So, I’m starting a new group of players with MotW. We are planning on doing a longer term campaign and I’ve Dmed MotW quite a few times already for a group of experienced RPG players.
I’ve run into an issue with newer players that didn’t come up in my old group. How much world building do you roll with from the players? I want them to. Be invested in the world so I obviously want them doing some of the world building and lore stuff. But I have one player who essentially just took a character from Supernatural and inserted them into our campaign/world. And when I say inserted I mean, their backstory literally involves the Winchester and their main antagonist is a primary antagonist from the show and that the battle between angels and demons and other angels is going down.
That wasn’t necessarily what I was hoping for, but is it a huge problem? Do I try and roll with it or do I make it clear – this isn’t that world, but there are similarities?
Should I do anything about it and if so, what?
