[QUOTE="prabe, post: 8035503, member: 7016699"] I have started posting my wife's notes in the Story Hour forum. Search for "Erkonin." I'll start Campaign 2 on Wednesday. You can (sort of) see for yourself, if you want. To answer your question here: I ask the players for backstories for their characters. I start things off by putting the characters in the same place and time and throwing stuff at a fan. Once things are going I tie in both the individual characters' backstories and previous events in the campaign. I work to have multiple goals available for the party to pursue so they can choose among them. Some of those goals will derive from the characters' backstories (exploring character). Some of those goals will involve discovering things about the setting (exploring setting). I don't intentionally prep more than a session ahead, and anything that hasn't come up is subject to being changed if needed. Is that responsive-ish? [/QUOTE]
