In this episode back up a little bit and shares his thoughts on how attributes can play into the personality of your character. I introduce a character in this episode that is going to become a staple for us in this series. So I hope that you will join me for character creation from the ground up.
Next week we will move into races.
What does it mean to have character? If you are like most players you will start defining your path by picking your race and rolling some stats. Then you pick a class and maybe an alignment, and then you gear up for adventure. For many that’s all there is to creating a character, but for what I believe to be a much more exciting experience, personality needs to be bred into the character. I don’t mean a superficial background that is created by a few random rolls; I mean one that gives a certain amount of depth to one’s personality thus influencing thought patterns. Creating a character like that is a challenge that introduces ethical challenges that go beyond an alignment or dispositions established by a particular game system.
In this episode Matt covers the agenda that will hopefully bring us into the new year. That agenda will include developing the role of character in at least five parts. ability scores, race, class, alignment, and personality. it doesn’t matter what role-playing game you play there will be something in these videos for you.
I know this session wasn’t super exciting but thanks for watching.
