[QUOTE="CydKnight, post: 7115161, member: 6873462"] I have been letting all player characters develop their own individual backgrounds usually after giving them a brief, general direction of the campaign they are about to begin in a Session Zero. Often one or more players do ask for input from me even if it's just to run by me what they've created. With this method, I can work in player backgrounds as I develop the campaign and even develop quests based on them IF the players are open to pursuing quests based on their individual backgrounds. Usually I have several PC levels worth of the adventure generally laid out in advance. I then consider each of the individual player backgrounds and see how they might fit into what I have so far if at all. As I gain/develop more material, I continue seeking places to work in those backgrounds. If all players are open to pursuing campaign quests based on their individual backgrounds, I will eventually develop one for each character and insert it at the appropriate time/place. This way each player gets the opportunity to shine and perhaps take on a leadership role for the party. [/QUOTE]
