But... All of this, all of this will fall flat upon its face if the Players are not on board with the shared concepts you put out in front of them. A campaign is ultimately a collaborative process and if your main protagonists ignore this or balk at some of these premises... well... let's just say I always wanted to play a gritty Dark Sun campain for decades, but that remains a pipe dream to this day.It is not my intent to discourage, but my point is that unless you have the fortune of being able to hand-pick your players to match the concepts in your head... perhaps you should prepare yourself to make some allowances. That is the blessing and curse of us DMs... the enjoyment of the group trumps our personal expectations.</blockquote>
