You're starting a new campaign!  Yay!  Everything is so shiny and new.  Your DM has asked you to come up with a backstory for your dragonborn druid from the high deserts and you have no idea where to begin.  How do I incorporate my backstory into the DM's world?  How can I help my DM create adventures with my backstory?  

Or you may be a DM who wants to incorporate backstories into the new campaign and you aren't quite sure how to proceed.  Good news everyone!  This episode can help you either way.
