No the other one . <| sep |> Like an art museum , the White House has more objects than it can possibly display at one time . They president receives hundreds of gifts from heads of state every year , they become property of the Presidency , not the president . Of course selling a state gift on ebay would be insulting , so they are collected as historical artifacts . <| sep |> I actually hate that album . It ' s incredibly pretentious . Plus CG ' s musical skill is so inconsistent . <| sep |> Great job on the costume ! <| sep |> The way I think about my prep and fronts is not at all about what the characters will do . Ask yourself what exists in the world ? what have my characters told me about the world ? Once you have a few items on that list well there is the mafia like family , there is this elf lady who is a weirdo , there is a church looking for a messiah . you just ask yourself what they are doing to advance their goals . Mafia family wants to make money , maybe they are doing some sketchy trades , elf lady wants an artifact , maybe she is hiring people to get it maybe your adventurers , maybe other people ! etc . etc . Just make the bones of the world and let the characters run around in it . Things happen without them , and they will surprise you every time with what they choose to do , or what they find interesting . I try to have a few plot hooks scattered around for those moments the party does not have a clear goal , but they choose what they pursue . Another thing is part of be a fan of the characters My party had gone through a town that had some nasty evil in it for economic reasons and they took information about that back to the mafia family . One of the PCs also died there . I really thought they were done with the town , but they decided entirely on their own they wanted revenge , and they were going to burn that town the hell down . I had no plan for this at all , but dang it they came up with a plan and I just let them have the things to make it possible . No , you can ' t find any bombs , they aren ' t really a thing in the world , but you can buy some barrels of nice flammable pitch from the shipwrights . and yea , hive of scum and villainy this city is , of course you can find some people who are fast with a blade and will do things for the right amount of coin . Now it was hard , and they very nearly party wiped , but they burned that mother down . TLDR , make a world in your head and let them explore in it , scatter plot hooks based on their characters what will be interestingif they have an idea , lean into it , make things happen for it to be possible , the game is all made up , you can do whatever the hell is fun for ya ' ll . To your specific example , if they want to murder hobo a village , sure . Next town over might not like them so much after they do it though . It ' s easy to keep their lives complicated , and complicated is interesting .
