Character Creation

This roleplaying game supplement presents character creation as the beginning of play. Players collaboratively establish their characters’ histories, relationships, setting connections, and the foundation for the campaign’s first story arc. The process starts with each character’s high concept and trouble, then develops a backstory across five phases. These phases cover the character’s background, entry into the game’s setting, and past adventures involving both their own and the other players’ characters.
