Do you read out your background sheet to the others at the start of the campaign and give updates before each session as their characters develop? If not how do you do this? DND seems like a game designed around actions (skill and ability checks, saving throws and to hit rolls); how do you sprinkle that with motivations? Its not like you read a book or watch a movie and get to know the other person through some cool voice over. Don't get me wrong there is lots of roleplay in our game...just no understanding between the players or characters. Come to that; it would be really interesting to figure out what motivates major NPCs but you rarely do. Why is the sage helping you for free? Why does the inverted pyramid really want you to do this job? What pushes the buttons of the individuals that make up House Vladaam?Do you guys bother?</blockquote>
