Regarding character bios… the character playbooks in Beyond the Wall are a pretty interesting stab in this direction as well. They aren’t anywhere as detailed as the Sailor Moon bios, but they develop a good bit of essential character background and, more importantly, do so in a way that creates bonds between players. As great as it is to have a well developed character concept in general, I really love the idea of encouraging players to establish shared experiences right from the start. I guess that’s a sign that I need to spend some time with the Apocalypse system.
I’m not sure if this is on purpose, but for some reason this episode is playing the same audio as Gen Con for me. Love this podcast btw! It was a ton of help for my first time DMing.
These feeds are kind of a mess. They’ve been dormant for years and errors keep piling up. I’d love to have the time to fix them. Hopefully someday.
