[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6916593, member: 6701872"] I want to add that this is what I did in my afore mentioned all wizards at school campaign. One player wanted to play almost more of a shaman sort of character, so an appropriately styled tribe happened to live in the area surrounding the school. Another player wanted relationships with other students and faculty to be a big part of the story, so I quickly thought up a few students that would make good buddies for them and worked with the players to establish their personal relationship with the department heads of their respective specialty schools. The other two players were joking about a party of all wizards ending up in a dungeon with 2 spells each and choice of a stick or a dagger, having to fight for their lives to escape, and sounded like they were excited by the prospect, so I added in a secret extra-dimensional "dungeon" alongside the secret work-space/club house I was planning on using to facilitate some privacy for the characters without them having to leaving campus. This last one lead to the first of many memorable moments, when the party were exploring the hidden space and found a chamber guarded by two giant constrictors. Everyone starts to flee, except the enchanter who draws his dagger and spawns the exchange of "Hey, where's Zeke?" and "Oh, just knife-fighting those snakes." which set the players to laughing as their characters rejoined the battle, and actually managed to kill both snakes without anyone getting hurt.
