[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 9217429, member: 20323"] Ah, well done, fresh office blood for the RPG cult! ;) Resource-wise, I highly recommend [I]Beyond the Wall[/I] for its village creation section & [I]Worlds Without Number[/I] for ideas/tables for fantasy world creation. I can also recommend using shared sketching, e.g. "pass the character sheets / village sheet" and each person draws in something for <60 seconds. This is a different way of sparking the imagination that can engage some players deeper/differently than words. I have done this with small group of players and it worked great for us. Another trick are to present leading question based on what you know about a player's interests, gaming style, and rough concept for their character background/race/class. For example, if you have a player who you know loves instigating and mucking with stuff they shouldn't, and they're leaning toward a charismatic caster, you might ask "Who was the last person to steal the Scepter of Azarion and why are there rumors you were involved?"
