My players don't write character histories,. It started off as laziness on their part, then I started writing them for them (they get input, but only if they put it in before the final, 6-10 page draft).This was especially important when we started an FR campaign, cos when we started only two of us where FR savie. So I wrote the histories, and I relate back to them during game play fairly frequently. I don't want to do this again, because the players are relating back to them less than I am, they appreciated the work I put in, but 17 levels later they are living in the now, with no real rememberance of their past and no thoughts about the future.That said, without the histories I don't think this campaign would have been the long runner that it has been. It's been going for a year and a half, every week, and I've just hit my first burn out. So we've rotated to Paranoia for a while so I can play a fun character.Like I said he is one of my two best friends and I have played with him for about 8 years now. We're both 30ish and quite mature. Just I can be insensitive, and he can be over sensitive. It's not a good mix at the best of times, but when we disagree, in my game, when I'm DMing, it can lead to problems.</blockquote>
