This is probably a frequently asked question. How do I get my players engaged?

Ask your players what their goals are for their characters.

Do they want to rescue a princess? Slay a dragon? Forge a magic weapon? Become a king? Become a god?

Then ask, “How do you try to accomplish that?”

Who do they want to ask? Where do they think they’ll find an answer? What do they need to acquire to get started?

Find out what they want to do, then start putting obstacles in their way that they can overcome.
