[QUOTE="Ath'kethin, post: 9201309, member: 6798775"] In one campaign I ran, the three players decided their characters were brothers, all from the same wasteland tribe. They were sons of the chief, and the eldest brother, who was also was a Barbarian by class, was the heir. The middle brother, who was a Rogue, was the village healer/medicine man. The youngest son was a Warlock. Their backstory was that the tribe were followers of the Great Old One Shub-Niggurath, The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young, and their tradition was that the youngest son of the chief would be sacrificed on his 16th birthday. At the time of the sacrifice, the two older brothers disrupted the ritual and rescued the youngest then fled to the nearest ancient, decadent city. This was a very Sword & Sorcery style campaign, if that isn't apparent. Anyway, this setup gave us tons of backstory to weave into the campaign, since there was a persistent threat that the tribe would find them, there was the rival tribe whose princess the oldest brother had been supposed to marry, youngest gained his warlock pact as a result of the ceremony, etc. It was great, and we developed it all during our Session 0.
