[QUOTE="Emerikol, post: 7752056, member: 6698278"] I am really big on session 0. I interview each player individually. We come up with his character concept and I help him to fit it into the campaign setting. Rarely I may shoot it down if it totally doesn't fit. At this time he learns a lot of stuff that only he knows. We talk a good bit. We roll his attribute scores. He then goes off to create his character. He doesn't need me for that. If there are any house rules then of course those come out too. We communicate back and forth over email if there are more questions or more ideas. This is player time NOT character time. We create the character with a rich backstory (hopefully). I do this with all the characters and sometimes these interviews happen with more than one member of the group but they are all private so the rest would be in the other room. Sometimes a lot more is done over the phone than face to face but communication happens. I do this for all the players. Then we start. I usually provide some reasons for why the group is together (or they do) just prior to placing them in the sandbox. [/QUOTE]
