[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8713322, member: 67338"] yes, you started it that way... so we talked about our backstories... I will pull some random examples I am a Ranger that grew up a farmer (hence my survival skills, and I am touch cause farm boy) who's family was killed and his farm burned down. I grew up with a town bully I hated and a girl (now woman) that both me and said bully liked. She WANTED to be a hero someone from the stories. Ken is playing a Fighter he was the bully in my home town but got drafted into the military of a local lord and fight in a war... he is back now and feels bad for how he treated me and 'wants to make it up to me' he has a bit of ptsd and doesn't know what he wants to do but he is with us Kari was the girl that we both had crushes on... but she only wanted to be an 'adventurer' and as such she went to a local wizard and learned magic and how to fight like the characters in her stories... she is a bard, and she is just traveling with her two best friends looking to see what is out there. (all three of us are human) We are joined by Kurt who is a warforged Druid/Wizard... he has ever plan on going necromancer and RPing being a blighter of sorts. He hates civilization and wants it torn down... but he hasn't figured out how to replace it yet. He was made to be a killer by the master of the wizard that taught Kari and rebealed when he got a soul...somehow and Matt who is a teifling hexblade. His background reads like a who's who and whats what of cliches... so we have 1 player that really has no goals (matt) we have one looking for something amazing to happen (kari) we have 2 that there conflict drama and plot are all interpersonal and self discovery (me and ken) and we have 1 who will have something to build to but has not starting point (kurt) so how long do we sit in this bar and talk before something happens?
