I have been playing pathfinder for about six months now, listening to pathfinder podcasts for about a year, and playing 5e for the last two years. I am preparing currently to run strange aeons with a standard four person party and I am thinking about writing some of the PCs backstories for them, but not really telling them much about themselves. Since their lost memories are a huge part of the story, it seems like it would be interesting to have them tell me a bit about themselves (where they're from, their early childhood, and their current personalities/motivations/goals) and then write most of their backstory for them. I just think it seems like the amnesia aspect won't be as interesting if they know their backstory but simply have to pretend to not remember it, or if they simply don't remember the last year or so when they were working for Lowls. Any thoughts on if this would go well would be incredibly helpful.
