[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 9198728, member: 29398"] Were I doing the amnesia trick I'd say something before they started rolling up, along the lines of "Don't bother developing any background as it's not going to be relevant any time soon", and leave it at that. Will they be aliens dropped on to a new world? Will they have amnesia? Will they be swapping characters after roll-up? Answers to come when the game begins! :) Sometimes the players can help here too. I had a campaign start by two players having their characters - who already knew each other - roll through the country, trying to recruit neophyte adventurers at every village they found, because "There's gold (and adventure) in them thar hills and we gon' get some of it!". By the time they got to said hills, in which awaited a certain Keep on some borderlands, they'd built a party around themselves. [/QUOTE]
