at all10 tables. Edit: Also, it does not mean that the background story would be rejected. A player might convince the other that his background would make for a great campaign. It is just that the background would simply not be an automatic go. [/QUOTE]
