For example, wanting an AP to invest in greater reasons for characters to be involved. That requires an enormous amount of work on your part, and there is nothing anyone can tell you (input) that will change that. Why? Because your players have their own reasons and own backstory.If you will indulge me, I can give you an example. In one AP I wrote, I provided optional backgrounds the PC could take. One was a noble that ran off because he was tired of all the "royalty" stuff. Another was a member of a local and large farming family. Another was a guard who quit because of something that happened to him off duty. I placed sidebars for the DM during certain scenes that would progress these characters' story arcs. I was quite proud of it, as it allowed them to play the primary story arc and character story arc. But I also realize, it also takes a certain style of player to enjoy this.All that requires a lot of output on the players' behalf.</blockquote>
