In this video, we explore various ways to use character backstories in pre-made modules or adventure paths. We discuss three different methods, each with its own pros and cons, and recommend which types of player groups would be best suited for each approach. Whether you're a Game Master looking to enhance the roleplaying experience or a player looking to bring your character to life, this video provides valuable insights and tips for using backstories to elevate your D&D game. With a focus on immersion and building believable characters, this video will help you unlock the full potential of pre-made modules and take your roleplaying to the next level.

DISCLAIMER: We at the DM Lair no longer support Wizards of the Coast due to the unconscionable and, frankly, malicious actions by their senior leadership with respect to the Open Gaming License (OGL). However, we still love D&D and RPGs, and we remain dedicated to helping the community, particularly game masters. So, while you will see videos that talk about D&D and 5e resources, the reason we create them stems from our desire to continue providing support for GMs who continue to run D&D for their groups. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with D&D; there is something wrong at WOTC. And it is the latter that we take a strong stance against. The DM Lair team still loves D&D; we still love the community.
