@slyflourish Every time I'm having a hard time coming up with a hook, a strong start, or just trying to mix up the pacing of the game I have started reverting to "What is the most interesting thing that could happen to this character right now?"

I hop onto my legendkeeper page for the character where i've got a checklist of interesting hooks I grabbed from the players backstory and inject it into the world.

It's been great for my new Starfinder campaign to evoke the space opera genre.
