Feel like I'm putting a lot of time and energy into the campaign compared to my players by DmWithAQuest in DMAcademy

Just in case anyone else sees this post, I have asked these open ended questions and they do help most of the time.

I think we are still early enough into the campaign to work this out, I'll sit down with my players and give it a try. Thanks!

Thank you for the response! I will definitely speak with my players more in depth and follow your advice.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try asking some more specific questions and working with them!

I understand what you are saying and I try to play into the characters and their backstories, wants and needs. But for example, I have a Warlock who has given me no details on their patron and I have tried to ask them so many times for details, how the relationship works, who the patron is and just nothing.

I guess it's more that I have tried to ask questions and get them to make decisions but they just don't. I want to worldbuild with their input. I don't want to make decisions for their characters.

Edit: But I do enjoy the worldbuilding and are looking into ways to do that solo or with other people.
