A Question About Tabletop IntChecks

[Cleveraptor]

I don't want to clutter up the forum unnecessarily, so I'll pose the question here instead of posting first and then getting bonked by staff.

So as far as the interest section goes, are there rules (written or unwritten) against creating an interest check that boils down to "This is my character and I'm looking for a GM and/or group to brainstorm with"?

Thanks in advance.

@Cleveraptor I don't think you're going to have a lot of luck with your endeavor. Generally GMs have a particular game world in their mind that they wish to tell their story in, and they won't accept a character as-is that was made without knowledge of the setting. Certainly, it's a huge ask to expect a group or GM to base their world around the ideal character you want to play. It smacks of "I want to play an RP my way, but I'm too rigid to bend to anyone else's desires."

That said, There's no rule forbidding an interest check like that. So... Try it?

Yeah, you’re allowed to post that sort of thread as long as it’s not spammed across subforums.

This is assuming OP's character isn't designed for a standardised tabletop setting like Forgotten Realms in D&D 5e, which is fairly commonly used on here.
