Several weeks ago, I got to jump back into the DM's chair and fire up my own campaign for my gaming group. I've had a great time putting together the little corner of the campaign world they'll inhabit, as well as pulling together some backstory ideas I've had for years. I gave them some basic world history and the local political setup and stepped back out of the way to let them add characters to my world. Since I had the first adventure already planned out, I gave them near total freedom in putting together characters, which made for some
very interesting choices indeed.
