Character Creation
Player’s First
Task
Ø Tell me why you are the person you are.
Ø
Write down your expectations for the length of
the campaign, the length of story arcs. Do you want any to arcs to revolve
solely around your character? If you don’t know what you want, then explain
what you do not want or like.
Ø
As a group, define the campaign you want these
characters to adventure in. Define the dangers, the physical setting and the
social setting. Tell me of the hardships you feel the characters and party
might face.
That is it!
Things to think about:
• If you like long campaigns with thick plots but you don’t like to take
notes you are setting yourself up for failure
• If you have a poor memory, either take good notes or play a forgetful
character, (I.E. low intelligence)
• If you don’t want to figure out plots then you want a hack and slash game,
think about it
• If you don’t like interacting with NPCs then you should not be playing an
RPG. Part of your 'role' is for you to act in character with NPCs,
even if poorly
• This is a cooperative role-playing experience, loaner characters are
discouraged
o A fascinating fact, my evil
campaigns are a lot better at team work then my good campaigns
