I have never DND'd but this is Hilarios, It is actually part of the reason I have never participated. Too much stuff. Bravo though!
Honestly, most of the time players just have like 3 or 4 sentences for a backstory. Which is really better most of the time as it lets you build out the character over time in the game. If that's the only thing holding you back, you should give it a try!
Seconding Lutz's point! I'm a pretty casual player so I tend to focus more on rolling dice for fun and interacting with NPCs. Other party members actually will attempt voices sometimes or have more integrated back stories with the actual places in the campaign. It's definitely what you make of it!
That sounds cool. I just don’t have any experience with it. The barrier to entry seems high. Kinda like Lemmy to begin with.
Where is this from??
I honestly don't know, pretty sure I saw it on Reddit a while back. I have it saved because I have a buddy who literally formats his character backstories like this and I like to poke fun at him.
I’m that player. I love writing characters so coming up with a detailed backstory for why my guy is here and what type of personality I’m going to roleplay as is part of the process.
As the DM, I love it. It gives me something to work with for adding bits of player backstory to the overall plot.
