[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 9420408, member: 82524"] So here's an example from one of my current playtest games. Basically, we're doing a magic school campaign and I decided that the framing story would be that they're all doing independent study to research and collect their weapon, armor and familiar. Everyone got a choice of designing what their item would be or asking me to do it, and then I took their notes on what kind of adventures they wanted to go on to get said items. So our combat obsessed players gets quests with Big Fights, the two that like playing with the lore of the world, got adventures that led to lore, and the chaos goblin got complicated, hyper-referential trollbait with stop motion skeletons. I also asked them about friends and family and where they would be and what they'd be like so as to create side stories to the independent study quests. And then I also have some episodes that are Just For Daddy; full of puns and pro wrestler pastiches and the legendary 'Wizard' Spell, 'Punch'. Pretty much the entire campaign is bespoke based on the desires of each player at the table. [/QUOTE]
