Origin And Backstory (Must Be A Single Paragraph Long):


So. About this. Is that a hard-set limit on backstory length?

Yep. It's a Year One situation, plus it helps people get the CS out of the way and actually get to posting.

When it comes to completing sheets, whoever has the best spin on the character and sample gets the vote.

I personally like the idea of "if you cant sum up your origin in one paragraph there's a problem" as a philosophy.

Just a heads up, I'm changing the backstory requirement in the app from one paragraph to four, just to give people more freedom to flesh out their characters. I wanted to curttail the more masturbatory nature that these applications lend themselves to, but given that this is a Year One game that encourages straying from the beaten path, it might be beneficial to enforce the rule but in a looser sense to help people establish differences in how their characters got to where they are.

So Minimum One, Maximum Four? Strictly Four? Or Minimum Four? Sorry to be a pain, just want to be sure I understand.

Maximim Four, Minimum One. If you want to leave things close to the chest, that's your perogative. I've got no issue with that.

If it makes you feel any better, my Batman backstory was super barebones, and now I'm gonna have to rewrite it from scratch to make things a bit clearer. So I screwed myself as much as anyone. :P

Sounds like someone needs to make really long paragraphs, huh.

You've written Batman for over a decade, so I think you have a leg-up on most people when it comes to drawing up the character's backstory.

And yet I just can't seem to stop inventing new ways to kill those damned parents. I'm worse than Warner Bros.

I mean how many ways can you kill Thomas & Martha Wayne in an alley near an old cineplex?

@Sloth are you just going to lurk or actually declare genuine interest for once?
