I finally made a little progress with my D&D prep with that group…
A little.
I at least have some measurement of what they are interested in, but I need to work out where to take it, honestly I have no direction right now.
One person has a relatively solid character concept, but it’s very vaguely defined in terms of motivation and they said they don’t want it to be too integral to the “main plot” so I can’t use it to spin off the entire story, just a subplot or aspect of a greater scheme. Which is fair. Much better than the alternative of main character syndrome, that’s for sure.
