Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 6397850" data-attributes="member: 2011">Not yet.Our motivation for heading to Greenest was as follows:1) The DM had all of the PCs come up with background reasons to be in Berdusk.2) My PC interviewed adventurers to join an adventuring group (offstage, long background story as to why my PC was creating an adventuring group). It turned out to be the rest of the PCs (big surprise). We met in my mentor's home. She had had a vision of the plains in flames and a dark shadow rising in the midst and told us about it.3) So, we headed down the road from Berdusk to Greenest. We did not know that we were going to Greenest, we were going along the road to find out what the vision meant. Our motivation was to go adventuring and to investigate the vision.The vision was probably the tipping point on why we went into the town. The flames were just too specific. The party was kind of split. We all wanted to help (TMK, maybe not the Rogue), but we were also roleplaying our PCs that dragons are super deadly beasts. We talked about whether the dragon was the shadow in the flames or not, etc.So we are not using Factions yet, but we might in the future. My PC will probably never join a faction, just based on the details of his background, but other PCs might. I've always viewed factions as wanting capable individuals (as far as adventurers go, not maybe as far as innkeeper/spies go, etc.), not starting PCs. YMMV.</blockquote>
