Player Character Start
1. Character 2. Table Basics 3. First Session
This takes about 5 minutes. You are making someone ready to join a group, not writing a novel.
Make 3 Quick Choices
- Ask what game your referee is running and what level you begin at.
- Pick one clear party job: scout, talker, or fighter.
- Give your character one reason to work with the group.
Keep It Simple
- Bring one useful tool, one weapon, and one problem-solving idea.
- Write one short personality hook, not a page of lore.
- Leave room for the group to shape who your character becomes.
Before Session One
- Know your name and party job.
- Know what your character wants right now.
- Know why they will not abandon the group after the first setback.
