I'm not a hundred per cent sure how I missed it (maybe I tuned you out 'cause I'm not super hype about Malifaux unboxings?).<br /><br />I'm glad to see you both have sensible thoughts about backstory. I've sat through far too many tedious conversations with people who put all of their character's interesting conflicts and struggles in the past, as things that are over and resolved. What do you do next - and why do I care? It's far more interesting for both of us if we discover things and resolve things during play. I'm a bit like you; I generally start off with a Tweet's worth of concept and then make up backstory as and when it's needed.<br /><br />'Plan your level ups' is good advice for systems where that happens. I'd give you a slap for overplanning your career path in WFRP or the IKRPG though (again - wait and see what happens during play rather than expecting me to provide an opportunity for you to go into Mage Hunter or Judicial Champion), and you'd be very disappointed if you went looking for that sort of thing in OD&D. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
