When you present a few hooks in the midst of roleplaying, I think it makes the world come alive a bit.

That let me explain why they're adventuring together (they all have the same mentor, or have heard of and want to meet him for whatever reason) and work some shared detail into their backstories. But I like your idea too, I'll probably try something like that in an adventure of my own. (Or if I run KotS again.)

I think my group would probably enjoy something similar to that, I might throw in a fourth possible hook along those lines. Cool idea, r-kelleg!

This is most of the time the way I choose/ Let the players decide where to go and what to do. Of course, on the other side, you need to be as good as possible in improvisation. But this is another story. BTW, I'm also running KotS with a new group of players who wanted to try the 4th edition ASAP. In order to jump as fast as possible in action, I recruit the character in the "special op" company of the king army. Fast and easy. That’s completely right.
