[QUOTE="Beginning of the End, post: 5043982, member: 55271"] (a) What do they want? (b) Why don't they go look for it? Set up a detective agency. Pop down to the local law enforcement office and say, "You guys hiring? Any bounties that we could try to collect?" Read the paper and look for any interesting kidnappings, disappearances, or the like that they could poke their noses in. There's nothing wrong with openly communicating with your GM about what your goals are and what you'd like to see in the campaign, but that communication with the GM doesn't require that your character sits on his ass and waits for God to deliver something interesting for him to do as if it were a pan pizza. The exact opposite actually sounds true to me. Can you imagine if Frank Miller had written BATMAN: YEAR ONE like that? Batman puts on his bat-suit and then sits around stately Wayne Manor waiting for a mystery to fall into his lap? That was hokey even after he built himself a rep so that Commissioner Gordon would call him on the bat-phone. If you want to deal with local crime you either hang a sign out so that victims know to come looking for you; or you beat the pavement; or you put your ear to the ground. [/QUOTE]
